Washington, D.C.
NASA can’t find its original recording of astronaut Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon, the space agency said this week. The loss was announced after a year’s search failed to turn up 700 boxes of original transmissions from the Apollo missions of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The landing is preserved on recordings of television broadcasts, but those are of lower quality than NASA’s original tapes. NASA says its search will continue.
