If you actually read a paper or watch the news... the tapes are not lost in the sense that they can't possibly be found, or that they have no idea where they are...
Simply put, records that old have been moved around, and analyzed many times over 40 years! You try finding an old home video that old... bet you can't.
NASA has made it clear that they have asked all centers to check their archives for the videos... NASA has thousands upon thousands of video, audio, and data information...
BESIDES that, just because the original is not available at the moment doesn't mean that thousands of copies of the famous Moon-walk are not available at the drop of the hat...
Hundreds of thousands of people have the video on their computers, on video, and many other media... If NASA really "lost" the video as you are implying what would be the reason? Especially when all you have to do is search the internet, and you'll pull up thousands of sites with the video ready for download...
It's Occam's Razor...
What's the simplest explaination? That hundreds of thousand of NASA employees and contractors are ammased in a huge government cover-up and noone has EVER come forward... or that we really did go to the Moon...
The truth will set you free...

And here it is...I guess I have been looking hard enough cause this is the first question that has the conspiracy theory undertones. I was wondering how long it would take for me to see one after I read that article.
Here is an anology that may help you understand how a tape could get lost. Go to a college library. Look at how many books they have. Now think of what would happen if a book was not put back where it belonged. Now think of how many tapes NASA would have in its archives.

It would be more like the way good movies and tapes get "lost" at a local library. It either gets put away in the wrong place by someone, or someone knicks it.
I am NOT going to go on about the moonlanding and whether it is real or an elaborate hoax. I'll just say I believe it happened and that's that!

Aaah, now I understand why they want to go to the moon again: They need to make a new tape....
But seriously, I think this is either just a typical civil-servant-like screw-up (considering how H U G E NASA's archive must be),
or some very wealthy collector managed to have it "stolen" for his/her collection.

Don't really care either way. I lost my old 8 track tapes too. There are copies anyway so who cares.

Unlikely. The tapes must have been stolen or never existed.

Of course it can...
Can your house catch fire? Of course, it's unlikely...
If this was 10 years ago... and I said, can we get attacked on our homeland?
It's not impossible.
If you're suggesting that we never went to the moon, you're dead wrong.

I wondered about that, seems pretty convenient.
