Oops! NASA Reacquires Original Moon Landing Footage
NASA has seemingly confirmed that the original taped recordings of the first Moon landing have turned up in Australia - almost three years after the agency admitted it had carelessly mislaid them.
The Parkes Observatory in Australia captured the 1969 live images straight from the lunar surface to magnetic tape. What the US public saw, though was a compressed feed "downsized" to local TV resolutions, while NASA itself grabbed a 16mm copy from a TV monitor.
The Parkes Observatory tapes were apparently shipped to the Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland a year after

(Editorial)
Researchers from Brown University have found huge valleys on the surface of Mars that look as though they have been created by flowing water. These valleys which are more than 800 feet wide and tens of miles long have shown up on images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. If these valleys are truly the result of erosion then they are proof that Mars once flowed with water. The proof of the e
