Has NASA Found the Lost Moon Tapes?

jra writes "For over 5 years, various people both inside and retired from NASA have been engaged in a quest. They were looking for the long-lost original slow-scan video tapes from the Apollo 11 moon landing, which went missing in a record-keeping snafu, covered in unreasonable detail in a Wired article a couple years ago. Well now, according to the UK's Sunday Express newspaper, some tapes may or may not have been found which may or may not be the Apollo video. Apparently — I love the British press — the NASA boffins are a bit put out that it leaked; they were hoping to blow everyone's minds with the scoop themselves."

If someone called ME a boffin, I might be obliged to bandy their knickers a bit.

That's why people call you pervert ;)

and no, a few random spinoff NASA technologies aren't really worth talking about.

Oh yeah, smart guy? What about about Jack Klompus's astronaut pen? It writes upside down...

a "few" random spinoff technologies? Funniest thing I've ever read. Thank you sir!

And quite ironic. Unless he wrote his response on a machine without miniaturised electronics - diesel typewriter perhaps.
