It really is a sin and a shame that IMAX didn't exist quite early enough
to film a Saturn V launch...


Ayuh...

Except that IMAX was founded in 1967. The IMAX prototype was on public
display at Expo '67 in Montreal. Tiger Child premiered in Japan in 1970.
So IMAX was available during the all too brief time when we could walk
on the moon.

Heck, Cinerama was available in the early 1950s. Yet no one even tried
to use this roughly (then) 20 year old technology to docunent a launch
to the moon. (Atomic Bombs, Si! Moon walks, Non!)
