codenamegizmo: color tv for households was available in the 50's (very shortly after black & white tv) in the west - but was not actually feasible to make cost effectively, especially for consumers, until the late 60's. by the early 70's color tv's were much more common - also in some western european countries as well.
@Kinemacolour 1912? Theres colour footage from Scottland right here on YouTube from 1903, I think, theres a 'Trooping' from 1906 for King George of England at Buckingham Palance in Colour. Colour film, the earliest, dates to about 1897 I believe. It was just really not considered feesable or required in firt half of the 20thC, was too expensive and difficult to 'Bother' with such a shame really but really quite good colour film starts showing up from about 1930. 1st color TV 19,er 29? I think

I have some old 8mm reels that my Uncle filmed back in the early '60s that were color - no sound though.

Yeah, theres no way a government funded technology race with an opposing world power would warrant colour film...
The space race was ABOUT showing off.

There was loads of color footage shot even back in WWII. No biggie. The government had lots of experience, and lots of film.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!
Actually color movie techniques go back to 1912. Kodachrome for movies came out in the 1930s.

I meant "natural color" photography. Earlier color movies used hand coloring techniques, such as Pathécolor.
