To be fair, the technology of the space shuttle (my dad worked on the prototype Enterprise) is leaps and bounds beyond that which we used to get to the moon. Did you ever see Apollo 13? It's accurate, they practically had to graph their descent path, write all their variables down and solve for X. It was analog space travel, like using an abacus instead of a calculator.

The technology was prehistoric but I don't doubt that we went there. You can't keep a secret that big for this long, especially considering the amount of people that would been involved in such a staging. It's common sense, the same thing I personally use to debunk all those retarded 9/11 conspiracy theories [tangent] - do you mean to tell me that the government (or someone else?) had all those poor people on the planes taken from the airport, put in a room, told to call their loved ones and say that terrorists had hijacked their plane, and then had them simply disappear? And what of the hijackers? How were they (or someone else) forced to fly airplanes into buildings? Could any sane individual REALLY believe that someone in the government would kill 3,000 people and go through all this trouble... for what? To start a prolonged war on unfamiliar soil, any possible economic benefits of which would be crushed by the costs of the war itself?

Wait, haven't libs always been saying that Pres. Bush is stupid and childish? But other libs think he's an evil, diabolical mastermind? Which is it?[/tangent]

Back to the topic at hand, I find it stunning that someone so irresponsible could be entrusted to keep track of something so important. I hope this gets found someday, it would be a real damn shame if it's still sitting in some basement by the time The Man Upstairs starts His comeback tour...

Really there are only two LIKELY possibilities:

1) It was misfiled and will turn up on a different shelf during a thorough search

2) It was pilfered by an insider and it will turn up at some point in the future after the person who took it can't be in jeopardy for theft anymore

The Apollo moon landing is arguably the greatest single event achievement of humanity to date and the original film of its happening would be a profound loss.
