NASA to Digitize its 50 Years of Photos and Films

Lucas123 writes "Putting the images and film online will allow NASA to more easily share and showcase its achievements, including photos from its Mars rover missions and from its manned and unmanned voyages to the Moon and beyond, according to Computerworld's Todd Weiss. Much of NASA's archived photos and film is currently divided up into more than 20 different imagery categories, making it hard to find specific images or archives unless a user knows exactly where it is. "Much of what is in the collection may be surprising when it is released," according to NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs."

Re:Saturn V blueprints?

[niteice]

I don't suppose the Russian government still has the blueprints for the N-1 lying around

Maybe they do, but how are we supposed to replicate its shoddy construction and ensuing ability to explode at random moments?

Digitizing makes it easier to lose

[alcmaeon]

This should make it much easier for NASA to lose priceless historical data than having to lose hundreds of physical tapes. Losing all data will be just a reformat away now. They just have to remember to not back up which shouldn't be too hard.
