Hoagland covered this already, on the Art Bell Show. It should not come as a surprise that when a program is cancelled much will be lost.

Didn't the government lose Einstein's brain at one point? We trust these clowns to keep track of illegal aliens and terrorists? It's only luck that lets them keep track of Ted Kennedy, and he's such a tub of guts he's got his own gravity.

To: RadioAstronomer; KevinDavis; holden
Do I have it right that Spacecraft Films had access to the tapes in question? Might this be a case of a failure to record the checkout? Have I stumbled over an obvious answer that is being overlooked? Do you have any contacts who can check this out?
BTW, I like holden's caution in #30. Looks like the old analog vs digital question will never be settled, but for good reason.

Art Bell should check into this! Did they really land on the Moon?
To: oxcart
But the searchers may be running out of time. The only known equipment on which the original analogue tapes can be decoded is at a Goddard centre set to close in October, raising fears that even if they are found before they deteriorate, copying them may be impossible They loose the tapes. Now they are in a panic to find them because they are about to discard the only equipment that can decode them? Is this some kind of joke?

You mean to tell me that not one of these rocket scientists thought about transferring the images to some optical medium?
To: Smedley
I do think that its highly probably that some NASA career "manager" had the tapes in a file cabinet for 20-30 years, then threw them away when he retired. Or they ended up in his attic. I predict they'll show up on the "Antiques Road Show" in a few years.

Exactly nine months after the Roswell UFO incident ... Al Gore was born.
Now look at him!
Is this trully proof of Global Laming? or is Algae simply..

Obviously because the tapes never existed and the moon walk never happened.
I knew it would all come together!
