Perhaps I'm too imaginative.
Well, he still hasn't taken any of the Apollo hoax material off his site...

Well, I wanted something special for my 1,000th post, and this fits the bill:

The tapes have been found. Link.

The article includes interesting details on why the video quality we saw was so poor.

So far, I've bought the Apollo 11, 3 dvd set from spacecraftfilms.com, and I intend on buying the 4 dvd set from them when it comes out...now you're telling me that I 'll still need to buy it again?

Not that I'm complaining....

This calls for a firmer, bolder link, with description and sample, that might get the story found if the link should shrivel. We all know how material can get lost.

[UK] Sunday Express: WORLD EXCLUSIVE: NASA FINDS MISSING MOON LANDING TAPES

Quote:
If the visual data can be retrieved, Nasa is set to reveal them to the world as a key plank of celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of the landings next month.

The tapes show in much more detail than almost anyone has previously seen the surface of the moon beneath the patriotic symbol of the US flag.

Crucially, they could once and for all dispel 40 years of wild conspiracy theories.
Quote:
Most suspected they had been shipped from Australia to an American archive and then mislaid.

However, recently scientists looking for other data stumbled across a number of Nasa tapes in a storage facility in Perth, Australia.

They thought they merely contained details of moon dust from several Appollo missions.

But Nasa confirmed to the Sunday Express that they also contain the video data of the Apollo 11 landing.

“We’re talking about the same tapes,” a Nasa spokesman said when challenged.
Many will remember: Cosmos [November 2006]: Lost Moon landing [data] tapes discovered:

Quote:
For years 'lost' tapes recording data from the Apollo 11 Moon landing have been stored underneath the seats of Australian physics students. A recent search has uncovered them.

THEY WERE NEARLY THROWN OUT with the rubbish. But a last minute search instead has scientists in Western Australia dusting off several boxes of 'lost' NASA tapes which record surface conditions on the Moon just after Neil Armstrong stepped into space history on 21 July 1969.
Quote:
Last week [November 2006], up to 100 tapes, clearly marked "NASA Manned Space Center", turned up after a search in a dusty basement of a physics lecture hall at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia. One of the old tapes has been sent to the American space agency to see whether it can be deciphered and 'stripped' of any important data which may have survived the ravages of time.

I'm afraid I got totally distracted with the link, when I saw on the same page a news item or advertisement stating that the average IQ of citizens of the USA is 98. That's the UK press for you. Puzzling.

Indeed. I think they're going to be disappointed, both by the reaction of the conspiracy theorists and by the quality of the video. It's still slow-scan, after all...a couple hundred lines and 10 frames/s.

HB: "Of course they look better now, Photoshop has improved so much."

Sigh (in advance).

I doubt clearer video will convince many HB's, any more than I believe the LRO mission will do the trick. In fact, I'm sure they're concocting their rationalizations as we speak.

So to heck with them. It will be amazing to see improved footage of the landing. Can't wait!!!
