The resolution is about 1m so it will not see footprints. The deniers will still have an ‘out’ - that the LEMs were unmanned.
I had looked forward to seeing this footage but as the anniversary arrived, the story persists that the footage was lost. It was mentioned that the film canisters they found in Australia turned out to be from an unrelated space probe.
What they showed us last week were images that were digitally enhanced in Hollywood. The side-by-side comparisons showed great progress, but viewed by itself, I was not impressed.
So is there better stuff still to be revealed?
And how the F could you lose the film from the first Moon Landing? It makes no sense that it would be warehoused on the small chance that someone might want to see it later. It should have been triplicated within the year and sent to the Smithsonian and Library Of Congress for safekeeping.
Even if they had to go to Australia to get the good copy, is that not possible? We just flew to the Moon and you’re telling me that a 12 hour flight is just too much of a hassle? What, the Postal Service is too risky so we think we’ll just leave it here on the table for the next 40 years and wait to see if any Naval vessels drop by?
