So they recorded the moonlanding on goatskin? All jokes aside, I see your point, but applying it to the moon landing is a little far fetched.

Not at all, in the 1970's those tapes easily cost a month's of an average workers wages. It would make perfect sense to re-use them to save a bit of money, especially if you were doing it at scale and didn't realize you were about to erase the master copies.
