Unseen Moon Landing Video Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nice-soundstage dept.

bazzalunatic writes "Digitally remastered footage of the moon landing, including high-quality and brighter images of Neil Armstrong stepping off the ladder will be shown for the first time ever to the general public at an awards ceremony in Sydney, Australia. The magnetic data tapes seem to have all been lost — erased — by NASA, so all that's left are VHS recordings, which have been restored, giving the best-ever film of the whole moon landing. The publicity over this seems to be pushing NASA into releasing the whole 3-hour recording."

    Oh you romantic old fools. There is no place for humans in space. Yes, the Space Race was daring, but ultimately it takes too much energy, too much technology, and unlike a football touchdown, there's nothing out there. No air, no water, no gravity, all things we need.

    Just like not all people are built to play football, well, no human is built for space. We can send probes and satellites, but that's it. Nothing has happened in space because space is useless. Get over it. If anyone is playing old tapes over and over, it's the Space Nutters.

    You are still young, yet you pine for 40 year old dreams. There are TONS of things to do RIGHT HERE. Life extension, for one.

    If we ever do go back to space, well, it's FUCKING HUGE. We don't live long enough for it!
