You're kidding, right? Their budget has been slashed since the 60s. And what is left they don't get to just use on whatever they want. Every part of their budget is set aside for specific items.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69823837 They took 3 cars to the moon at a cost of 38 million dollars, not having money for tapes to document the single most important event since Columbus, Yeager or Lindberg is complete indefensible bullshit. The profits from the sale of rights to Life Magazine alone would have covered permanent archival without additional public funds. Im not saying that the moon landing was a hoax, but you have to do better than that piss-poor excuse. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69905763 all the photos are in the public domain. Where'd you get the idea they sold any rights? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65695781 Life bought rights to the astronauts personal stories for every mission excluding the STS. Millions of dollars directly into NASA hands, the crews got only a very tiny fraction, NASA kept the rest. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66078622 citation needed. I have trouble believing that profits from rights to PERSONAL stories would go to a government agency. and it isn't that there wasn't enough money to buy new tapes. There was a shortage of tapes because the manufacturer couldn't make enough.
