File under “Doh!” … NASA “misplaces” Apoll 11 tapes
Oh boy somebody is going to be kicked around the block and put on space shuttle toilet cleaning duty after the burritos in space mission. From various sources (AP/Seattle Times, Science Blogs…first and update) it seems that the original (read clear, not grainy, etc) tapes of the first moon landing are, um, missing. NASA says, not lost, just they don’t know where they are right now. Maybe at the Goddard Space Center, maybe with all those socks that go missing from the dryer, maybe with Jimmy Hoffa, or all the remotes lost in the world. Who knows, but, man oh man I wouldn’t be the one who has to look for them. I heard this on the news last night and you want to hear NASA’s explanation? Staff turnover and poor record keeping. Guess so.
