Well Apollo cost us 20 billion so thats about 1.5 million per tape. Sounds about right, and this from the government that wants to manage healthcare. It was all for show anyway the United States manned space program is a joke. China and India will know what to do with the knowledge they gain.
The aliens took the tapes. The illegal aliens.
Wait till china goes to the moon, takes our moon buggy back home- re-engineers it- then sells copies for 5K each back to us. Great, just great.
LOL @ hawker,
That is so true man.
I don't know why people are freaking out, the tapes were just taken for "cleaning" is all. :-)
