“The live TV from Apollo 11 was terrible. Initially it was just blobs of white on a dark background.”
There is a GREAT movie about the TV transmission of the 1st moon walk called:
The Dish
It’s an Australian movie (the TV transmissions came from a very large dish receiver in Australia).
Very nice and family oriented.
that is one of the three deep space network dishes, and the one which received the apollo 11 images.
