the original records of the first human setting foot on the moon 40 years ago were destroyed and
reused but Tech taiku and Elon Musk revealed that recently repaired copies of the original
broadcast appear much better Neil Armstrong and Buzz aldrin's unclear and grainy photographs of
themselves walking on the moon's surface have been clarified by NASA in the first sneak peeks
of a full digital restoration of the original Landing film nobody could locate the original
video records of the landing on July 20 1969 according to NASA which acknowledged
this in 2006 so how did this happen stay tuned as the only Elon Musk will update us

scientists artists and Poets for Millennia the history of astrophysics and astronomy from
63-1972 is greatly influenced by the moon landings the Apollo program is credited with six successful
moon landings on July 20 1969 the first one known as Apollo 11 represented a significant advancement
for Humanity the first humans to set foot on the moon were American astronauts Edwin Buzz Aldrin
and Neil Armstrong six and a half hours later Armstrong made history by being the first person
to walk on the moon unfortunately it was claimed that the original moon landing tapes had been lost
the real story regarding what happened to the original moon landing tapes has recently been
exposed by NASA Chief we'll learn what actually happened in this video and how such a reputable
Institute could make such an error the Apollo 11 Mission took place eight years after President
John F Kennedy set a national objective to land a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s as he
took his first stride Armstrong famously exclaimed that's one small step for men one giant leap for
mankind in 1972 Apollo 17 carried out the last primitive human trip to the moon the motivation
behind the American Endeavor to send astronauts to the Moon came from President Kennedy's speech to a
special joint session of Congress on May 25 1961. in the Cold War era Kennedy's bold initiatives
was warmly welcomed America as the country was still lagging behind the Soviet Union in terms
of space development the first unmanned Apollo Mission carried out by NASA in 1966 examined the
mechanical robustness of the proposed launch vehicle and spacecraft combination five years
after a global team of scientists and Engineers started their work tragic event then occurred on
January 27 1967 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral Florida when a fire broke
out when a Saturn rocket launch pad test and a manned Apollo spacecraft were in operation a
total of three astronauts perished in the fire despite the setback NASA and its thousands of
employees continue to work toward achieving their purpose the first manned Apollo mission
in Apollo 7 successfully tested several of the intricate Technologies needed to undertake a moon
mission in October 1968 while orbiting the Earth Apollo 8's lunar Landing in December of the same
year involved sending three men to the moon's far side and back in March of the following year 1969
Apollo 9 carried out the first lunar module test while orbiting the Earth three men from Apollo
10 completed the first lunar orbit in May of that year in advance of the July Landing Mission which
will take place on July 16 at 9 32 a.m Eastern Standard Time Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and
Michael Collins were among the astronauts aboard Apollo 11 which launched from the Kennedy Space
Center Armstrong a 38 year old civilian research pilot led the effort to abort the operation on
July 19. the following day at 1 46 PM Apollo 11 arrived in a lunar orbit after traveling 248
000 miles in 76 hours Eagle the lunar module occupied by Armstrong and Alder and parted ways
with Colin's habitation The Command Module two hours later at 4 17 PM the eagle began its Ascent
to the lunar surface the ship came down on the sea of tranquilities Southwestern point the now famous
statement the eagle has landed was broadcast by Armstrong to Mission Control in Houston
Texas right away at 10 39 PM five hours ahead of schedule Armstrong opened the lunar module
hatch Armstrong descended the module's ladder and set his now famous phrase at 10 56 PM as he
did so a television camera mounted on the craft recorded the event and relayed the signal back
to Earth where hundreds of millions of people anxiously watched it he was joined by Aldrin
19 minutes later when they touched down on the moon's surface they documented the surroundings
with photographs and raised a flag for the USA in memory of the Lost Apollo one team engaged
in a few basic scientific investigations while communicating with President Richard Nixon via
Houston president Richard Nixon connected with Armstrong and Aldrin through telephone radio
broadcast shortly after they raised the American flag on the lunar surface it was the most historic
call ever placed from the White House according to Nixon by 1 11 in the morning on July 21 both
men were inside the lunar module where they spent the rest of the night sleeping on the
moon's surface a walk back to the Command Module was begun by the Eagle at 1 54 PM the plaque that
read here men from the planet Earth First set foot on the moon July 1969 A.D we came in peace
For All Mankind was one of the items left on the moon's surface in addition to the American flag
Armstrong successfully docked and reunited with Collins at 5 35 pm on July 22nd on July 24 at
12 50 PM Apollo 11 began its return journey and safely touched down in the Pacific Ocean despite
the fact that the mission was a huge success for NASA the astronauts aboard as well as his team
NASA acknowledged in 2006 that the original lunar Landing tapes had been deleted and were no longer
accessible this this incident became known as the Apollo 11 missing tapes the tapes from Apollo 11's
slow scan television are missing broadcast of Apollo 11 in its unprocessed form from the 1969
first lunar Landing Telemetry data tape backup data tapes were used to record all sent data
including video Telemetry before they were lost the sstv signal was transmitted on conventional
television by NASA ground receiving stations using real-time scan conversion to the ntsc television
format the converted video feed of the moonwalk was aired live across the globe on July 21 1969.
