You know, they <i>did</i> have color photography in 1972. Untrusting bastards. :)

Here's a despription of the cameras they brought with them. And here's a little write up on the problems they had with the color film they brought to the moon. Apparently color works differently in the vacuum of space, and the film was washed with certain colors that just weren't there in real life. Looks like they photoshopped the pics in order to eliminate the rouge colors. Still, it's not as if they added colors.

BTW - if you really want chills, check out some of the videos from apolloarchive.com. Really amazing stuff.
