I am so looking forward to this.

I wonder how the Moon-Landing-Denial People are going to take this...

Modern tech let them remake it really, really well, of course.

I've been writing a bit.

More detail from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/29 ... ing_tapes/]The Register: Apparently the Australia-based ground station that recorded the tapes directly from the inbound signal thought they'd shipped them to NASA, but instead they got "filed" with a bunch of other, lower-priority, stuff that went into storage.
