The tapes you talk about were from a video broadcast during the Apollo 11 landing. It wasn't "all the data" it was the video broadcast backup tape and nobody at the time thought it was all that important. We didn't lose all the data, just that tape. Plenty of data came back from those expeditions. In fact we continue to gather data from those expeditions.OMG you poor dear. Hey did you ever get to see or test those rocks for yourself ? or did you just believe what you are told.
Are you seriously telling me you are clueless to the Apollo 11 telemetry data tape...now poof gone, missing, erased, vanished "whatever the fuck" for ever. I'm thinking you are not ready to have this conversation.
I'm still liking you
The problem with cynicism is that it stops with doubt. Did you know that several experiments were conducted using instruments left behind on the moon that continued to send data back to earth decades later. I'll bet you never even tried to learn about what all has been gathered from these expeditions. To this day, reflector arrays left behind by the four missions where we landed are used to accurately measure the distance and change in orbit by the moon. It's an international science experiment. The center for the study is in Germany. Lasers beam light to the moon and the arrays reflect the light back. Have I seen the reflectors personally, no, I haven't but I have no reason to doubt the studies. These aren't top secret programs, countries around the world participate in them.

Why do you believe satellites circle the earth but can't believe we went to the moon?
