Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]NPR: [URL=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106637066]Houston, We Erased The Apollo 11 Tapes[/URL] <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]An exhaustive, three-year search for some tapes that contained the original footage of the Apollo 11 moonwalk has concluded that they were probably destroyed during a period when NASA was erasing old magnetic tapes and reusing them to record satellite data. "We're all saddened that they're not there. We all wish we had 20-20 hindsight," says Dick Nafzger, a TV specialist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, who helped lead the search team. "I don't think anyone in the NASA organization did anything wrong," Nafzger says. "I think it slipped through the cracks, and nobody's happy about it." NASA has, however, offered up a consolation prize for the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission -- the agency has taken the best available broadcast television footage and contracted with a digital restoration firm to enhance it, so that the public can see the first moonwalk in more detail than ever before.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
