Let’s do a little NASA math.

Take (1) Hasselblad on the moon strapped to the chest of an astroNOT.
Spend under 3hrs walking on the moon.
Take 1409 pictures changing film 20 times.

That’s 1409/3≈470

That’s almost 8 pictures every minute.

Don’t believe me? Follow along.

Meet the Hasselblad Data Camera (HDC) with Réseau plate, fitted with a Zeiss Biogon 60mm ƒ/5.6 lens. It was adapted for NASA to take 70 pictures per cartridge of film instead of the usual 12. Imagine how fun it was to change film cartridges in a “spacesuit”.

They took 1409 pictures in roughly 3 hours. 1408 usable. Take a look through your photos on your phone.

How many out of 1409 are clear, historical images.

Keep in mind you are looking at the screen while taking those not having it strapped to your chest with no view finder.

1408 “USABLE” Pictures in 3 hours.

Do you honestly believe this? No view finder, in a space suit, no focus or aperture adjustments, in extreme temps and they took 8 historical photos every minute? Also how did they bend to get those photos of their feet with a chest cam?

BONUS POST FOR GLOBIE SHILLS

Even if you count the 21.5hrs total including sleeping and being in the LM, that is still more than 1 clear, historical photo per minute. To believe that you need a leap of faith. Congrats you’re officially a member of the church of NASA. Bow down.
