The definitive photographic record of all the Apollo missions, and a mesmerizing, high-definition journey into the unknownIn a frozen vault in Houston sits the original NASA photographic film of the Apollo missions. For half a century, almost every image of the Moon landings publicly available was produced from a lower-quality copy of these originals. Now we can view them as never before. Expert image restorer Andy Saunders has taken newly available digital scans and, applying painstaking care and cutting-edge enhancement techniques, he has created the highest quality Apollo photographs ever produced. Never-before-seen spacewalks and crystal-clear portraits of astronauts in their spacecraft, along with startling new visions of the Earth and the Moon, offer astounding new insight into one of our greatest endeavours. ' Just incredible. I have personally checked the images in the book, and if you want to know what it was really like on the Apollo missions, then this is for you' Walter Cunningham, Apollo 7
Andy Saunders' remastered images are so clear and real that they are the next best thing to being there. . . They are an exact representation of what I remember from my journey to the Moon on Apollo 16. These photos reveal very precisely what the Moon was really like -- Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 The images Andy Saunders has produced from the 50 year old original film are just incredible. I have personally checked the images in the book, and if you want to know what it was really like on the Apollo missions, then this is for you. The photographs capture the pioneering era I took part in perfectly, and the techniques Andy has used have brought out such fantastic detail from that old original film we took back in the 60s. Maintaining an accurate record of these historic moments is such important work not just now, after half a century, but also for future generations -- Walter Cunningham, Apollo 7 Seeing historians like Andy Saunders produce such cutting-edge results is incredible. . . Not only has Andy done a remarkable job bringing more details to light, but his incredible work has also created a lot of public excitement -- Dr Brian Odom, acting NASA Chief Historian After five decades, it' s very rare that something comes along from Apollo that genuinely surprises me. . . but this is truly special. It changes everything, in an instant -- Mark McCaughrean, Senior Advisor for Science and Exploration, European Space Agency Jaw-dropping remastered NASA photos * CBS News * Andy Saunders' remastered images leave me stunned. They give me chills. This is as close as any of us will get to joining the Apollo astronauts on their historic missions to the moon-and it' s a lot closer than we ever thought possible. This book, like all of his work, is much more than a thrill to behold; it' s a profound contribution to our understanding of humanity' s exploration of the heavens -- Jeff Shesol, author of Mercury Rising Even though I worked for NASA for 40 years, I can only view the work Andy does in digital restoration of analog imagery as innovative, creative, and a gift to the world. The precision, the detail, and the validity of his work on the old film from early human spaceflight is breathtaking to me - such incredibly valuable results and contributions to these historic events -- Jim Lewis, Command Recovery Pilot, Liberty Bell 7 Andy Saunders' remarkable digital imaging skills are rewriting space history. Saunders is doing for Project Apollo what the James Webb Space Telescope has done for astronomy: bringing our greatest adventure into sharp and arresting focus -- George Leopold, author of The Supersonic Life & Times Of Gus Grissom Andy Saunders' Apollo Remastered is utterly superb. Beyond beautiful -- it will take your breath away. Why did we go to the Moon? This explains everything. . . -- Dallas Campbell A peerless photographic masterpiece - almost as audacious as Apollo itself. If you only buy one Apollo book before the decade is out make sure it' s this one! A total treasure to pore over for a lifetime -- Dr Chris Riley - BAFTA nominated writer, filmmaker and co-producer of In The Shadow Of The Moon
