Apollo 16 Lunar Mission Footage Upscaled To 4K 60 FPS is pretty amazing
Check this Apollo 16 Rover Traverse to Station 4 16mm footage interpolated from 12fps to 60fps with DAIN-AI. Colour corrected and synchronized with audio. This YouTuber took the 16 mm footage shot on the moon back in 1972 and through the magic of artificial intelligence made the quality look like you were right there with them.

It's pretty funny that a computer game these days could produce better moon footage, rendered real time, than authentic recordings from the heydays of the space race.

Game looks boring, no explosions, no aliens, boring dialog. Not sure about lighting, not enough lens flare, also ground textures looked a bit flat and I thought the shiny reflective thing at the front was a bit ott.

For all those commenting about how bad the footage is... I'm sure your handy-cams back in the 60s were much better.
... oh wait.

Before the the proof reader police start with their smarter than thou nonsense, no Apollo 16 did not go to Mars. Yeah it's an error get over it. Moving on....What I find amazing is no one comments on how we actually, yes we did there is equipment on the moon that is still being used to measure the moon pulling away from the earth, went to the moon 50 something years ago! They should have made a split screen side by side with the original footage so you could appreciate the upscaling.

It is not bad, but it is not that much better than motion vector being cut in 5 parts to produce fluid image. They just take 2 consecutive (original) motion vectors and turn them into spline before cutting.
Image is not really 4K. More like 960x640 as no IQ is lost between 1080p and 720p, but there is some loss of IQ going 480p. It is nice for given resolution nonetheless.
