Original movie about the moon landing is deleted

The US Space Agency (NASA) yesterday acknowledged that the original footage of the first human lunar expedition was erased. But they claim that the restored tapes are of higher quality.

In 2006, NASA announced that no one could find original video clips of the first moon landing in human history by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. Since then, Richard Nafzger - an engineer working at NASA's Goddard (state Maryland) Space Center, has spent a lot of time searching for them. He was also in charge of broadcasting the Apollo 11 journey on television in the past.

Nafzger finally found the original tapes, but what was surprising was that the content of the tapes was removed to use these tapes to record other content to save money. " At that time our main goal was a live television program on television. After that nobody cared about the tapes anymore, " Nafzger said.

The tapes that once held the historical moon landing that Nafzger found are only a small fraction of the more than 200,000 copies that people have erased for reuse . Fortunately, NASA experts found CBS news videos and some kinescope tapes (the precursor of video tapes, used to record live television programs of that time) in Chinese warehouses. Johnson universe center. All were in good condition, so the image of the Apollo 11 landing was not permanently lost.

Lowry, a company famous for reviving old Hollywood movies, has digitized the videos. They also added images and data to increase the quality of the movie. It was the fact that a Hollywood-based company involved in recovering videos could make people think that NASA's moon landing was staged at a certain studio or military base. But Nafzger is not worried about this.

Mike Inchalik, Lowry's director of digital digitization, said: " The company only recovered historical footage. The skeptics about the landing will continue to believe their hypothesis. whether the videos are restored or not ".

Meanwhile, NASA said, some of the videos copied about the first moon landing may still be somewhere in their video-conversion center in Sydney, Australia. According to Nafzger, someone in Sydney recorded the live television program in 1969. " These are not official tapes, but they are now valuable, " he said.

Yesterday NASA also released the first transcripts of the moon landing. In the footage, two astronauts eil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the planet. NASA has posted them on the agency's website (http://www.nasa.gov) and all digitized films will be released in September this year.
