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."
Yes that was the plan all along :
1. Announce a fake moon landing backed by low quality footage
2. With the help of Intel and IBM (they're part of the conspiracy too, you need to look at the bigger picture dude), improve computers for 40 years until they're capable of generating photorealistic renderings of anything
3. Release a HD version of the same fake footage 40 years later
4. ???
5. Profit!
You just got troll'd!
That's the account where Columbus came from New Jersey - in other words, it's bollocks.
As usual, the US inferiority complex stealing from other peoples history and legend to create their own.
