The original film of man's first steps on the Moon has been lost.

The footage of Neil Armstrong's historic moment is one of the most important artefacts of the 20th century. And it's lost.

While the television broadcast seen by 600 million people in July 1969 is preserved for posterity, the original tapes from which the footage was taken have been mislaid in the vast archive of the United States space agency Nasa.
