This video comparison between the original and the newly restored Apollo 11 video shows Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin raise the American flag on the moon.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, NASA released partially restored video of a series of 15 memorable moments from the July 20 moonwalk. The source material for the restoration project is the best of the available broadcast-format video. Lowry Digital, Burbank, Calif., is significantly enhancing the video using the company’s proprietary software technology and other restoration techniques. The video is part of a larger restoration project that will be completed in September and provide a newly restored high definition video of the entire Apollo 11 moonwalk. The completed restoration will provide the public with the highest quality video of this historic event.

the new video looks like it was just blurred. the old one was fine.

[Typhoon10000]

the cameras where modified, so they dont record the low light of the stars. If they would have used normal cameras, the bright surface of the moon and the suits of the astronauts would be just a big white spot. so, no we shouldnt see stars, you stupid ignorant.

@bonez093 LMFAO its waving because of the friction of the astronaut you stupid ignorant piece of shit....

[bonez093]

this video is fake.. there is no atmosphere where the moon is, so the flag would not be waving as much as it did.. i saw this today on mythbusterss and they busted it as a fake video..

@un4g1v3n1 lol! it is so expensive to fire a rocket out of our atmosphere!

In my opinion you should quit jumping at shadows and be pissed about something with more relevance.

[un4g1v3n1]

@tassidar86 If you think it costs more to shoot up a rocket, and film the rest of the 'moon landing', then it would have cost to actually go, then you sir, are the idiot.

Faith in your government? Your joking right. The same government that hides behind a veil of secrecy, and silence about true accounts in both American, and world history. The senators, and reps that vote for legislation that shits on the Constitution, and personal liberties, to safeguard us from a manufactured threat.

[tassidar86]

@un4g1v3n1 none of what you just said made any sense. why not have a little faith in your government. BTW why would they shoot a rocket into the air then go to a studio and film the landing. that would cost just as much as landing on the moon. All of you are idiots.
