Lol like how NASA "accidentally overwrote" the original tapes of the moon landing. Like what the fuck. I think NASA is fairly legit, and but that bit of news just makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Although I guess they did build a probe and forgot to convert from imperial to metric with one of their sub-contractors which caused the probe to crash... but still that's a much more easy mistake to make then over writing the original tapes. I mean could they not afford a file cabinet and label it with a sharpie and put a padlock on it? Seesh

I suppose a backup tape would have been needless expense...

That reminds me "LOST DOCUMENTS"! Can we think of any other documents which were conveniently unavailable. i.e. for addition to https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Missing_documents

I just don't know why you would ever delete the original. It's an artifact of human history... It should be in a museum or something
