Ah-HA!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!! :tongue:

Austrailia got the best feed in 1969 and had the best picture. From there, they sent the transmission to houston where it lost its sharpness along the way. I wonder if they will ever find out who it was that erased the original footage? Good thing it wasn't all lost by being kept in the same place. I keep looking at neil Armstrong reading the plaque and i keep seeing what looks like GLASSES under his helmet. I think it may be reflection but they move with his head when his outer helmet stays still and his head moves inside the helmet.

there is a very good movie about this (australia's part in covering the landing). Its called "the Dish" and it stars Sam Niel and Patrick Warburton

That movie is a little gem! It is hard to believe that NASA lost or erased the tapes, but as someone who oversees a sizable library of archival video and film going back 55 years, I can tell you that stuff does indeed disappear over the years. I've read that the first few seasons of "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" don't exist because the tapes were recorded over. That was the mindset during the early years of videotape - unlike film, you could re-use it. Ain't technology grand?

I have looked at Neil & Buzz reading the plaque and it really looks like neil is wearing glasses under his visor, does anyone else see this ?

He prolly forgot to take them off prior to sealing up the helmet for the next take in the HollyWood production "First Men On The Moon". Nothing major. I write it off as a basic continuity error of the times.











I keeed! I keeeeeed! :tongue:

Man, all I can make out are reflections.

I don't see Armstrong wearing any glasses -- but I can make out a movie camera, a boom mike, a bunch of studio lights, the wires used to simulate lunar gravity, a soundstage door, and a director with a megaphone!

It's a FAKE!!! :p

Then take a look at these.

This oughta fuel the conspiracy people....

Conspiracy? Nah!

Stupidity and incompetence are more likely. Then again, I'll wager some old NASA librarian has an EXCELLENT copy of the first moon landing. What a collectible! That has to rank right up there with Michael Jackson's brain or (for a short time) Charlie Chaplin's body.:drunk:

Nope, don't see Armstrong wearing glasses on those either. :D
