I think that is the big deal..........they were never transferred to other media originally at Goddard. They were sent to the National Archives and only rough CAM versions were available due to the technology incompatibilities. There's plenty of the rough stuff around but the real high quality versions are in extreme danger.

What's the big deal? They probably have transferred those images to other media by now anyhow.

But just 37 years after Apollo 11, it is feared the magnetic tapes that recorded the first moon walk - beamed to the world via three tracking stations, including Parkes's famous "Dish" - have gone missing at NASA's Goddard Space Centre in Maryland.

You know, it makes one wonder how these people ever manage to get a rocket off the launch pad at all.
