[QUOTE="nickrulercreator, post: 174740, member: 10256"] Because we did record over the first moon landing, the high-definition copy of it at least. The low definition copy that people saw on TV as it happened exists just fine, and was actually restored for the 40th anniversary of the landing. It wasn't done to save space. The most likely scenario was this. In the late 80's, NASA's Landsat program was facing a severe shortage of data tapes, as digital records hadn't been implemented yet. Following standard procedure, the HD copy of the moonwalk was recorded over for the Landsat program. Why was this done? Well, the HD copy was most likely recorded on tapes intended as backups incase the real-time broadcast conversion didn't work (this was the one seen on TV around the world). Luckily, the conversion broadcast did work, and the HD backups were deemed unnecessary. Was it short-sighted and not well thought out? Sure, I can't admit it wasn't. Was it done because magnetic tape is expensive? No, it was done because there was a shortage and NASA had usable tapes. [/QUOTE]
