Tapes containing the original, high-quality transmission of the Apollo 11 moon landing were wiped after being quietly shelved in an unmarked storage area by NASA.
While other recordings of the historic 1969 mission survived, the revelation that at least some moon landing video disappeared has fueled wild conspiracies that NASA has been covering up what astronauts saw or even that the whole mission was faked.
Now, the truth about these 'erased' tapes has been revealed by Tim Dodd, better known as the 'Everyday Astronaut' on YouTube, who said the lost footage was only a set of backup magnetic tapes containing the raw transmission from space.
Dodd explained that the backup tapes were considered by NASA to be less critical since all the essential data, video, and radio signals were successfully transmitted to Houston and broadcast live on TV.
The backup copies of Apollo 11's historic mission were mistakenly taped over when NASA reused older magnetic tapes due to a shortage of those specific film reels in the 1970s and 1980s.
Speaking on the Danny Jones Podcast, Dodd said no one at the time anticipated future technology would be able to upscale or enhance the resolution (upres) of the raw footage for better quality, which is now possible today.
However, NASA still possesses thousands of hours of data proving the first moon landing really took place, including lower-quality versions of telemetry data, audio, and video from Houston's recordings.
Dodd added that the space agency also still has shockingly clear 70 millimeter film from the cameras the Apollo astronauts used on the moon, a grade of film that is still used in IMAX movies 57 years later.

Once up to speed in space, with no resistance, that speed will be maintained until some force changes it. Like retro burns.
People will believe anything.

Where Freepers who where Zotted go to live, where free speech rules.
Sorry I misread what you meant. But the moon landing deniers drive me crazy.
The CCP approves everything in China - and Tibet especially, since they were so reluctant to accept Chinese rule. Source: Asian history.
Mr Magooc scores much better.
Where TDS rules.
Designed for it. Look into temperatures and look into the structural steel for one. Why were the engineers who made it denied access to the rubble? So many problems. Hey, at least we have TSA, NSA, Homeland, etc etc now though, so there’s that.
Perhaps you could give us your version of space navigation. Please include diagrams and some math.
The math is virtually impossible without navigation computers, which we did not have in 1969
If you would have read any of the material I posted to you, you would have seen that the star readings were keyed into the command modules’s navigation computer just for that very reason.
That is not true. You flat earthers are an embarrassment.
I have a theory why the hate and crazy ludicrous lunar landing denial. It’s because white guys accomplished the greatest human endeavor ever and feminists cant stand it.
Fair enough.
Oh come on. Thats sheer ignorance.
Engineers and pilots are smart and cocky people.
There is zero chance they would have gone along with faking.
So amazing people believe this is faked.
I see stories on Auschwitz where some evil people think it was faked .
It’s mental illness to deny these things
I had the privileged experience of handling original 6” x 6” photos from the astronaut’s Hasselblad on the moon. They were with such detail, I bought a Hasselblad 500CM. I wish I could afford a digital back.
