[NASA's lead audio engineer John] [i]Stoll said he and other NASA employees in Houston, Texas, are in the process of digitizing NASA's entire audio collection, most of which is on old-fashioned tape. The older tapes, like the ones from Apollo missions, are in great condition and are kept under strict environmental controls, he said. But newer tapes, like those from the 1980s, tend to gum up reel players. He has to heat those tapes to 130 degrees with a small oven before he can play them. All of that work will soon culminate in a public Web site where people can listen to NASA audio from many other U.S. space missions.[/i]
