The lost NASA tapes: Restoring lunar images after 40 years in thevault
 
Liquid nitrogen, vegetable steamers, Macintosh workstations and old,
refrigerator-size tape drives.

These are just some of the tools a new breed of Space Age
archeologists is using to sift through

the digital debris from the early days of NASA, mining the information
in ways unimaginable when it

was first gathered four decades ago.

The Moon We Left Behind
 
Michael Crichton once wrote that if you told a physicist in 1899 that
within a hundred years humankind would, among other wonders (nukes,
commercial airlines), "travel to the moon, and then lose
interest . . . the physicist would almost certainly pronounce you
mad."
