In layman\u2019s terms interpolation involves taking a choppy video, in this case NASA\u2019s 4 frames-per-second video, and rendering the \u201cmissing\u201d frames in between resulting in an incredibly smooth 25 frames-per-second video. This is, I believe, the closest approximation ever of what it might feel like to land on another planet in real time using actual footage. Amazing.
