If it had been done by the British it probably would have been more
accurate as they are sticklers for that sort of thing. I am too, its
just as easy to get it right as get it wrong. And don't be afraid of
still photographs documentary makers... if you have viewers that are
still watching after 10 minutes, its a fair chance they really care
about space travel and aren't asking everyone in the room, When does
the next Shuttle go to the moon honey?" Treat people like morons is
not the way to endear viewers to you. Neither is charging for drinks
on a airline flight USAir.. *******s.

then Gene Kranz was talking about watching Grissom's Mercury recovery
on TV. Perhaps it was recorded or watched on a NASA loop but I don't
recall seeing any video as it happened.

"In December, 1965, the recovery of a manned space flight was shown live
for the first time when the twin missions of Gemini 7 and 6 (the first
two manned spacecraft to make a rendezvous--or meeting--in orbit)
splashed down 48 hours apart. While neither capsule splashed down close
enough to the carrier U. S. S. Wasp to have the actual splashdown shown,

Later flights had RF link and cameras in the recovery birds, but I'm
not sure when that started.
