I would hope that they used b&w film along with color, since the debate
over the longevity of either continues.  They used Kodak slide film for
the color pictures, didn't they?  I always remember the National Geographic
captions -- instead of "photos by NASA" they would individually credit
each photo:  "Ektachrome by Charles "Pete" Conrad" or something like that.

Gee, this is getting away from the subject line, isn't it?
