As Neil Armstrong prepared to take his 'one small step' onto the moon in July 1969, a specially hardened video camera tucked into the lander's door clicked on to capture that first human contact with the lunar surface. Millions of television viewers around the world saw those fuzzy, moving images.
What they didn't know was that the Apollo 11 camera had actually sent back video far crisper and more dramatic spectacular images that, remarkably, only a handful of people have ever seen. Only in recent years was the agency reminded of what it once had - clean first-man-on-the-moon video images that could be especially valuable now that NASA is planning a return trip.
About 36 years after the tapes went into storage, NASA was suddenly eager to have them. There was just one problem:
The tapes were nowhere to be found.

Here's another article about the tapes from November 2006 that claims they have been found.

Thanks Michael.
sebuah kamera video yang dikeraskan khusus dimasukkan ke dalam pintu pendayung yang diklik untuk menangkap hubungan manusia pertama dengan permukaan bulan. Berjuta-juta penonton televisyen di seluruh dunia melihat imej yang kabur dan bergerak itu.
