Today is the fortieth anniversary of the day we saw those amazing television images of man first walking on the moon.
At this past Early Television Convention during a tour of the museum, Stan Lebar who headed the project to develop the camera used to make those pictures offered some behind-the-scenes reminisces about the camera and the moon landing.
I've just published the video of Stan at the Early Television Museum. (I can't think of a more appropriate day to do so than today!)
You can watch it here (http://www.archive.org/details/Stan_Lebar_at_Early_Television_Museum) and it should also be up on the Early Television website soon.
The program begins with a tour of the Early Television Museum and the interview with Stan begins at about 1 hour and 3 minutes in.
It was a real treat to get to meet and talk to this guy. I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing what he has to say in the video.
