Apollo God of Light

I was in elementary school in the 1960's during the space program. I followed Mercury and Gemini. Even at 11 years old I knew that Apollo was the most technologically advanced program in the world. I can remember watching liftoffs and splashdowns on TV.  Here's an amazing video of old NASA footage digitally enhanced. They've turned 30 seconds into 8+ minutes of astounding super slo-mo.
