Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the last steps
taken on the moon, this unique, definitive book about the Apollo
missions reveals hundreds of extraordinary, newly-restored, and all-new
images from the NASA archives that provide a never-before-seen
perspective on the Apollo endeavors.
In Houston, Texas, there is a frozen vault that preserves the original
NASA photographic film of the Apollo missions. For half a century,
almost every image of the Moon landings publicly available was produced
from a lower-quality copy of these frozen originals. Over the last few
years, NASA image restorer Andy Saunders has been working hard. Taking
newly available digital scans and applying pain-staking care and
cutting-edge enhancement techniques, he has created the highest quality
Apollo photographs ever produced. Never-before-seen spacewalks and
crystal-clear portraits of astronauts in their spacecraft, along with
startling new visions of the Earth and the Moon, offer astounding new
insight into one of our greatest endeavors.
This is the definitive record of all Apollo missions and a mesmerizing,
high-definition journey into the unknown.
