Default Original Clear Moon Tapes Found in Australia

Actually, the newspaper got it wrong. NASA has not been able to find the
missing slow scan tapes after three years of searching. They believe the
tapes were wiped and reused. They will release a report about the failure
in August.

An exerpt of their July 16 announcement follows:

"At tracking stations in Australia and the United States, engineers
recorded data beamed to Earth from the lunar module onto one-inch
telemetry tapes. The tapes were recorded as a backup if the live
transmission failed or if the Apollo Project needed the data later.
Each tape contained 14 tracks of data, including bio-medical, voice,
and other information; one channel was reserved for video.

A three-year search for these original telemetry tapes was
unsuccessful. A final report on the investigation is expected to be
completed in the near future and will be publicly released at that
time. "

Makes us wonder what else our government and civil service minions
lost track of. If I'd lost or corrupted 1% as much data and
engineering files that were all public funded, I'd be put in jail.
