____________________________________________________
The footage was AI upscaled (Topaz AI) on some segments, besides the usual color correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements.
Sequences are shown in proper mission context as much as possible.
Historical narration (from post-flight presentation and mission commentary) is used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.
Research, cleanup, editing, and processing by Retro Space HD.
