Unlike Ranger spacecraft, or the Surveyor that made a soft landing and televised relatively coarse pictures directly to earth, Orbiter focused the images from its medium and high-resolution lenses onto a fine-grain strip of film. After each section of the film was exposed, it was passed over a drum and pressed against a web treated with chemicals that developed it. After drying, the negative was scanned electronically, one narrow (one-tenth of an inch) strip at a time. Because each strip was electronically divided into 17,000 horizontal lines...

...undertaken to preserve this heroic figure as he always preserves a heroic figure: by embalming it in marmalade. In the new movie, one of the great fighting Irishmen is transformed into a priggish Prince Valiant and his complex politico-military career made into the sort of primary-colored comic strip that parents consider safe and children consider dull...
