I'm guessing that the missing film is the private souvenier of somebody on the taxpayer's gravy train.

a CSIRO scientist stationed at Parkes for a decade. "We are working on the assumption they still exist," Mr Sarkissian told the Herald. They made a really good movie about the guys at Parkes, Australia during the moon landing. I think it was called "The Dish".

Originally stored at Goddard, the tapes were moved in 1970 to the US National Archives. No one knows why, but in 1984 about 700 boxes of space flight tapes there were returned to Goddard.

"It is not widely known that the Apollo 11 television broadcast from the moon was a high-quality transmission, far sharper than the blurry version relayed instantly to the world on that July day in 1969."
That is a great story. 4 years were spent by some of the best minds around building a tv camera to withstand the rigors of space and landing on the moon. What those engineers forgot to take into account was their camera being compatible with the tv transmission technology of 1969. It turns out the moon camera WAS NOT compatible. Live transmissions could not be transmitted over the airwaves into the homes of those watching. It was ONLY realized as those wonderful pictures were being watched at Mission Control. Live television only received static. One of the REAL smart engineers ran down the hall and grabbed a regular tv camera an tripod and set it up in front of the Mission Control monitor screen. That is what we all saw on that July evening in 1969. A picture of a picture!!!

Great. NASA wants billions of dollars to find life on other planets and they can't even find the stupid moon tapes.
