I don't know if this is fer real, but I heard tell that on the
early Mariner missions to the local planets that the digital
images would be run out on a line printer, with numbers 
corresponding to the luminance of each pixel.
Then they would tape the printouts on the walls in the corridors
along with a set of gray scale chalks. Anyone with a few minutes to
waste would hang out and fill in some pixels.
Amazing, huh?
