The Moon landing was a blockbuster opportunity for broadcasting companies around the world. The Intelsat I ‘Early Bird’ communications satellite, which had helped provide the first live TV coverage of a spacecraft splashdown in 1965, was temporarily reactivated in order to broadcast the Apollo 11 mission worldwide. Many broadcasters used simulations to flesh out their Apollo programming. Networks paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for scale models of Apollo command modules and rockets. During the broadcast, these were used to create simulations of the mission which were then intercut with real footage. CBS worked with special effects specialist Douglas Trumbull to create their Apollo 11 programming, layering slides of graphics with images of the Moon during the live broadcast. This technique was later nicknamed ‘HAL 10,000’—an homage to HAL 9000, the antagonist of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, on which Trumbull had served as special photographic effects supervisor.

So they had exactly what they needed ready to cut in to a "live feed" and knew exactly what was going to happen during something that never been done before and it worked perfectly ? What if it didn't work out exactly the way they apparently knew it would? People would rightfully question the whole broadcast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
