Right now this page looks like an advertisement for the new DVD release of this film. The first external link is for a site selling the DVD, and the others point toward favorable reviews and news items. I love this film, but I wonder if this page was written by people with a sales interest in the DVD that's coming out soon.

I really want to know why this entire film isn't in the public domain. Or is it? According to this page, NASA commissioned the work and the American taxpayers paid for it. NASA products, as well as the products of all US government entities, are supposed to be in the public domain. DVD movies in the public domain cost $.89 at Wal Mart. Am I missing something?

It appears that it is in the public domain - the entire film is available on archive.org, here: http://archive.org/details/gov.archives.arc.1257628. 86.7.23.104 (talk) 01:48, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims that Moonwalk One was the last film to be printed using the imbibation process, yet I'm sure I read an article about the Star Wars DVDs which claimed that an imbibation print of the original Star Wars (aka Episode IV) (1977) was used as a color reference.

The article also states that the film was released at 4:3, but gives no explanation as to why 16:9 was chosen for the DVD release. Lee M (talk) 14:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the previous comment was made before I'd viewed disc 2... the 2-disc DVD features both cropped 16:9 and original 4:3 versions. I've now viewed both, and while the 16:9 version has been carefully prepared, the 4:3 wins hands down whenever a shot has strong vertical elements, and what could be more relentlessly vertical than a Saturn V?
