Things get lost.... but how 700 boxes of it? Stupid government agencies.

they're in my basement.

I've known about that for weeks... =3
But what I wanna know is why the tapes we saw were downgraded quality of what was actaully a very crisp footage?

[Grav]

Isn't it explained right on that link?

Because the magnetic storage they used at the time was not compatible with the method used for TV, so they shot a camera at their own monitor. It's like taking a screenshot of your screen with a digital camera instead of pressing print screen. The quality is shit.

[Atnas]

Oh... I better tell my conspiracy-crazed phsyco of a father that thats the reason and not what he thinks as a 'cover-up'. Sheesh, to think I listened to him rant about it and wasted a perfectly good sunday morning... Never believe what a crazy person says, they always say.

So how can you be sure whether or not to believe them?

[Willkillforfood]

Maybe they accidentally landed on Mars instead and tried to cover it up ;).

[Atnas]

I actaully believe that. Now I know where ice cream comes from. =D

[Acer]

I don't even know if I should beleive that the moons exists at all

[Lenny]

If a group of astronomers get their way, then Pluto's moon will technically be a planet, as will our Moon.

[Willkillforfood]

Where does it say that our Moon will be a planet? Charon and Pluto dance around a point not inside Pluto as they orbit the sun.

[Lenny]

It's just something I read.

I like to call that group the Moonies, or Mooners. Or the Loonies. Whichever takes your fancy.

They're all mad - they want the term "Planet" defined officially. The definition meaning that another 30 or 40 objects would be classified as planets.

[gruesomeBODY]

i heard that they might add 3 planets to our solar system.

[Demosthenes]

If a group of astronomers get their way, then Pluto's moon will technically be a planet, as will our Moon.

You talking about this article?: http://edition.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/08/18/moon.planet/

If so, I think there's still a while before our moon becomes a planet. :p

[Lenny]

That's the one! :)

I can see why it might become so, but it's weird.
