::::A ''simulation'' is not genuine or real; being an imitation of the genuine article.  What the Wired article describes is not a simulation, but a broadcast of the event that involved a conversion of video formats in the process where image quality was lost.  I'd suggest replacing "a simulated broadcast" with "live, low-resolution video" to resolve the confusion.  It also removes the redundant use of "broadcast". --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:00, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:::: the article explains that the image was converted from a slow-scan image (smaller image and 10 frames per second) to broadcast standard because of limits on the bandwidth available from the moon. The word ''simulated'' is used but appears to relate to some initial testing of the process to be used. perhaps '''reformatted''' would better describe the broadcast ?

::::: "Reformatted" is jargon inappropriate for a history class.  "Simulcast" is something different entirely.  The article uses the word "simulated".  I welcome other suggested improvements on that term as used by the technical source.  Additional credible sources would also be welcome.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:17, 3 December 2008 (EST)
