NASA’s First Time-Lapses

We’ve grown to love the peaceful beauty of NASA’s time-lapse videos. Some of us, me included, are certifiably addicted to the dramatic orbital imagery, the stellar art and the emotional music.

But NASA has been collecting orbital photography since the early 1960’s, starting with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Here’s some of the first images of NASA’s space program, converted to time-lapse.

A fine addition to the space history books.
