[QuadList] FR-600s - Was Re: NPR story: Houston, We Erased The Apollo 11 Tapes

[C. Park Seward]

 From my AMIA post. Exactly agreeing with Dave.



"NASA lost its original moon landing videotapes and after a three-year  
search, officials have concluded they were probably erased."

Wouldn't you think that that tape would have a big "Do Not Erase"  
sticker on it? Perhaps it was not labeled properly since I can't  
imagine someone taking a tape box that read "Original Apollo 11 Master  
Moonwalk Tape" and erasing it!

There is no "Undo" when you erase a tape.

Best,
Park
