Reviews
'Frank Borman, the Apollo 8 commander who made history with his Christmas TV broadcast as he and his crew made the first circuit of the Moon, strongly resisted having to take the 12-pound TV camera when it necessitated leaving behind some of their meals to save weight. That camera not only made TV stars of the crew but also convinced millions that they must rush out and buy a TV set. "I was very short-sighted," Borman confessed.' - Astronomy Now December 2010, "A book so rich in illustrations cannot be underrated for its usefulness to media scholars and historians.""The DVD ...includes fantastic narrated slide shows and video clips, highly valuable material for a general audience & researchers alike." - Quest, Spring 2011

Synopsis
Book & DVD. The further the lunar landings regress into history, the more important the TV images have become. Until now the background story of this important footage has been overlooked. The TV systems used on Apollo were not without controversy. When President Kennedy issued the challenge to successfully land men on the moon and return them safely to earth by the end of the 1960's, NASA unwittingly found itself facing a two-fold predicament. Should the American taxpayer be privy to a front row seat via television, and would it be possible to develop compact TV cameras for just such a purpose within the allotted timeframe? Drawing upon the skill and knowledge of RCA and Westinghouse engineers a series of TV cameras were developed which revolutionised not only space exploration, but electronic news gathering as a whole. This book covers everything from the earliest known proposals of lunar TV coverage, and on through the political battles that ultimately led to the TV system which flew on the Apollo missions. The book takes what some may see as a very sterile or niche topic, and extends it into an interesting subject anyone can understand and appreciate. This book can be compared to the "Making of. . ." documentaries which often accompany feature films. For the first time, the live telecasts from the moon are given their own complete "Making of. . ." account., Emphasizing the importance of preserving the legacy of the Apollo landings, this unique record documents the background of the event footage itself. Revealing the vital role the medium of television played during this integral period in space history, this investigation draws from in-depth research of the NASA archives as well as outside sources such as the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. Demonstrating the skill and knowledge of the RCA and Westinghouse technicians of the 1960's, this study illustrates how their advancements not only revolutionized space exploration but electronic news as a whole. From the earliest known proposals of television coverage on lunar missions through the constant battle of internal politics, this survey also covers the processes of the slow scan conversion and the eventual transformation of the footage into color. Transforming a niche topic into an intriguing subject, this accessible reconstruction provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of space travel for both established fans and curious newcomers. Bonus DVD includes: The Making of Documentary, The NASA 2009 Webcast - Looking For The Tapes, 3 Slide Shows, and Audio Interviews with NASA TV Engineers., Emphasizing the importance of preserving the legacy ofthe Apollo landings, this unique record documents thebackground of the event footage itself. Revealing thevital role the medium of television played during thisintegral period in space history, this investigationdraws from in-depth research of the NASA archives as wellas outside ......
