NASA Can't Find The Apollo Video Tapes . . .
NASA has apparently misplaced all the original, super-clear, never-broadcast tapes of the Apollo missions.
http://www.forbes.com/technology/ebusiness/feeds/ap/2006/08/15/ap2952087.html Red-faced because the best pictures of its glory days are missing, NASA said Tuesday it was launching an official search for more than 13,000 original tapes of the historic Apollo moon missions. What's missing are the never-before-broadcast clear original videos - not the grainy converted pictures the world watched on television more than three decades ago. The tapes aren't lost, insists the NASA official put in charge of the search. But he doesn't know where they are. Most likely they are somewhere at the sprawling Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., which misplaced the tapes originally. But they also could be stored somewhere else. The original video, taken directly from the moon and beamed to deep space network observatories in Australia, has never been seen by the general public or even NASA officials.

Hilarious. They can track (along with NORAD) several thousand teeny tiny objects in earth orbit - some the size of marbles - and they can't find the most significant archive items in their history.
Your tax dollars at work people. I swear government is about the only thing in the universe that operates less efficiently than large corporations - yet somehow both manage to survive. . .

Honestly, I am not too suprised.
I can't find my keys that I just put down 5 minutes ago, let alone something from 38 years gone by!

The Coast To Coast AM crowd has been talking about this for the better part of the last year.
