Do you support GoPro videos (h265)? I have played around on the same concept but the lack of .mov support (iPhone) and mp4+h265 (gopro) is kind of a bummer for Chrome users.

I was wondering the same.

This project was the subject of a WWDC lunch session in 2009 I believe. One of the best I have seen.

There was so much more content in the WWDC presentation, I wished they had filmed lunch sessions at the time:

- It was not only moon orbiter pictures but also stuff from the apollo missions

- The analog pictures were actually transmitted over radio with an analog process (converting black and white in frequencies)

- This signal was then digitized and used to recreate images on the ground

- What they use (at least what they showed 4 yers ago) is the raw sound files that were recorded. Of course this is much better than the recreated on the ground images because you are one step closer to the source.

- They first had to find a way to read those files on tapes. They actually called this presentation "data archeology" because of this. Had to find tape readers, get them back to work, etc.

- Using DSP processing they were able to significantly improve the quality of the reconstruction process, dealing with mechanical problems on the space side (like the film were moving on a roll which speed was not perfectly constant)

- One of the most interesting result was an image reconstructed in 2000s compared to the original image. Turned out to be one of the first picture of earth poles (and ice cap). Extremely useful today.

Enjoy!

I built this over the last few weeks with Meteor (JS framework) and I would love to know what you guys think! If you have a Raspberry Pi, how often do you use it? Do you think a web ide like pijs.io would help you use it more often?

1. Great question. Would be a great new example. It would look something like:

var ddp = require('ddp').new({ 'host': 'yourapp.meteor.com', 'port': 80 }); ddp.connect(function() { ddp.call("a-method", [ params ] });

And I guess that's about it ;) You might want to add a setInterval() to make sure this gets run regularly.

2. Unfortunately I am out of the bay area for a few months. Will be back in september and would love to meet! Until then, we have hn comments ;)

Hey - I wrote pijs.io and would be happy to answer any questions or read your comments. Feel free to post in the comments!
