VIDEO: Houston news videos from AP's archives

NASA, Howard Hughes, Enron and more old news videos of Houston from the Associated Press (AP) archives


Last June, I posted videos from the 1940s to the 1960s of Houston, the Astrodome, The Texas Medical Center and NASA from newsreel service British Pathé.

And now we get some more historic Houston news videos. The Associated Press just posted one million minutes of historical video dating back to 1895 in cooperation with British Movietone on YouTube.

Here are some Houston highlights.

NASA has designed a special suit for a young boy who has to be kept in germ free environment and he is testing the suit in Houston Children Hospital.
