It is indeed a sad day, when you loose your own historic film capturing one of mankinds greatest acheivements. Why wasn't this film under say the Smithonians care or something. Instead of floating around NASA storage rooms?

But just 37 years after Apollo 11, it is feared the magnetic tapes that recorded the first moon walk - beamed to the world via three tracking stations, including Parkes's famous "Dish" - have gone missing at NASA's Goddard Space Centre in Maryland.

A desperate search has begun amid concerns the tapes will disintegrate to dust before they can be found.

It is not widely known that the Apollo 11 television broadcast from the moon was a high-quality transmission, far sharper than the blurry version relayed instantly to the world on that July day in 1969.

What will these clowns do next.


I do not believe this is the same tape they are talking about. This looks to just be an audio tape and the article is some years old, from 2001. This recent issue is an entirely different thing.
