Moon video #4.

Got knocked offline late last night which is why the moon series is spilling over into Tuesday. To mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, TCM showed Melies' Trip to the Moon and a documentary made for the 20th anniversary called For All Mankind that used footage shot during a bunch of the Apollo missions, most of which I'd never seen before. Lots of amazing images, including footage of the command module separating from the last booster stage, shot from a camera in the booster. So you see the capsule fly off and then just the blackness of space and then the Earth appears. At which point you realize that what you're seeing is the booster stage falling back into the atmosphere. Of course. Otherwise how could they have recovered the camera. Because that wasn't a special effect, it was something that actually happened.
The other fun thing I learned was that for (at least) one of the missions, the astronauts got to bring tape recorders so they could listen to music. One of them was a country music fan and Buck Owens and Merle Haggard recorded songs specially for the tape. Also a funny scene of (I think) another group of astronauts (the movie wasn't always very good about identifying which mission they were showing) playing "Also Sprach Zarathustra" on their tape recorder.
Finally, here's a fun list o' Apollo 11 factoids.
