Closing in on the 40th Anniversary of the first moon landing, NASA has been working to restore some of the video of the event. Backup tape was lost somewhere, so the video engineers have collected recordings of the broadcast from around the world and have merged them together to come up with a version that is much clearer than anything seen since July 20, 1969. Wired has several videos on their site, and NASA TV will be streaming HD footage noon to 7pm tomorrow, July 17.
