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."
It's government.
It doesn't need to make sense. Like that recent Slashhot article about the 2009 Stimulus Bill sending money to Africa to teach men how to wash their penises. Sure it stimulates the economy, but it's AFRICA'S economy that is being stimulated. How about spending that American money in the American homeland, and showing that American moon landing on American soil. Duh.
