This short is color by fade, but it still holds some gems from the space news of 1966, intended for viewing in schools. A look at the mission of Lunar Orbiter 3 and Surveyor 1, and an interesting glimpse into the techniques of casting models for supersonic wind tunnel testing. This was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki has a 5 Blade Shutter that projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track. Enjoy! Join Team FranLab!!!!

    The dark side of the moon seems to have a huge hole leading down into the cheesy middle.
