On July 20, 1969, the NASA's Eagle landed on the moon making Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin the first men on the moon. Neil, the first to speak up there famously said:
"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
Aldrin may not have spoke first, but undisputed sources say he was sure the first man to pee on the moon.
This landing has endured a lot of speculation about whether or not it's true over the years - since it happened in the midst of a 'space race.' Now, it's up to be criticized once again.
On Thursday, July 16, 2009, NASA announced that they have LOST the moon-landing footage.
Umm... are you kidding me?! Shouldn't these be in some tripple-thick glass case somewhere?! Like a museum? The Space Museum perhaps?
Apparently not. In an effort to be a little GREENER, NASA has begun magnetically erasing tapes in order to save money. Hello, isn't this our advanced, money-bloated government? Can't they switch the tapes over to digital footage before fancily erasing history? I don't think my tax money is going to very good use if you're just going to erase it!
So what now? A Hollywood-based company Lowry Digital is re-creating them using old CBS news footage. Yeah, that will keep the conspiracy theorists at bay... not.
Goodluck smoothing this one over NASA. A word of advice? Before you get cheap and follow trends, try keeping up with the times and go digital before you erase history again.
