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.
But this begs the question - can anyone at NASA do the moonwalk convincingly?
Impetuous minds want to know.
It's boffn, not boffin! Did you miss the whole Web 2.0 thing.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
