Default So what happened to the original Apollo tapes, anyway?

"Sure, it's awesome that NASA is restoring the footage they have of
the Apollo 11 moon landing, but what really happened to the original
slow-scan telemetry tapes that the highest resolution footage was
recorded on? Rumors abound about them being lost forever, or found
again. To find out what really happened, I had a chat with Dick
Nafzger, the Goddard Space Flight Center engineer who was in charge of
coordinating all TV operations for the moon landing back in 1969, at
the age of 28. He still works at Goddard as an engineer, and has been
one of the leading characters in the tape restoration this year. Here
are excerpts from our interview in which he answered the question: Are
the original Apollo 11 tapes lost forever?"
