|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board NASA loses Apollo 11 footage.... Erik Markov, Photographer Kokomo | IN | | Posted: 12:14 AM on 07.17.09 ->> and Hollywood comes to the rescue. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090717/ap_on_sc/us_sci_moon_video Very funny, guess somebody at space control didn't want to miss Super Bowl IV. "Gimme a tape, any tape, the game's gonna be on soon and I don't want to miss anything." The Hollywood studio restoring the footage said Casablanca "had a pixel count 10 times higher than the moon video." So, who's gonna make the first joke about faked footage? :)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You would think that would be something that would be kept forever.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The press center and image archives at Cape Canaveral was run by Johnson Controls when I was there nine years ago for a gig. It's even possible that it's just been misplaced.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Still, I count that time as the greatest in human history.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
