Wow .....this is fantastic. Reminds me of the the TIME magazine cover, circa ‘05, G..W. Bush’s face made up, of every U.S. death in Iraq, ( to that date).

50 years ago today.......an incredible feat of engineering for the era and all the more remarkable to accomplish it in a very short time.

@bod101 ,
Hi, how was the photo done? I presume it’s all done on a mainframe or a LAN system. My question really is...
I guess the image is chosen and then the computer(s) does most of the work but does it need human correction or tweaking? and if so, how much? How long did it take?
Thanks.

We use Microsoft deep zoom technology. There is some tweaking then a load of rendering. The rendering takes a fair bit of time.

I think I've seen him suggest that he did say "a" man but it got lost. He did have a lot to think about though,

Recently, with new technologies they realized that he did say the ‘a’ ......the transmission hid it.
