100+ Boxes of Lost NASA Moon Landing Tapes Found !

[LanceM]

Hello All,

If this has already been discussed, I apologize for reposting old info. I did not see anything on this. I have found a few articles about footage, audio, and other formats of footage from this historic event that have been discovered of late.

Here is a interesting item of 16mm film footage for almost 30 minutes of lost moon landing footage, footage that was not beamed into homes :

The next is a audio tape recording of the last crucial moments of this event. A 10 minute segment can be heard on the site as well:

Up to 100 boxes of lost moon landing footage have been recovered from Australia. Lying under physics students very seats, hidden by old equipment in a dusty room. Believe it or not, they nearly became lost again:

Great to see so much footage has been rediscovered of this historical event. Should of never been lost in the first place, oh well, now it is safe and sound to be preserved and enjoyed by future generations.

Cheers, Lance.

Certainly be a scoop if they can find the orginal tapes of the slow scan signal coming from the Moon, as this would be a new high quality look of that event. The next problem is rebuilding a machine to view them and see if they have survived.

In those days there was nothing to transfer them to normal TV standards so what the world watched was a camera pointed at a monitor IE telerecording with all the artefacts and problems of old tube cameras and old monitors.

Blimey! This is good! I do hope th tapes are playable after all this time.
