(See Apollo 13) The signal was converted to NTSC on the ground. Rapid movement produces color artifacts. That would be a nice effect in a music video or SciFi show. (Never saw it myself, but supposedly the motion picture "West Side Story" used an optical effect that de-synchronised the colors in one of the musical numbers. Maria's dress?) PS: LSD does this too.

Except my 52" DLP HDTV does it just a wee-bit better.
