"One of the best records of Apollo history ever produced." --David
R. Scott, Apollo 15 Commander
"This book is so beautiful. Working in the space industry, it's
hard for me to be in awe of a lot of things as I'm so close to it,
but this took my breath away as I was turning the pages. I cannot
more highly recommend this."--Leah Cheshier, Public Affairs
Officer, NASA
"Apollo Remastered is a fine collection of remastered photographs
that depicts the real essence of the Apollo program. It brought
back many memories of my time during the missions - an incredible
book that will surely be enjoyed for many generations to
come."--Jim Lovell, Apollo 13 Commander
"In Mission Control, back in the day, imagination pieced together
grainy television images, crew voice reports and the flight plan to
portray mission events. Now, for the first time, Apollo Remastered
brings the glory of Apollo and the explorers into sharp focus.
Fifty years later, I can finally look over the shoulder of Mike
Collins and Al Bean and see what they saw... I become part of the
experience, as if I were a member of the crew."--Gene Kranz, Apollo
Flight Director
"For almost half a century, the original NASA photographic film of
the Apollo missions was stored in a frozen vault. But in Apollo
Remastered, imaging specialist Andy Saunders takes care to
introduce newly enhanced and crisp versions of the original
photographs from the missions....By pairing stunning images from
the moon's surface with stills from within the spacecraft, Saunders
presents a rare look inside these journeys to the moon. The result
is an immersive experience that not only captures behind-the-scenes
moments, but restores them for future generations."--TIME
"It's hard to believe the detail that Andy has pulled out of the
old Apollo film, especially the underexposed shots like the one I
took of Jim McDivitt that he's used on cover of this incredible
book. The first time I saw it I was just blown away, it's just
magical. Apollo Remastered is a truly valuable record, and a great
contribution to the history of human spaceflight."--Rusty
Schweickart - Apollo 9 LMP
"Space nerds will geek out over this far-out coffee table book,
which features hundreds of never-before-seen images from the Apollo
missions, lovingly brought to life by NASA's photo restorer
Saunders. Startling spacewalks, portraits of astronauts in their
spacecraft and dazzling new views of the Earth and Moon give new
insight and perspective on man's exploration of space."--New York
Post
"A weighty coffee table book that beams readers right into its
cosmic world... pure magic, full of clarity, sharpness and color
that makes readers feel like part of the team--a far cry from those
grainy images that were broadcast on TV at the time."--BookPage
"A masterpiece."--Tim Peake, British ESA Astronaut
"The new book, Apollo Remastered by Andy Saunders shows the Apollo
lunar missions like you have never seen them before. The
illuminating images are simply out of this world."--New
Scientist
"Andy Saunders is a go-to guy for restoring photographs that seem
beyond hope. His new book, Apollo Remastered, reveals what happened
when this British imaging specialist turned his hand to humanity's
ultimate adventure...However much you think you know the Apollo
images, never have they been seen quite like this..."--National
Geographic UK
"Truly epic . . . Some of the scenes you'll recognize; they're
among the most iconic photos ever taken. But others you will not
have seen before; and certainly not in the detail that Andy has
rendered them. They have a crispness and depth that makes you want
to reach out and touch them."--BBC News
"NASA's Moon missions as you've never seen them before - remastered
for a new century."--The Guardian
A peerless photographic masterpiece - almost as audacious as Apollo
itself. If you only buy one Apollo before the decade is out make
sure it's this one! A total treasure to pore over for a
lifetime.--Dr. Chris Riley, BAFTA nominated writer, filmmaker and
co-producer of In The Shadow Of The Moon
Andy Saunders' remastered images leave me stunned. They give me
chills. This is as close as any of us will get to joining the
Apollo astronauts on their historic missions to the moon - and it's
a lot closer than we ever thought possible. This book, like all of
his work, is much more than a thrill to behold; it's a profound
contribution to our understanding of humanity's exploration of the
heavens.--Jeff Shesol, author of Mercury Rising
Andy Saunders's remastered images are so clear and real that they
are the next best thing to being there...They are an exact
representation of what I remember from my journey to the Moon on
Apollo 16. These photos reveal very precisely what the Moon was
really like.--Charlie Duke, Apollo 16
Seeing historians like Andy Saunders produce such cutting-edge
results is incredible. . . Not only has Andy done a remarkable job
bringing more details to light, but his incredible work has also
created a lot of public excitement.--Dr. Brian Odom, acting NASA
Chief Historian
The images Andy Saunders has produced from the 50 year old original
film are just incredible. I have personally checked the images in
the book, and if you want to know what it was really like on the
Apollo missions, then this is for you. The photographs capture the
pioneering era I took part in perfectly, and the techniques Andy
has used have brought out such fantastic detail from that old
original film we took back in the 60s. Maintaining an accurate
record of these historic moments is such important work not just
now, after half a century, but also for future generations.--Walter
Cunningham, Apollo 7
After five decades, it's very rare that something comes along from
Apollo that genuinely surprises me... but this is truly special. It
changes everything, in an instant.--Mark McCaughrean, Senior
Advisor for Science and Exploration, European Space Agency
Andy Saunders' remarkable digital imaging skills are rewriting
space history. Saunders is doing for Project Apollo what the James
Webb Space Telescope has done for astronomy: bringing our greatest
adventure into sharp and arresting focus.--George Leopold, author
of the Supersonic Life & Times Of Gus Grissom
Even though I worked for NASA for 40 years, I can only view the
work Andy does in digital restoration of analog imagery as
innovative, creative, and a gift to the world. The precision, the
detail, and the validity of his work on the old film from early
human spaceflight is breathtaking to me - such incredible valuable
results and contributions to these historic events. --Jim Lewis,
Command Recovery Pilot, Liberty Bell 7
