Wikipedia on Hubble and ISS:
The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit (333-336 miles) in 1990 and remains in operation.
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit (253-255 miles). Its first component was launched into orbit in 1998, with the first long-term residents arriving in November 2000.[7] It has been inhabited continuously since that date.

Wikipedia on the Missing tapes from Apollo 11:
The Apollo 11 missing tapes were those that were recorded from Apollo 11’s slow-scan television (SSTV) telecast in its raw format on telemetry data tape at the time of the first Moon landing in 1969 and subsequently lost. The data tapes were recorded as a backup in case the live television broadcasts failed for any reason... In the early 1980s, NASA’s Landsat program was facing a severe data tape shortage and it is likely the tapes were erased and reused at this time.[2]

Wait...did you actually look at why the live video feed from the moon was the way it was? The website was quite complete. Do you agree with it? ANd what about the hi res images actually carried back to earth?
