The tapes were then shipped to a NASA operations center near Washington, the Goddard Space Flight Center.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 22px;"> In late 1969, the space agency began transferring them and tens of thousands of tapes from other space missions to a nearby US government archives warehouse. NASA says it asked for them back in the 1970s, but now does not know where they are.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 22px;"> "I probably am overly sensitive to the word 'lost.' I did not feel they are lost," said Richard Nafzger, a Goddard Space Flight Center engineer who was in charge of television processing from all of NASA's ground receiving sites.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 22px;"> The space agency has authorized him to set aside his other duties for the foreseeable future and devote his time to the hunt for the tapes. Nafzger says they are stored somewhere.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 22px; color: rgb(237, 35, 8);">答案:BA</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p>
