NASA lost moon footage, but Hollywood restores it
By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein, Ap Science Writer – Thu Jul 16, 7:11 pm ET
WASHINGTON – NASA could put a man on the moon but didn't have the sense to keep the original video of the live TV transmission.
In an embarrassing acknowledgment, the space agency said Thursday that it must have erased the Apollo 11 moon footage years ago so that it could reuse the videotape.
But now Hollywood is coming to the rescue.
The studio wizards who restored "Casablanca" are digitally sharpening and cleaning up the ghostly, grainy footage of the moon landing, making it even better than what TV viewers saw on July 20, 1969. They are doing it by working from four copies that NASA scrounged from around the world.

Coolness. A better video of the moon landing.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

I wonder if they used to have tape of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spending hours trying to pound the flag into the nearly granite hard landing site...
The flag didn't expand all the way so it had the appearance of rolling in the wind (although it did sit still)....
Armstrong said he was more afraid of the flag falling over than he was of dying on the mission...

It will likely have Tom Cruise in it though.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

Naw, Brad Pitt is the new Tom Cruise. That, and Tom is becoming ostracized for his bizarre behavior of recent years.

Brad Pitt is da pitz.
And so is Tom Cruise for that matter.
Isn't Brad a Scientologist too?

I don't think so.

The flag was waving because the whole thing was a fake!
Didn't you see Capricorn One?
Hollywood can make you believe ANYTHING!
What kind of country have we become?
One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”
and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

LOL.
It didn't wave. It simply had some folds because the bar to hold it out didn't extend all the way. On accident NASA liked it so much that in the future landings they brought flags that were like it on purpose.
You will also note several more things. Dust doesn't kick up while the lander sets down. This is because dust kicks up because of air pushing against the dust when the rocket comes down, since there was no air there, dust stayed put.

They have just stopped the funding of the Lunar Laser experiments in Texas after 40 years.LOL.

Just me.
Brad Pitt's name has been brought up as a possible candidate for mayor of New Orleans. I guess it is because he has built all those green houses in a flood zone.
But anything is better than Naigan, I guess.
Loyal to the end
I assume that you're joking. Here's a picture just released from NASA showing the lander recently:

But Capricorn One was a good movie.
Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.
