You would be amazed how much footage there is of Saturn launches. They used almost as many cameras as they use now - even on board cameras. The difference is that most of the cameras used film - although there was some use of TV imagery as well.
If you get hold of the DVD called "The Mighty Saturns" you will see just how much footage there is. And that is just the Saturn launches.
Reviews certainly look good http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spacecraft-Mighty-Saturns-...If you get hold of the DVD called "The Mighty Saturns" you will see just how much footage there is. And that is just the Saturn launches.

Mission Control looks like Computer Geek Heaven.
I've just said the same the other programmers in my department, we're quite jealous of the size and number of their screens as I have to make do with a 23 and a 19...Though the guy on the right with 6 screens is using his laptop for some reason!
Just loaded up the feed to see a stunning shot of earth from high orbit (i think)
Wow
that's earth right now (well, in the current sort of time frame). Just blue with white clouds and maybe some landmasses I can see there?
And to think from that high up nothing / no-one can see all the st that happens down here. It would be awesome if they could have another camera looking out into space towards the stars
