the original tapes were erased
there was a huge supercomputer company that recently managed to lose all it's backups, and more importantly, some early Doctor Who tapes were written over. You really think a manager would bother paying to preserve a 10fps copy when they already had the usable broadcast copy... Why would a scientist want to look at the moon landings again? They went there to get rock samples, that's the entirety of the mission...
You know all those videos you took of your beach holiday 10 years ago, who watches that now? So who the fuck do you think would want to watch a 50 year old 10fps potato version of the same stuff?
N O B O D Y ....
You don't think like a normal person at all do you?
some unrelated rant about driftwood and masks..?
whatever, I'm sure the ward nurse listens to you
wow, it is truly painful talking to someone this retarded
Collectable were totally a thing by then
where's the faeces they brought back to earth then? totally collectable, who wouldn't want some 'Genuine Moon Turds' on their desk...? So no, not everything is "collectable", you clearly have no idea of what scientific missions are supposed to be about - they are not about collecting random cool shit for eBay that people with no life can hoard forever, they are for scientific discovery. So sorry that the Chief Nerd Manager didn't see the point in keeping a second copy of a tape, in his mind it was just Bob walking around on the moon, the interesting stuff was the rocks and sensor readings he brought back. There will be a zillion copies of those because that's why they went.
a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood."
so fucking what? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE ROCK OUT OF HUNDREDS FOR FUCKS SAKE.... that doesn't discount that NASA gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries, they all exist and are in fact moon rocks.
"The museum acquired the rock after the death of former Prime Minister Willem Drees in 1988. Drees received it as a private gift on Oct. 9, 1969, from then-U.S. ambassador J. William Middendorf during a visit by the three Apollo 11 astronauts, part of their "Giant Leap" goodwill tour after the first moon landing."
Nice chain of evidence there genius, totally no possibility of it ever being swapped out or the labels being flipped in the back of the drawer while it was being passed around for 50 years...
