Missing lunar tapes finally revealed
Discovery Channel has a blog on the missing tapes. In reality, they were never missing. The technology was lost to read these tapes.
Holmes is hopeful of getting the tape recorder working again in January, and then he said it should only take a week to extract information that has been locked away since the early 1970s.
It'll still be a few months before the data is available. I'm looking forward to what may come out of this. If we don't reach for the stars we are not going to get very far. :)
