I say we should go back.

[Pravious]

I’ll second that.

[I still care]

I can tell you here in FL they are none too happy with the space program being nixed.

Obama has no idea how much he is going to lose here, or perhaps he does. The Space program is a place of personal pride to FL - it is a unique and special industry that reminds Floridians we do have some high tech industries.

How incompetent to you have to be to “lose” original footage of man’s very first walk on the moon? You would think that would have been treated like the Crown Jewels. Just more evidence of the efficiency and care of government.

[BallyBill]

Great! Now we need an English translation.

I say we should go back, and get the flag that supposedly was left,....half of the world doubts that the USA ever arrived on the Moon.

[Yo-Yo]

The video from the moon was Slow Scan Television (SSTV) at 10 frames per second, and 320 lines of video.

US Broadcast television (NTSC) is 29.97 frames per second, with 525 lines of video.

The video from the moon when through a very crude scan converter before it could be aired on US television. That is why the video we know is so crappy looking.

These “lost” films are 8mm home movies of the SSTV monitor at the Australia tracking station before it was scan converted to NTSC. Hence they look sharper, with more detail, than the crappy 1969 era scan conversion looks.

It says a lot when shooting 8mm home movies off of a televison screen is considered “good.”

The space program brings pride to real Americans, American pride is definitely NOT part of the Obama/Soros agenda, quite the opposite.

[Dallas59]

Just simply amazing that it was lost at all. Apparently NASA didn’t gave a hoot.

There was a great family film that came out in 200 about Australia’s connection to the Moon Landing... check it out...

Of course. Bush said we were going back but Jarjar Obama scrapped the budget. The footage is far superior than what NASA currently shows us.

[dr_who]

I say we put Obama and Pelosi on the moon and leave them there.

[Revolting cat!]

Outtakes from the footage my long retired sworn to secrecy cousin took at the legendary Burbank studio that once had hosted the silver screen legends like Edna Purveyance, Fatty Arbuckle and Harold Lloyd.

Thank God there was an Aussie cameraman on the moon!

My dad worked at NASA/JSC during the moon shots, I had friends and went to school with kids whose fathers went to the moon. I have absolutely no doubt our astronauts went there and have great respect for the people that actually did the work - BUT - if NASA's mission is to now promote Moslems and global warming climate change disruption, let NASA die.

I say we should go back.

So do I.

It breaks my heart that our nation didn't continue to fund the lunar exploration program. What's sadder still, is that we may have even lost the manufacturing capability to return there today.

I say we should go back.

I agree.

When I was young I lived in a country that could land a man on the moon. Sadly I now live in a country that will soon have to pay the Russians for a ride to low earth orbit in one of their spacecraft to visit a space station that we largely paid for.

I was a young lad with hormones working overtime when this happened. I was soooo hoping for Moon Maidens. All we got was gray dust and rocks .

[Lazlo in PA]

What’s this? We made it to the moon?
