You can process Kodachrome at home as a color film, but not likely with
success, roll after roll. It requires extremely precise time and temperature
control because it only works if the developer diffuses a very precise
distance into the emulsion,

That was the earlier Kodachrome color development process. Probably
just in the 1930s. The later process was a conventional color
coupling development and was a great improvement in many areas.

and no farther, before it is neutralized, and it
must do this three separate times. I suspect making a rocket would be a lot
easier.

I have to express admiration for both. Processing Kodachrome preceded
the moon landings, so, perhaps Rocket Science is somewhat harder. ;-/

By the way, did you know Kodachrome was invented by two musicians?

Simply NOT true. Just read the continued thread below. There have been
several people in the past that did it at home, and without the automation
you presume.

It is difficult, but not "rocket science". So, do some research before
you
just spout off such absolutes!

I think that would depend upon the size of one's home and wallet!
There's always a way, or it couldn't be done anywhere else.

No, the machinery is extremely expensive and it requires several highly
trained people to run it. YOU CANNOT PROCESS KODACHROME AT HOME!!!
