One Small Slip for man... One Giant Mistake for Mankind

Well there has always been debate on if the moon landing has been real, (There have been 6 moon landings people!!! It's not fake) but this is just surreal. I read on Arstechnica a few days ago, but it just came up again today. NASA (that's the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, if you didn't know) has LOST THE MOON LANDING VIDEOS!!!! Can you believe it?!?

I mean these guys are supposed to be responsible, I know people make mistakes, and they are only human, but even a dog remembers which fire hydrant he's been too. You can read the article for the whole story, but to summarize: The tapes were housed in the Goddard Space Center in Maryland, and were withdrawn sometime ago, apparently the tapes have gone missing, yet are not assumed to be stolen just "lost." Great we just lost a great achievement of the human race, wouldn't it have been funny if the guy who invented the wheel lost it, and had actually slowed down the advancement of man... There can only be one "first" moon walk, now that it's lost it feels like humanity has not accomplished anything in the last century except war and chaos.

There are still millions of copies around the world. The event was telivised live around the world at the time, surely people must have taped it.

If you click on the link on the original article, these tapes were a higher quality than what the world saw, because the TV transmission was through a camera that was recording a monitor with the actual feed.
