Subject: Apollo 17 audio tapes - great, but, curious tech issues:
The .WAV files - some - are curiously backwards! I only checked the very last one, #66 - which is indicated as: 830, I believe (screen has cleared here for this review..)
This is really fine thing someone did, and I thank you for doing it.
Since these are digital files, it probably only requires some time, and a simple C-program to reverse the data in the file - but rather than me experimenting, maybe someone has a utility program (or someone can point me to one?) to do this?
I thought it would be interesting to hear the last mission audio, from the last Moon mission - but the entire file seems to be recorded backwards!
I'm curious how this could even could happen.
Also - obvious question - are there not any video recordings of the images? I was looking at the data for Apollo 10, and noticed that the audio is from Apollo mission 9, when one listens.
But the topic under discussion, was the TV image quality. Are the video images somewhere? Or have they been lost?
This is a really good thing to have done - Most people don't have *any* memory of Apollo 10, so it is good to have actual data from it - really anything at all... And Apollo 17 was last trans-planetary mission, in which humans actually went exploring.
Apollo 17 was just an amazing mission - any archive data which can be obtained is very good to have.
I'll take a run at fixing 830, since I would like to hear it.
If I get it fixed, I will try to upload it. - Rus.

I have spent the past 4 years merging the audio provided here with the mission photography, film, and television broadcasts. The result is a real-time recreation of the Apollo 17 mission that you can find at Apollo17.org

Subject: Mercury-Gemini-Apollo Update Request
John, many thanks for your great work in making all these audio files available. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to have an update on the situation regarding the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo files? Have they all now been posted, or are there still more to come?
Merry Christmas to you - and indeed all at NASA and elsewhere. And here's to a happy 2015.
Colin.

This really is a wonderful project - and full marks to John Stoll.
