By far the most decomposed 16mm film I have yet attempted to transfer - but still full of interesting info and some rare sights in testing the Apollo Command Module and folding up a giant space dish at the Johnson Space Center. Some music had to be deleted for a copyright slam - and Sooooo much adjustment needed, and of course as always I transferred this film with my own Telecine on its way to the landfill. Enjoy!

    How many rocket scientists does it take to change a lightbulb?
    We don't know, but it takes 40 to fold an antenna.

    Where else would you possibly go to experience winter conditions except Florida?

    "Music removed because Youtube doesn't know what fair use means" 🙄 Who knew b-roll music from taxpayer funded films from before the common era are closely guarded materials 🙄🙄

    I'm always amazed how you manage to get any colour out of some of these films. I would have just gone with black and white. LOL. Cheers Fran.

    So little blue left in that film stock, that background is supposed to be blue, not the pale green it is, but with the only thing that is left being red hard to correct the blue back in.

    It took quite some work to get the surviving Skylab solar panels to fully deploy.

    That film did look a bit rough but so do I after 50 years. If only I would clean up that well.
