Default Apollo Tapes are not missing

I'd like to find these tapes, too, but recall that
the even-sharper images from another angle
were taken from the LM window on 16-mm motion
picture film -- but didn't show Neil's full body as
he made his 'small step'.

Can't some grad student run an inverse fourier transform
on the digitized views we have, and 'un-defocus' them
a bit?

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).
