Video technology was not nearly as advanced as now back then, and the ability to transmit and receive high definition video or dense data from orbit did not exist yet.
So those crude looking videos transmitted from space were in fact state of the art for the day. A lot of ordinary local TV news was not much better. I well remember the landing on the moon in 1969. I used to watch on Black and White TV all the launches and recoveries.
Was the moon landing real or faked?
