Thanks a lot Mike! Yes, even if you don't see it on me
I have also seen this live on tv which alone was already a sensation at the time at least here in D - and it is and ever will remain a milestone event in human history - fortunately also with it´s so own visual language and soundscape(?)...Nice, very original idea
A little known fact: NASA had technical issues with the live feed of the moon landing. At the last minute, the Parkes telascope (NSW Australia) was pointed at the moon landing site to get the video signal. The video was sent to a black and white TV. A tripod was set up with a video camera pointing to the TV screen. So what the world saw was a Video camera pointed at a TV screen in an outback Country town in Australia..............all 320 lines of it at 10 frames a second. Pretty high tech Huh? But it got the job done -
Yeah... great story.
Watch the film "The Dish". History with a funny Australian narrative.
