NASA lost the telemetry tapes containing the recording of the raw video data transmitted by the Apollo 11 mission. However, all the data was also safely recorded elsewhere.
Flat-Earthers make a big deal out of this incident to discredit the Apollo mission. In reality:
- The only lost data was the raw video before the conversion to NTSC for TV broadcasting.
- Only the raw data was lost, but there are other recordings of the same footage.
- Apollo missions other than Apollo 11 were not affected.
- There is no lost video that has never been seen.
- NASA discovered high-quality recordings of the same video.
