Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits

[Xenophanez]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re-used, but newly restored copies of the original broadcast look even better, NASA officials said on Thursday.
NASA released the first glimpses of a complete digital make-over of the original landing footage that clarifies the blurry and grainy images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface of the moon.
The full set of recordings, being cleaned up by Burbank, California-based Lowry Digital, will be released in September. The preview is available at www.nasa.gov.
NASA admitted in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969, landing.

This is pretty old but I think the moon landing was real, one of the reasons being the moon rocks they got. They got ~380kg in their Apollo Space Program and they've been verified from the ones found in Antarctica. And they've only found 30kg of moon rocks on Earth till now AFAIK.

The only thing which is a bit weird is that if it was for real, why there was no other moon landing even with so much advancement and research.

what's the big deal about landing on the moon? Why all the hesitation about it?

because one was enough .. it was more of an ego trip. No need to flush down billions of taxpayers' dollars .. just to look good.
