    First step on Moon

      Moon landings six,Apollo 11,12,14,15,16,17. My focus is Apollo 11 mankinds first Boot/Foot on Our Moon, well Earths Moon really but we humans are the Boot/Foot Print to Prove Life exists some where in this Solar System we are Living Proof, we Humans had Our First Contact with the Earths Moon that keeps its constant face at Earth......

      The Distance to the Moon from Earth =384,403 kilometres(238,857 miles) or 60 Earth radii. The Earth spins at 1609.344km/h (1,000 mph) and it travels through space at 67,000 mph with Our Moon orbiting at 1.023km/s .

    1969: July 20

       Buzz Aldrin(Lunar Module Pilot) and Neil Armstrong(Mission Commander) landed on the Moon while Michael Collins(Command Module Pilot) orbited Our Moon, Neil Armstrong was the first Man to set foot/boot(the first Moon walk) on Our Moon great event I too watched it on TV, I was very young but still I sat back and started to think out side the box at the time Wow! The footage I was watching it turns out was from Honeysuckle Creek's receiving station in Australia as Goldstone had a hitch, so it was suddenly switched to Honeysuckle Creek, hear and watch the switch.....also *important* to note Ed von Renouard's Super 8 footage of the Honeysuckle Creeks monitor as History unfolds.(right)

    Below are six restored videos from NASA, released 09'

    *Important* The search for the Apollo 11 TV tapes continues

      The Apollo 11 Moonwalk in July 1969 was the climax of the Apollo Program This is what the tapes look like.with the largest television audience in history watching Mankind's first steps on the Moon.Surprisingly, the best quality TV was never seen outside the tracking stations. The pictures seen by the world were degraded by the time they reached Houston. Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin on the Moon The highest quality TV was recorded on telemetry tapes at the three tracking stations which received the signal Goldstone, Honeysuckle Creek and Parkes. These tapes have never been replayed, but if they can be found and digitally processed, they could produce stunningly clear TV – much better than was seen in Houston or on the worldwide broadcast. The original tapes may be stored – and forgotten about – at a NASA facility somewhere. Read about the search (supported by those who worked at Goldstone, Parkes and Honeysuckle Creek) – and also see all the known photos taken at the tracking stations – by following the links.
    More info here from     Honeysuckle Creek.net and the Apollo 11 Tape Search Flyer.PDF
    This is what the tapes look like. The tapes we would really like to This is what the tapes look like.find are 14" diameter, 1" wide telemetry tapes – not standard TV tapes. In fact, the tapes above–left are some of the tapes. The telemetry tapes at Honeysuckle John Vanderkly annotates the tapes(left)
    on a M–22 telemetry recorder running at 120 inches per second – at Honeysuckle Creek, towards the end of the Apollo 11 EVA. Recording at this speed, the tapes had to be changed every 15 minutes.



    The Tapes were transferred to Goddard

    The Tapes that were sent to Goddard Space Flight Center were moved in 1970 to the US National Archives. No one knows why, but in 1984 700 boxes of tapes were returned to Goddard also missing are original recordings of the other five Apollo moon landings.

      There's a lot of missing data, telemetry tapes, pictures from the Apollo program


      Here's one explanation, Bob Dean has stated at the European Exopolitics Summit Barcelona, 25 July 09' that a Japanese space agency signed a contract to buy every copy of pictures NASA took during the Apollo program and than shows a picture from Apollo 13 he got from the Japanese space agency and that NASA erased 40 rolls of film of the apollo program.

    Gaps in Documentation

    Although Goddard policy now requires organizations to work through Code when storing and withdrawing records from the WNRC, it was not always that way. Record keeping personnel said that in the past, several organizations with large data holdings managed their own records and their own paperwork– –the so–called SF 135s needed to transfer records to the WNRC and the form 11s to withdraw them. The practice stopped in the late 1990s when NASA Headquarters became concerned that important data could be lost without a stricter accounting of what these organizations shipped and withdrew.
    After examining the green ledger books, employees began to suspect that the organization responsible for the Apollo tapes enjoyed the same working arrangement.The accession numbers listed in the ledger books were not in sequential order. In fact, employees found large gaps, indicating that the records office had assigned those.

    Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits

      The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re–used, but newly restored copies of the original broadcast look even better, NASA officials said on Thursday. NASA admitted in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969, landing.The good news is he found where they went. The bad news is they were part of a batch of 200,000 tapes that were degaussed – – magnetically erased –– and re–used to save money.“The goal was live TV,” Nafzger told a news conference. “We should have had a historian running around saying 'I don't care if you are ever going to use them – – we are going to keep them',” he said. They found good copies in the archives of CBS news and some recordings called kinescopes found in film vaults at Johnson Space Center. “The conspiracy theorists are going to believe what they are going to believe,” added Lowry Digital Chief Operating Officer Mike Inchalik. And there may be some unofficial copies of the original broadcast out there somewhere that were taken from a NASA video switching center in Sydney, Australia, the space agency said. Nafzger said someone else in Sydney made recordings too.

    Found Footage

    The Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP)

      The Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP). Dennis Wingo takes us on a walk through in what we have dubbed McMoon.
    McMoon refurmised drive Dennis is using a disused McDonald's at NASA Ames to store and process the Lunar Observer Tapes but first Dennis has to fix his Ampex–FR900 decoder, there are three others there too for parts.

      Between 1966 and 1967 NASA sent five Lunar Orbiter spacecraft to the Moon. Images from these spacecraft were used by mission planners to select the Apollo landing sites on the moon. Moon negative  In the late 1960s, after the Apollo era, Lunar Orbiter analog tapes were placed in storage in Maryland. In the mid–1980s, they were transferred to JPL, under the care of Nancy Evans, co–founder of the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS). In the late 1980's Nancy and Mark Nelson from Caltech began a project to obtain surplus FR–900 tape drives, refurbish them, and digitize the analog data on the tapes. This project was partially successful in that they were able to obtain raw analog data but due to lack of funding they were unable to continue their efforts.


    In 2007, Nancy Evans tried to find someone to take the drives. Dennis Wingo heard about this and contacted Keith Cowing. Wingo and Cowng subsequetly obtained the drives and tapes and brought them up to NASA Ames Research Center. Here's another good video with Dennis Wingo from National Geographic (left)Dennis Wingo's hand on his working AMPEX FR–900 at the McMoon Base
