I did one of those "That's so ridiculous" laughs, and I literally HURT my stomach doing it. Oh my GOD that's cute.

It's really not that hard to imagine.

You should see some of the governments storage areas.

Oh well, they can always just use the old sets and costumes and reshoot it with body doubles.

I work for United Space Alliance which is a contractor for NASA. We are working on a project right now called record retention which is the storing of old magnetic tape reels like this so I guess my job has meaning!

NASA must be taking its cues from George Lucas.

you do realize that with all the magnetic tape NASA has, it is quite easy to loose stuff. and this is just the master tapes, i am sure there are probably lots of first and second generation copies around, the master is just wanted for the sake of history. ( I mean, even old tv studios can have troiuble keeping track of their old tapes.)
