Sono andate perdute le copie originali delle immagini dello sbarco sulla Luna contenute in 45 nastri di proprietà dell'Agenzia spaziale americana. Inutili i tentativi di ritrovarle, attempts initiated three years ago when some historians asked NASA to see them. To admit it was Richard Nafzger, a communications expert for forty years at Goddard Space Flight Center, the American agency, the coordinator of the television broadcast images of the Apollo missions, the specialist who had converted in real-time images as "slow- scan "of the walk on the moon Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in the standard format required for transmission on television of the houses across the world. Without the original tapes is easy to imagine the return of all the polemics of those who have always maintained that the astronauts landed on the satellite are not farms. Narrow Nafzger said today, are likely been erased, or someone has stacked the data from other missions in the seventies, by mistake. Not all hope is lost, he added, the two ground stations located in Australia (Parkes Radio Astronomy, near South Wales, and the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, Canberra) receiving images from space with the one in California ( the Goldstone Tracking Facility in the Mojave Desert), should have two other tapes in their archives with pictures "slow-scan" of the landing, although up to now not been found.
