The tapes are no doubt in storage somewhere, but they've been written over with Landsat telemetry.

So somebody decided that Landsat tapes were more important than Apollo tapes and who could that be?
Richard Nafzger, Michael Collins or Noel W. Hinners?
They built archives for the Apollo missions and we are to believe the couldn't store these tapes.
We are also to believe that NASA became so broke they had to recycle the tapes.
We are also to believe that the data on these tapes was not considered important for scientists to study?
Its quite frankly a bunch of bologna.

Jarrah has already addressed all the major scientific objections to Apollo: He has addressed the moon rocks, the radiation, he has addressed the photos and the flapping flags.
We wanted to keep our three names off it because we wanted the design to be representative of everyone who had worked toward a lunar landing, and there were thousands who could take a proprietary interest in it, yet who would never see their names woven into the fabric of a patch. Further, we wanted the design to be symbolic rather than explicit.
Anyway, we said, 'Why put names on it?' We decided to eliminate the names and instead put in the Latin 'Ex Luna, Scientia' or 'From the Moon, Knowledge.' I plagiarized this somewhat because it is similar to the Naval Academy 'Ex trident, scientia' which is 'From the sea, knowledge.'"
It is an interesting coincidence that, aside from Apollo 11, this was the only flight of the Apollo series (including Skylab and ASTP) that did not include the names of the crewmembers on the patch -- and that this was the only flight to have a change in crew.

I asked the question, what makes the Apollo 11 patch different than the other lunar landing Apollo patches?

Apollo 13 was supposed to be the first "scientific" mission.
To bad that failed.

Very interesting indeed.
Could one postulate that the Apollo 11 crew, in silent protest, kept their names off due to the fact they knew it was fake? And that the Apollo 13 crew, who actually knew in their storyline that they were not going to officially land, kept their names off in protest?

And he has been shown to be wrong every time.
Even the claim that JW lies has been squashed.

True or false: Jarrah White claimed that Kovalev's data contradicted NASA's.
True or false: Kovalev's data supported NASA's.

Squash away.
Scientists are free to disagree about interpretations of data so what's the problem?
Apollogists can be productive in this thread by providing:
1. sourced links to videos of Apollo astronauts post-flight press conferences for missions A12-A17.
2. a compelling scientific justification for the 5 counts of animal cruelty in Biosat III experiment.
3. data which refutes Jarrah White's conclusions that Apollo moon rocks contain water & minerals showing that Apollo moon rocks are indistinguishable from terrestrial counterparts. I highly recommend that Apollogists review this series ...
MoonFaker: Moon Rocks Revisited. Episode 2, Apollo Samples & Earth Rocks Are The Same. PART 1.
A study in the journal Nature, based on a new analysis of a lunar rock brought back to Earth in 1972 by Apollo 16 astronauts, indicates that the moon could be a more youthful 4.36 billion years old — and that the process by which it was formed happened later than scientists thought. Or possibly this lunar rock, part of the moon's crust, isn't exactly what scientists thought it was. Maybe the crust wasn't formed by a magma ocean after all. "And that's a big deal," said Lars Borg, the lead author of the study and a geochemist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Although not a done deal. Scientists will keep studying and debating this. "I'm running a lunar sample on the mass spectrometer as we speak," noted Borg.
But the beauty of science is how it embraces redefinition, even if it's disconcerting. And these days, a scientist rarely risks being brought to trial for it — as Galileo was. They must just weather debate. "In science, nothing is ever taken to be absolute truth," said Borg.

Originally posted by smurfySlightly off topic, but not completely, has anyone been using their Google Earth/Moon? I've just noticed that it has nasa/usgs/jaxa/selene layers on it now. There are some very clear pics around Titov, but it's difficult to home into any area in particular. I'm assuming it is some kind of alpha version, as there are cliches when you zoom in with white pixels popping up in dark areas of craters. It's not finer detail showing up, one crater has a flying 'V' inside it with perfect symmetry. Any Ideas?
Some sources have claimed that Gagarin commented during the flight, "I don't see any God up here." However, no such words appear in the verbatim record of his conversations with Earth-based stations during the spaceflight.[17] In a 2006 interview, Gagarin's friend Colonel Valentin Petrov stated that the cosmonaut never said such words, and that the quote originated from Nikita Khrushchev's speech at the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU about the state's anti-religion campaign, saying "Gagarin flew into space, but didn't see any god there."

Researches have been looking at the same fake moon rocks for 40 years now. That's why recently lunar scientists have been campaigning for new sample return missions - a task which is far beyond NASA's current technological capabilities.
The last statement by Lars Borg says it all:

Entirely beside the point: Kovalev's data agreed with NASA's. Jarrah claimed otherwise. He lied. How about this one:
True or false: Jarrah claims that the radiation in space is lethal, therefore no-one can travel to the Moon.
True or false: Jarrah is soliciting donations so that he can take a commercial flight to the Moon.
Which is it? Does he not believe the radiation is lethal, or is he soliciting money under false pretenses?
