This is footage of the first time a human being set foot on an extra-terrestrial body : The Moon (July 20, 1969).

Neil Armstrong stepped out first and uttered these famous words that will remain with us forever:

"That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind."

@toonmunger

They said all the running and leaping about was "locomotion experiments". Yeah, right! ;o)

On the later flights (especially Apollos 12 and 17) they're obviously having a fantastic time. Giggling like schoolgirls.

It could also be just what used to be called "ghosting". We used to get that on our domestic TV in the late 1960s when the signal was weak and/or the antenna wasn't properly tuned. The TV repair man used to come and try to fix it for us. A bit of ghosting on a quick and dirty TV signal coming from the moon isn't really a great surprise.

buzz came to my class to talk and someone asked that and he said "I was so thrilled i didn't have time to worry and anything going wrong"

Ya, some kind of reflection or something. Definitely not part of the original video stream.

I'm sure it would be easy enough to test by comparing various "filmings of" the same video data.

I'm just guessing here, but it looks kind of like a reflection or something. Perhaps a product of some sort of refraction in the lens. Or, maybe it's just the sort of "ghosting" you see on TV when the signal is weak.

Sorry for the delay.. I was ill for about 3 days.

It was a very primitive tube-style camera built to withstand the harsh environmental conditions. Later Apollo flights used far better TV cameras on the moon. Hell, Apollo 17 footage looks nearly broadcast quality.
