  1. I’ve seen that exact Speedmaster at the Cosmosphere.

    Also – makes me wonder if anyone’s tried AI upscaling the original Apollo 11 TV broadcast.

  2. I’m sure it’d look better if you looked at a version that wasn’t likely a 3rd generation analogue copy of the original flight films, or similar. Fortunately the original films were taken from the vault and scanned recently. The difference is stunning. Makes the the photos look more real, to me.

    Here’s a screenshot of an example to give an idea of the difference: [https://i.imgur.com/P2Wyycv.png](https://i.imgur.com/P2Wyycv.png)
