Apollo Remastered

Well it's a thinly veiled ad... and you can't really easily get digital copies - which somehow feels weird/wrong for space stuff. You typically can get that in full resolution directly from NASA.

Is the web interface representative of the final quality?

Just looking at an example: https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop/p/as15-82-11056-to-110...

Even mildly zoomed in the image looks quite crummy and blurry. Fine for a postcard, but not to hang on you wall

It's also a bit weird that some dude manages to somehow get semi-exclusive access to photos made by the US gov't and can then charge hundreds of pounds for them

I believe all of the new scans are available here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/albums

And best of all, like other works of the US government, it's public domain!

Is it? It's definitely not made immediately clear on their website: https://www.apolloremastered.com/the-project

Why are they on flickr and not NASA.gov as usual?

Those date from 2019, so clearly not. The quality of the few I sampled is also nothing special.
