I hear that model of the space shuttle is "missing" too. So NASA misplaced the original footage of the first moon landings, and if I'm head administrator Mike Griffin, the first thing I'm doing is blaming Sally "Sticky Fingers" Ride: The television broadcast seen by about 600 million people in July 1969 is preserved for posterity, but the original tapes from which the footage was taken have been mislaid, most likely in NASA's vast archives at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.... Rather than prizing the tapes as vital recordings, NASA simply filed them away. As personnel retired or died, the location of the tapes was forgotten.
