Recently, NASA managers scrambled to respond to reports that the agency
had lost the original tapes of the historic 1969 moon landing, when
Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface. The tapes eventually were
found.


They've been found? Is this NEW news? When did this happen? Any further
information?

Apollo 11 tapes still missing

An article I wrote last week incorrectly reported the lost NASA tapes
of Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk had been found.


The hunt for those original magnetic data tapes from the Apollo 11
mission is still on and the story of the search is a fascinating tale.


Check out this web site learn more about how retired space program
workers are working to locate the original data telemetry tapes.


If the tapes can be found and their data converted, the world could
see for the first time the clearest pictures ever of Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface.


The images transmitted around the world in 1969 were degraded and
fuzzy because of the technology used to convert and transmit around
the globe the telemetry streaming down from the moon.


The "Apollo 11 tape search" Web site contains a number of documents
that explain the 37-year-old video technology NASA used and the status
of the 21st century "archeological dig" to resurrect the lost tapes.
