Lost moon tapes found in German observatory

The German penchant for never ever wanting to throw anything away has apparently led to the recovery of one of the world’s rarest videotape collections: original images of the Apollo moon landings. The discovery of these lost episodes, so-to-speak, is all the more valuable as NASA, in another bold and original move, somehow managed to misplace its original originals in a labyrinth of archives. How original.

These images, picked up by a 20 meter wide radio telescope in Bochum, are considered vital in planning future trips to the moon as well as disproving an urban legend which claims that the American moon landings never happened. As anyone can see here, a vintage 60s American automobile is clearly visible upon the moon’s surface, for instance. The German tapes also reveal the captured images of moon dust-covered Gartenzwerge and empty Nutella glasses.

Ich finde “Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück” am besten.
