Funny... I was just couple of hours before watching this link discussing with my friend about how people were united to common goal in the sixties, during the apollo missions, and how such unity could be brought forth in the present world.

Beautiful stuff.

In the shadow of the moon

By far the best film on the moon landings, everyone should watch it at least once.

Because I am cool and all that I went and found the whole film.

I've always found interesting how pristine all photographic footage taken on the moon is given that the cameras had no protections against the temperature extremes or shielding from radiation...yet the pictures are flawless. That must have been some kick-ass film they were using.

Early HD cameras. They put similar ones on the voyger probes which would still be working now if the probes had the power to run them.

I'm pretty sure they all returned from the moon....

Voyager probes did not use film. All video was electronically transmiited. Big difference there.

The film that was used is not nearly as frigile as you think and space not as radioactive as you assume. The only danger from radiation would have come from a large solar storm.

It was some of the latest tech of the time and it was protected to some extent, however, in one instance during Apollo 12 Alan Bean wrecked an expensive TV camera by accidentally pointing it at the sun meaning there was barely any video footage of the moonwalk the equipment wasn't totally infallible but it was some pretty neat stuff.

I disagree for the reason that astronauts in earth orbit have reported seeing sparks of light as radiation hits the retinas of their eyes. They are not even passing through the Van Allen radiation belts when this happens...yet going to the moon would mean passing through the belts.

You can imagine just how damaged film would be in the same environment.

That wasn't radiation but microscopic particles. Not big enough or frequent enough to wreck film.

You do realise the vast bulk of footage was beamed back to earth and put on tape there right?

You can also experimentally test how much radiation it would take to damage the film. However, skeptics never seem to hire any engineers to run such rigorous, controlled tests. Why is that?
