259-NASA – The 40th Anniversary of Apollo 11

This short video montage honors the events of the Apollo 11 Mission.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, NASA released partially restored video of a series of 15 memorable moments from the July 20 moonwalk. The source material for the restoration project is the best of the available broadcast-format video. Lowry Digital, Burbank, Calif., is significantly enhancing the video using the company’s proprietary software technology and other restoration techniques. The video is part of a larger restoration project that will be completed in September and provide a newly restored high definition video of the entire Apollo 11 moonwalk. The completed restoration will provide the public with the highest quality video of this historic event.

On July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a man first set foot on another celestial body.
