NASA loses original videotape of first moon l
FPF-intro + Staff and Wire Reports - 16.08.2006 07:45
When too many journalists, researchers and other curious people insisted on seeing the original NASA films, more and more requests came in under the 'Freedom of Information Act' to force NASA to show the original material. The answer now is: the originals are lost.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS LOST THE ORIGINAL RECORDING OF THE FIRST MOON LANDING
FPF - August 16, 2006 - The situation for some people at NASA and others apparently became very difficult.There had to be found a solution at NASA concerning the questions about the original tapes of the first lunar landing. So - like in many similar cases before - the usual is said: "The films are lost." Hoping the nagging and investigating will stop.
It must be feared however, that the amount of requests for information and global curiosity in relation to the lunar landing will grow after this statement by NASA. It has nothing to do with some form of ''conspiracy theory'' - the usual lowbrow phrase to kill debates. Even if there are thousands upon thousands of criminal ENRON, PNAC or 9/11-like conspiracies - it's not a theory, but only a matter of not having certain facts yet.
Just one example of governemental and criminal conspiracy: in 1995 a photo/film laboratory of the military secret service (MID) in The Netherlands, in an official statement said that the films and pictures Dutch soldiers had made of the mass executions and other war crimes at Srebrenica in former Yugoslavia, were lost or spoiled. Dutch and other NATO war crimes, also in the Balkan, were - and still are - covered up. But even dutch ex-PM and 'sell out' Wim Kok had to explain in court about their and US/NATO's war crimes. He and his co-criminals are not in jail, yet. - Url.:  http://tinyurl.com/662pp
Personally I only have this question, which nobody anywhere in the world has been able to answer:
HOW COME SOME ASTRONAUTS - OF WHATEVER NATIONALITY - SINCE 1969 AND WITH TEN THOUSAND FOLD BETTER ELECTRONICS, BETTER FUEL, TECHNICAL POSSIBILITIES AND BETTER SPACECRAFT - FOR THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS NOT HAVE BEEN BACK ON THE MOON?
Nor on any other planet for that matter?
It's 2006, and there's still the question...
And no answer yet.

NASA LOSES ORIGINAL VIDEOTAPE OF FIRST MOON LANDING
By Staff and Wire Reports
August 15, 2006 - The U.S. government has misplaced the original recording of the first moon landing, including astronaut Neil Armstrong's famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," a NASA spokesman said on Monday.
Armstrong's famous space walk, seen by millions of viewers on July 20, 1969, is among transmissions that NASA has failed to turn up in a year of searching, spokesman Grey Hautaloma said.
"We haven't seen them for quite a while. We've been looking for over a year and they haven't turned up," Hautaloma said.
The tapes also contain data about the health of the astronauts and the condition of the spacecraft. In all, some 700 boxes of transmissions from the Apollo lunar missions are missing, he said.
"I wouldn't say we're worried -- we've got all the data. Everything on the tapes we have in one form or another," Hautaloma said.
NASA has retained copies of the television broadcasts and offers several clips on its Web site.
But those images are of lower quality than the originals stored on the missing magnetic tapes.
Because NASA's equipment was not compatible with TV technology of the day, the original transmissions had to be displayed on a monitor and re-shot by a TV camera for broadcast.
Hautaloma said it is possible the tapes will be unplayable even if they are found, because they have degraded significantly over the years -- a problem common to magnetic tape and other types of recordable media.
The material was held by the National Archives but returned to NASA sometime in the late 1970s, he said.
"We're looking for paperwork to see where they last were," he said.
