NASA Aeronautics And Space Reports were frequently published updates on work at NASA, future missions and progress on science being conducted in space.
I've collected several of these 16mm reels and with the help of the Dutch Tivoli Observatory and Patreons can get them digitized.
These old films often have colour casts that I have to restore before uploading the films to YouTube. This takes approximately 2 weeks per film. Here is the first of my reels, more will follow.

Great job! It is fascinating looking FORWARD to Apollo 17 in this film, but from the perspective of 48 years AFTER the mission.
I loved the description of the planned 2nd EVA at Taurus-Littrow: "...they will travel to the farthest point, almost 5 miles from the LM, and up a 300-foot cliff...." That reminds me of a newspaper clipping I have from 1969, looking forward to Conrad and Bean descending into Surveyor Crater. The report is headed: "Moon men face cliff climb" and even suggests they would use climbing ropes in their descent.
