The Space Age in high def

Last year I wrote about how some Apollo footage had been remastered in high definition. Now we've got even more: Discovery Channel has remastered more than 100 hours of footage from the early space age into high definition! But what's cooler than that is that this footage has been given to NASA and will be available for free from their archives! Suhwheet. It'll come out in June in conjunction with a series on Discovery called "When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions", a show I will no doubt be watching. The link above to MSNBC has a few minutes of the footage, though currently it's not streamed in HD. Still, it's purty. This is very exciting. I remember very little of the early space age, except for the Apollo missions (I was 6 when I went to Florida with my family to see Apollo 15 launch), so this will be a fantastic way to live through it all. Tip o' the visor to Yishai Mendelsohn for sending me the link.