numerous videotapes and kinescope movies from the period contain recordings of the ntsc broadcast
these poor recordings are typically still intact since the real-time transmission was successful
and extensively recorded it was not given priority for preservation in the Years immediately after
the mission since NASA's landsat program was facing a serious data tape deficit in the early
1980s the tapes were likely erased and repurposed at the time a group of contractors and former
NASA employees searched for the cassettes in the early 2000s however they fell short several still
pictures of the aesthetically Superior raw sstv signal as it appeared on ground station monitors
the search for the moonwalk's clearest erupted in the late 1990s it took the research team a number
of years to find the most precise video footage if copies of the original sstv format tapes could
be found more sophisticated digital equipment could do a higher quality conversion resulting
in images that were better than those first seen the researchers came to the conclusion that NASA
had reused the tapes from the early 1980s that contained The Raw unfiltered Apollo 11
sstv transmission even though the Telemetry tapes were never recovered the researchers were able to
find the best ntsc videotapes in accordance with the recognized procedure at the time
a Super 8 film was taken of an Australian video display that recorded the sstv transmission prior
to conversion as part of the first NASA approved moonwalk restoration project these visual elements
were changed in 2009 between news conferences in Washington DC in 2009 the investigating
team released their findings regarding The Disappearance of the tapes additionally some
of the newly enhanced videos that were discovered during the search were released the entire
moonwalk restoration project was completed by Lowry digital in late 2009 due to the constrained
radio capacity other Communications had to be multiplexed with the visual signal from the lunar
Landings from the eagle lunar module Telemetry beams are sent back to Earth because of this the
moonwalk video from Apollo 11 was aired via the Apollo TV Camera in monochrome sstv format at 10
frames per second with 320 lines of resolution these sstv signals were detected by gradually
scanning radio telescopes at the Goldstone track station in California the Pine Creek
monitoring station in Australia and the parks observatory in Australia however the camera's
video format was incompatible with the ntsc pal and seacam broadcast television standards of the
time it needed to be converted before it could be broadcast on broadcast television networks this
rudimentary live conversion essentially included pointing a video camera at a high-end 10 inch TV
monitor the camera's scan rate was substantially lower than the roughly 30 frames per second
for ntsc television necessitating real-time scan conversion in order to display the camera's images
on a normal TV NASA selected an RCA scan converter to convert the black and white SS TV signals from
the Apollo 7 8 9 and 11 missions since it was the television standard in use at the time in North
America the SS TV signal from the Apollo TV Camera was picked up by the ground stations on processed
data from one signal Branch was recorded using a 14-track analog data tape recorder at 120 inches
per second onto 14 inch diameter reels of one inch wide analog magnetic data cassettes when
it radioed its images in their raw unconverted form and separated it into two branches the other
raw SS TV signal Branch was converted into an ntsc broadcast television signal by the RCA scan
converter the RCA scan converter operated via an optical conversion process instead of just
being re-photographed by a conventional RCA TK 22 television camera the signal was transferred
to an excellent 10-inch video monitor where it underwent conversion 525 scanned lines interlaced
at a speed of 30 frames per second using the ntse broadcast standard a basic frame was made of the
monitor's persistent phosphores a disk recorder based on the mpex hs100 model was used to buffer
the first field from the camera an appropriately time delayed copy of the first field was supplied
to the mtsc field interlay switch or encoder along with that field by mixing the original and copied
portions the First full 525 line interlaced frame was produced after that the signal was relayed to
Houston until the next sstv frame was recorded by the camera this series was repeated five more
times by the disk recorder the converter then went through each frame's complete processor
gain for each new frame that was live downloaded from space this live conversion was a archaic with
the system image degradation was inevitable because the monitors and the camera's Optical
capabilities significantly decreased the original sstv signals contrast brightness and resolution
the additional 20 frames per second needed by television broadcasters around the world to
deliver flicker free images were thus produced by the RCA converter compared to the LA 21st century
