How does one misplace 700 (read: SEVEN HUNDRED) boxes worth of materials pertaining to one of your country's most significant events?

P.S. - I do actually believe we went to the moon. This is just comedy gold for anyone who doesn't though.

It happens when they were transferred over 30 years ago from the national archives to NASA's storage facilities without the wonderful aid of barcode scanning and computerized inventory tracking. They're there somewhere...just exactly where is the problem. I'd volunteer to search for them...

Is it an underground storage? I'd imagine it being several acres with just nothing but boxes as far as the eye could see.

It doesn't matter if they're lost forever. They're probably unusable anyways -- they've probably degraded far beyond recovery.
