  Although the researchers never found the telemetry tapes, they did discover the best visual quality NTSC videotapes as well as Super 8 movie film taken of a video monitor in Australia, showing the SSTV transmission before it was converted. These visual elements were processed in 2009, as part of a NASA-approved restoration project of the first moonwalk. At a 2009 news conference in Washington, D.C., the research team released its findings regarding the tapes’ disappearance. They also partially released newly enhanced footage obtained during the search. Lowry Digital completed the full moonwalk restoration project in late 2009.

    Video is a small part of the telemetry.

  Not really, how many times have straightforward cock-ups happened with the interactions with your government in your life? Large organisations fuck up constantly in mundane ways, history skews far more in favour of cock-ups than conspiracies.

    Cockups happen all the time, but not on mankinds most impressive achievement.

    I’m not saying the landings were fake. I’m suggesting the “live” telemetry was.

    It smells of a “Dave was ment to look after that. All our other guys are doing important stuff. How can Dave mess up flipping the tape over and putting a new one on the deck. He would have to be an idiot.”
