NASA lost original tape of moon landing

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government has misplaced the original recording of the first moon landing, including astronaut Neil Armstrong's famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," a NASA spokesman said on Monday.

Armstrong's famous space walk, seen by millions of viewers on July 20, 1969, is among transmissions that NASA has failed to turn up in a year of searching, spokesman Grey Hautaloma said.

"We haven't seen them for quite a while. We've been looking for over a year and they haven't turned up," Hautaloma said.

The tapes also contain data about the health of the astronauts and the condition of the spacecraft. In all, some 700 boxes of transmissions from the Apollo lunar missions are missing, he said.

"I wouldn't say we're worried -- we've got all the data. Everything on the tapes we have in one form or another," Hautaloma said.

NASA has retained copies of the television broadcasts and offers several clips on its Web site.

But those images are of lower quality than the originals stored on the missing magnetic tapes.

Because NASA's equipment was not compatible with TV technology of the day, the original transmissions had to be displayed on a monitor and re-shot by a TV camera for broadcast.

Hautaloma said it is possible the tapes will be unplayable even if they are found, because they have degraded significantly over the years -- a problem common to magnetic tape and other types of recordable media.

The material was held by the National Archives but returned to NASA sometime in the late 1970s, he said.

"We're looking for paperwork to see where they last were," he said.

This proves that the whole moon-landing-thing was a hoax done by the Jewish producers in Hollywood to defeat the Russian communists.

But seriously, how does this go missing for over a year? I think I have better indexing of my bootleg movies. Maybe it's in there somewhere, let me take another look...

All this is going to do is cause more people to think/agree to the "rumors" of a fake landing. Honestly, how do you lose something as amazingly important (Not to mention 700 boxes in size) as that?

You don't.

No its not fake, people just want attention. Its the same as the 9/11 thing, blaming it on the government. Thats just stupid.

It doesn't have to be fake or not, nobody really knows except for Neil Armstrong.

The fact is you don't lose 700 boxes worth of American history.

Im also a non believer of the whole moon landing thing.. There have been several shows about this and alot of evidence is out there.. We just made something up so that we could say we did it before the russians did.

Landing on the moon would be impossible enough in 1969..Being able to then have enough technology to rocket them back to the earth is even more ridiculous...Especially at that time with that technology. It was all made up.
