Live TV From the Moon

I haven't posted in a long time - maybe a year.  I've done lots of reading and a few other amazing things.  One of them has been a insatiable desire to watch podcasts.

So I'm watching Spacevidcast and Dwight Steven-Boniecki is on talking about his book Live TV From the Moon -- The Story of Apollo Television (amazon, kcls).  As luck would have it my local library had a copy.

What an amazing labor of love.  Dwight is a 'video geek' and he became interested in what it took to send live video from space -- political, scientific, engineering and logistical challenges.  It's an awesome and untold story.  It even comes with a DVD.

If you are a space nut run, don't walk, to read this.
