Digitally restored footage of Apollo 11 moonwalk released

See it again for the first time!

The footage you've seen all these years was of such crappy quality because the original broadcast had to be re-broadcast from the Australian tracking station that received the signal. The tapes of the original broadcast have been lost until just recently, when they were found and restored.

Wow, what a difference! It's like going from a worn out VHS to Blu-Ray.
