Amy Shira Teitel: Wie die (genialerweise) inkompatiblen Fernsehkameras von Apollo Live-Übertragungen von Apollo ermöglichten. Körniges Bild und niedrige Framerate ja, aber möglich.

NASA went to incredible lengths to make Apollo possible with the very feeble beginnings of computers back then. Ars Technica has a nice deep dive into the control center back then (really worth a read, even if it’s a long article):

It’s unbelievable how much technology and engineering went into all that, and you see only the very surface of it in old videos. Things that now run on a simple computer back then had a floor of a building dedicated to it.
