Digital scans of Apollo flight film images (Metric, Panoramic, ALSCC, 70mm Hasselblad, 35mm Nikon and Stellar) in their raw (unprocessed) form are in the public domain

Well the Apollo negatives were always under CIA control and they still are.
ASU has agreements with NASA for some level of exclusive access to the Apollo negatives.
It's also clear that the president of ASU is a former executive from In-Q-Tel, a known CIA front.
But what's not clear to me. Does ASU perform the scanning in situ at the facility where the negatives have been kept on lock down for 43 years,

Was some discussion about this I remember in an older thread, so I think it's easier to link off to it than repeat myself too much since we've discussed that before.

Nah. Aesthetic.
They are performing an Orwellian operation on the Apollo images.
What nefarious reason can you come up with? But let's just forget about all the images with the marks on them that are all over the internet. And let's just forget about of the descriptions of the marks and how and why they are there, all over the internet.
How many good arguments could you make in support of NASA's removal of reseau pattern marks from the Apollo images? One? Is NASA doing this for all mankind?

NASA test is looking up for asteroids

"This is a technology demonstration that could help us identify some of those objects," said NASA Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot -- the agency's highest ranked civil servant.
They transmit a high-power, higher resolution radar signal that promises to be more flexible, and more precise, than current NASA dishes that are oversubscribed.
NASA's 230-foot Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif., is a great asset for staring at small swaths of sky, but it is used to downlink data from hundreds of operating satellites every day.
Seibert and NASA project manager Michael Miller say that if testing goes well, and their system is scaled up, they might be able to create a high-power, high-resolution radar system that could be on an asteroid hunt 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They could operate a system singularly devoted to an asteroid early-warning system focused on asteroid detection, characterization and tracking.

So tell us again.
What is nefarious about rescanning the negatives and editing out the marks (while telling us they are doing so)?

Your data is lacking. In-Q-Tel is not a "CIA Front," it's the venture capital arm of the CIA, no deception. Over the years I've meet several people in technology who have either worked as an advisor to In-Q-Tel, or who have had businesses funded by In-Q-Tel. They generally tend to be exceptional people who are working hard to push technology forward.

Just the images taken from orbit. Why is it bad to utilize modern technology to digitally improve and preserve old film negatives that have a limited life span of both quality and viability?
