High definition video wasn’t available during the Apollo trips to the Moon but the mission photos often have very high resolution. Here is an interesting video by Tom Kucy in which he adds slight motions to such photos that result in at least a hint of a more vivid view of those adventures.
GROUND CONTROL is a small personal project, bringing NASA’s Apollo Archive photos to life. With the intention of bring more missions life, stay tuned for more.

Once again, astronauts on the International Space Station dissolved an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water, and captured images using a camera capable of recording four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station. This footage is one of the first of its kind. The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
