“That’s the furthest thing from the truth,” Wood told SPACE.com. “There are no lost Apollo video tapes,” he emphasized.

[...]

Wood said he doubts the tapes have been trashed. On the other hand, there’s a 50/50 chance they were recycled.


“Since telemetry recording tapes back then cost $90 to $100 a reel … well, that was back when $100 dollars was $100 dollars,” Wood said. A magnetic rehab center at Goddard, he said, may have wiped the tapes clean—a budget-saving measure for reuse of the recording tapes.


“What we’re hoping, though, is that somebody, maybe, might have saved some of them,” Wood added. “We want to interest people to see something better than it happened at the time.”
