Comments on: NASA releases partially restored Apollo 11 footage http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/07/16/nasa-releases-partially-restored-apollo-11-footage/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

(in fact i'm not, just going to leave a statement) Poor VIRGIL, could be just a monkeys nut, but, i'm definatly getting the feeling most of the opposition to his belief is mostly pride activated knee jerks. I'm not a propper scientist or an astronomer (isn't that just anyone with a telescope and a star chart anyway?. I got a map of america, don't meen i'm gonna start tellin folk what it's like in arizona) but i did ok with the physics bit at school. dropped some balls and ashtrays, splashed in the bath with and without bubbles. seen smoke from chimneys and camp fires, run about with a few pieces of material in my time, even flown a kite once. Watched my world (and not alot of TV) is what i'm saying, and the whole moon trip you've all been on together didn't look that convincing, bit of a joke in fact, well wonky. But then i havn't seen the media proofs that debunk the theorists so what do i know. i do know of other things you yanks can't hear though. Elvis wasn't the first to do rock music. you weren't the first playing baseball (it was an english kids game called rounders). Oh, and also, although another med'lin theorist called Darwin (think he was a brit too) says otherwise, that american bible of yours that tells us about the science of how we all came to be. also trys to tell you's one of it's most important message's again and again. PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL Y'ALL! xxx. p.s. them big buildings crumpled, just because a couple of wee aluminium planes bumped into them? get down off it, watch less TV, do some looking, and think about what your looking at, then do a little more thinking. ...and don't go shopping, think people, THINK!

Luckily, someone found some data stashed away in a closet and NASA has been able to apply some of the powerful image processing capabilities they’ve developed as they’ve had to prise the signal of mission data from the noise of space and turn it into useful results. This is the same sort of image processing capability that has been applied to medical ends to refine the ability of doctors to detect malignancies earlier, especially relating to breast cancer.
