Default Apollo Tapes are not missing

The landing was broadcast live around the world. My question is,
aren't there many "original" tapes that various news and other
organizations would have in their possesion that would make this point
moot. Is is just a question of "NASA's" copy gone south? Does it make
a difference?..........Doc


It makes a lot of difference. NASA's originals are much higher quality than
what was broadcast live, due to the low-tech NTSC conversion method used
(literally, point a TV camera at a monitor playing the original).
