Apollospace images are 60% larger by pixel size than images available on DVD or online, and each Apollospace image holds 10-30 times more information than comparable images!

For comparison, the Apollo 9 High-Res Image Library's mission flight photos available on DVD comprise only 1.4 GB of data, or about one-fourth of the DVD. The Apollospace First Steps Ultra-High resolution mission photos on our Saturn V USB currently available on Indiegogo comprise 15.9GB (1,590MB) of data – that's 4 DVDs worth of information for the flight images from that flight alone! The Apollospace Apollo 9 images contain more than 12 times the data than comparable images found on the DVD. The average data size of the images on the DVD is generally less than 10% of the size of the Apollospace images. You can read a comparison of Apollospace images with other images on our website.

But seeing is believing. Here is an image from Apollo 9 of the Dallas-Fort Worth region from another source (2292 pixels and 2MB in size):

Only a few folks have downloaded the free magazines, which is a real shame. Four years ago when I got a law job that allowed me to actually have a life again, I got back into the business of "space." I did a thorough review of every available Apollo image source and archive and realized that no definitive collection of fully restored images yet existed. Thousands of hours of incredibly tedious, but amazing and gratifying work later, that definitive collection now exists, an entirely unique collection of images from the newest JSC scans, each individually caressed by those Photoshop tools.

Seriously, if you have any interest in Apollo photography at all, have ever wished all the Apollo 10 images were available in ultra-high resolution, ever wanted to enlarge a photo to feet, not just an 8x10, then you should take advantage of the free magazines (or missions, every image from Gemini 6 is available too).

After you order the magazines you want and use the code, the screen will show the order details. After each magazine it says download with a blue highlighted magazine number. Click that, the magazine will start downloading. You will also get an email and can click the links there to download.

And then take advantage of the First Steps collection for only $50 through my Indigogo campaign. There are only 12 days left.
