NASA just released 9,200 Apollo mission photos that will change how you see space by Biz Carson on Oct 3, 2015, 12:43 PM Advertisement
 You may think you've seen photos of the moon landing before, but you haven't like this. NASA just uploaded more than 9,200 high resolution images taken during every manned mission to the moon. These aren't just photos of the moon's surface either. The entire film reels were uploaded so you can see the blurry outtakes along with some candids of astronauts shaving while on board. Scrolling through the photos, it feels like watching someone else's vacation — but this one just takes place on a spaceship. The project's lead, Kipp Teague, told The Planetary Society that the collection includes every single photo taken on the moon's surface, along with the voyage there and back. His Apollo Archives project reprocessed the photos so they were higher resolution before posting them online in Flickr albums. We've selected a few of our favorites from each mission, but it's worth checking out the entire collection on Flickr.
