I think you did an outstanding job of capturing the important points that you wanted to bring out concerning the Gemini and Apollo programs.\"Gen. Tom Stafford, Gemini 6, 9, Apollo 10, & ASTP astronaut\"Can\'t thank you enough for the \'flash drive\' with all the Apollo 13 photos. A lot of my life has been dedicated to the Space Program and I appreciate your interest in assuring that material that might be lost over the years is being preserved through your effort.\"Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP

\"They are without a doubt the highest quality image archive I have seen, and you need to be congratulated on the work and effort you have gone to!\"Max A.

\"THANK YOU so much for the Apollo 9 flight image collection! These images are by far the BEST resolution I have ever seen from Apollo 9! and the entire catalog taboot! Again, I can\'t say thank you enough.\"Matt P.

\"Amazing quality images. I hope more people see the work you are doing it is truly amazing! It\'s a gold mine for those who know it!\"Apollospace customer

\"Great productions. I like your down to earth more informal interview style. Keep up the good work. NASA has lots of oral history but it is not as interesting and personalized as what you create. Thanks for your great work preserving some history from those who flew!\"Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP

\"Astronaut Rusty Schweickart\'s story is one of the great ones, and the way this film [\"Rusty Schweickart: Apollo 9 & Beyond\"] tells the story has its own greatness.\"Stewart Brand, co-founder of Long Now Foundation and creator and editor of the Whole EarthCatalog (National Book Award).

\"What was the real meaning of Apollo? The big meaning? That\'s what I asked myself anticipating the 50th anniversary of that historic moment. Jeremy Theoret captured it in this film - this is what I believe. No small challenge.\"Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart.

\"I am proud and honored to have been helpful in producing the beautiful piece of art that is this film. From the music to the visuals to what comes out of the mind of an amazing human being, this is a seamless and for me deeply emotional work that is a major contribution to the annals of space and also human history. You have produced something very special with this. What I get from it cannot be measured in any form of currency. I want to savor the incredibly warm feeling this film has given me, thank you for that gift.\"Martin Lollar, crowdfunding executive producer of \"Rusty Schweickart: Apollo 9 & Beyond\"

\"What a wonderful and amazing film. Fred Haise provides such a terrific narrative. The clarity of the filming of Fred\'s historical and anecdotal recounting as well as the crystal-clear photographs is remarkable. It gives me great pride to have my name associated with this film and thank you for the exquisite and professional product.\"Arthur Siemientkowski, producer of\"Apollo 13 in Pictures and Words.\"

The Flight Images

Color photo magazines (27N, 34M, and 35U) measure 5200 x 5200 pixels at 300 dpi. Black & white photo magazines (28O, 29P, 30Q, 31R, 32S, and 33T) measure 4000 x 4000 pixels at 300 dpi.At 5200 pixels, the color Apollo 10 flight images on this USB are up to 70% larger than partially restored and corrected counterparts available online and on other commercially available media, which generally measure only up to 3000 pixels each, are only a few megabytes in size (if that), and have not been fully corrected and cleaned.

Each and every image on The Apollo 10 Flight Images USB has been painstakingly cropped and corrected for color, tone, and contrast and cleaned of blemishes including dust, hairs, scan lines, emulsion spots, streaks, scratches, stray reflections, and other flaws.

It is common for images to require as many as several hundred separate corrective actions to achieve the restored, corrected, and enhanced versions available on this USB. It is impossible to overstate the quality and beauty of these photographs - the most pristine they\'ve appeared since they were originally taken 50 years ago. The original negatives from the Apollo missions are stored in frozen vaults at Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, TX. Master inter-negatives were produced from the originals in order to preserve the originals while being to reproduce photographs, meaning successive generations of photographs were often produced from 2nd, 3rd, or later generations of negatives.JSC digitally scanned the Apollo Program photographs for the 40th anniversary of Apollo in and around 2005 and later. These raw images can be seen on the National Archives website and various NASA image galleries online.More recently, JSC has been re-scanning the original negatives at the highest resolutions ever in preparation for the 50th anniversary of Apollo, pursuant to a Space Act Agreement between Arizona State University (ASU) and NASA?s Johnson Space Center.The raw images used in creating the images found on The Apollo 10 Flight Images USB were acquired from ASU. Unfortunately, until today, the majority of these scanned images have not been available anywhere as completely restored, corrected, and enhanced high resolution images. What there is, are collections of images in raw, unprocessed form, or partially or marginally processed images that fail to fully showcase these images as they truly deserve to be seen.

This USB is changing that.

More than an historical record of one of the greatest accomplishments in human history, these images are also art. Each photograph appearing on this USB was taken by a human hand and with a human eye. 50 years later, each one been restored, corrected, and enhanced with a human eye as well, to be as visually pleasing as they are historically and naturally accurate.Just compare the raw and partially corrected images from the Apollo 10 Mission currently available online and on other commercially available media with the fully restored versions available on this commemorative USB.Here\'s a random photo from Magazine 35 that has been restored.

Prior to restoration, zooming in on the top rocket thruster revealed dozens of white spots.
