#1 That's certainly sad from a historic point of view, but as for the loss of a sharper and more detailed clip of the moon landing don't we have clips from the subsequent landings?

#2 Yes they do. In fact, many of them have been digitized. Unfortunately, we're talking about the original of the first landing. You just can't calculate the historical significance, as you pointed out.

#3 The original was lost because there is no original. The footage broadcast was all degraded on purpose to make it harder to see that it was really filmed on a back lot in Hollywood.

See how easy it is to be a conspiracy theorist!

#7 Probably was in the WTC where the U.S. Government stuffed it along with hundreds of tons of other embarassing documents (not to mention Jimmy Hoffa's body) to be destroyed on 9/11...

If you look closely at the films you can see Hoffa's left ~~testicle~~ foot being blown thru a window in the initial blast - just before the airliner hit.

#10 No problem. Was biking out in Irvine this weekend and saw the old Airship hangers are still intact.

They can reshoot the landing anytime they want.

#12 Anyone so dense as to doubt the moon landings is not worth convincing anyway. It is nearly impossible to comprehend how people can be so incredibly stupid. I rate them right up there with Holocaust deniers.

#13 This is what happens when you hire minimum wage high school students and work studies to do your filing.

To new work study: "Look at the file number, it goes *after* the littler numbers and *before* the bigger numbers. Can you understand that?"

It is to weep for, the amount of time I have spent looking for misplaced files.
