Jarrah White?

Jarrah White seems to have fallen out of favor.  LEast seems to me.

er this was a joke thread, which you realized from the outset right?

It wasn't so much the signal was so poor, but that the camera used on Apollo 11 black and white and the  format conversion method, pointing a television camera at a monitor, degraded the quality.
Here is an excellent PDF that gives some detail on the technology used and the progression on each mission

What we'd have like to have seen is some more ambitious imaging.

Like 16mm color film? Also see post above yours again.

[chrisbobson]

Why did it take so long to move to color?

[dwight]

You tell me, I thought you have the book. Im sorry I didnt add a section that includes instructions on how to read it though.
