Unseen Moon Landing Video Released

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."

    On a (somewhat more) serious note: man went to the Moon ONCE, and it was a freaking big deal because of the Cold War. How the heck did NASA manage to lose the original recording? Wouldn't even a half intelligent person figure they'd need to be protected in a double vault or something?
