NASA erased the original moon landing tapes?

0 votes

I remember hearing years ago that NASA lost the original tapes of the moon landing. The problem has been discovered. Supposedly someone erased the tapes for reuse.

It sounds like they were getting rid of evidence. The most reprinted pictures of all time, and they let them sit unprotected in a giant warehouse with loads of other crap.

Is it just me or does that add to the suspicion of what really happened? How did they get through the Van Allen Radiation Belts?

Ummm Yah, Duh... They're the Government.

What's so hard to believe... I mean we're talking about the government here. Their job is to do dumb shit.

For the love of God. NASA lost a space probe because they forgot to convert from Metric to English units.

(Not to hate on NASA or anything, but they do make mistakes-- I think they're pretty cool to be honest.)

Oh yah, PS:

No it doesn't add to the suspicion. And they get through the Van Allen Radiation Belts by going through VERY fast-- so fast that they are only exposed to 1 rad worth of radiation. (It takes like 100 rads to make you sick-- 1000 to kill you etc). In short they used a rocket to fly through the belts very quickly, they didn't stick around to get radiation poisoning.

A few years back Wired

A few years back Wired magazine had an article about this issue and if I'm remembering correctly, the author was a bit suspicious as to how the original recording of probably the most important space mission in history was lost. I remember the article being quite long. Anyhow, figured I would mention that in case anyone wants to look it up.

...

There's no way....

those tapes would have been re-used. It's just some kind of cover-up excuse. I know after this most historic event, the videotapes - & they would have been huge tapes on reels, would have been carefully labeled & stored. You're all thinking & talking about VHS cassettes. Those didn't exist in 1969. If they still have the Zapruder film, they still have the moon tapes, unless someone wanted them destroyed.

It Was An Accident

Someone accidentally took that tape and used it to record an episode of "Bewitched," a very popular show in those days. After recording over the historic event, it was left in a pile of videotapes available for borrowing that was kept in the breakroom and was misplaced for years; that's why it wasn't known to be missing for a long time. Understandable foul-up, it's the kind of thing that happens around my workplace as well. I don't think there's anything odd about it; just one of those things, it could happen to anyone.

As a former professional Degausser for the DOD. hehe

I say it was just a stupid mistake.
Before you guys get freaked out too much..
My job was to track Birds for the Navy, nothing special.
We recorded 2 digital, and 2 analog tapes every time a cluster of 3 traveled over.

The tapes were stored in a library for a given period of time. Then degaussed and reused. We moved them around in carts..Like the ones the AV geeks used in your High-school.

This was important data too. But more than once I saw new, just recorded tapes accidentally get put on the "to be degaussed" cart. I saw people dismount, and remount the same tape..to immediately be recorded over..All kinds of stupid stuff.

this mistake could be made so easily.especially in a Lowest bidder, government worker environment.

I can understand them

I can understand them reusing the tape. However, these are not just anything documented. These were the most widely printed photographs EVER. If we have a gold phono copy of Daydream Nation from Sonic Youth, I'm pretty sure they should have known these are a national treasure and kept them with the utmost care.

You can't make me see what you think I should know
you don't understand where I'm coming from
we're passing through worlds no perception in time
I'm not the same as when I began

Show me don't tell me
what's going on inside your little world
You say we never landed on the moon,
you heard we never reached the sky
then shed some light I'll lend a patient ear

Don't let me down I gotta know
if something good could grow out on this rock
save me one more time
and I'll be free from the way I think it ought to be

Babylon (Babble on)
Could I be wrong

A silhouette of you and me
just negative space and time
just reference to a simpler history
I'd sacrifice a million nights for a moments peace with you
reflections to dissect reality

It's all in what we hold as being real
when the symbol kills the substance then we've lost
save me one more time
and I'll be free from the alleyways of my heart

(you can't make me see what you think I should know)
I'm going nowhere
I'm going nowhere inside this head of mine.

(you can't make me see what you think I should know)
we're going nowhere
we're going nowhere inside this head of mine.

sit and stay awhile
talk to me about the things that make you real
let's forget about all that make you and me surrender
surrender

Will always have an open mind

but dudes, they landed on the moon.

I think so too, Kid.

As a matter of fact, I watched it as it happened, when I was a kid! I felt in awe to be one of over 600 million people from all around the world, all watching together, all hoping for the safety of the astronauts, all wishing we could move forward together into a newly awakened world of love and peace. It was actually quite a spiritual experience. But alas, it was all an impossible dream. It was all a dream except for the fact that we really did land on the moon. At least that is what I believe!

I haven't looked into it

I haven't looked into it enough to say either way, I'll never take any mass media covered topic forgranted again.

this is very suspisous.

They are having some kind of

Moon Landing special on History Channel in about 3 minutes hence...that's 10:30 PM Eastern....I'm going to go watch it...

I just finished watching it, myself.

After the special they showed what looked to me to be some of the original footage of Apollo 11's landing (digitalized, of course). What did you think? Then after that, they had another show on with some scientists talking about different aspects of the moon (it's many effects on the earth, theories about it's origin, etc). One of the scientists stated that there were mirrors placed on the moon's surface (by the Apollo 11 astronauts) which helped to show that the moon is moving away from the earth by about 1 1/2 inches per year. Not to worry, though. He also said that the sun would burn out hundreds of thousands of years before the moon leaves its orbit of the earth.
When you add to that all the facts that have been learned from the rocks brought back, it sure sounds like they were really there to me.

I'll bet they didn't explain this.

I would look at this before you believe what the History Channel says. They are controlled by the same corporate interests, that the "News" is. They help perpetuate the lie.

There are many discrepancies, that I have not covered as it is late, and I must go to bed.

How does one ERASE tapes of supposedly the greatest feat of mankind? I could understand maybe parking lot surveillance footage, but COME ON!!

Thats such a cop-out. If

Thats such a cop-out. If some program or website disagree's with you, you simply say they are part of the 'corporate machine man' and then you can dismiss them. It's the way you truthers and CT nut's deal with anything put in front of you.

It's like trying to ask a religious person how they know their supreme being exists

-Well it's in their magic book of course.
-Well, what if your magic book isn't real?
-What about other stories that contradict your magic book or events in your book that don't appear in history.

Answer: Those are lies started by non-believers.

Not really, dude. St.

Not really, dude. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote 5 proofs for the existence of God. Of course none of those proofs necessarily state that God exists exactly like all of our biblical texts suggest He exists, and so what you speak of is a problem with religion in general but not necessarily one of whether God exists or not.

They are doing all these moon specials

one because it has been 40 years now, but also because the truth about the coverup is emerging.

First they said tapes were

First they said tapes were found and video would be released. Then the tapes have been destroyed, but copies of them were found in a university basement.

Lots of noise in the media echo chamber, but still no video.

They didn't.

!

It was a hoax.

Government intelligence, an oxymoron....

or sly like-a-fox, slight-of-hand disappearance. The former is already known and accepted, but the later would be an outrage to the humanity.
