This is all nonsense. It wasn’t CGI at all. They faked the Moon landings, but they did it on the Moon. We’ve been there since the Twenties, ever since they perfected Tesla’s antigravity engine.
Naturally, the whole idea is to make space travel look much harder than it really is, so that people aren’t demanding to go up as tourists. There’s no way they could hide the Harvester ships coming and going with their cargos of abductees if unapproved people were allowed into space. And if they revealed the Tesla Drive and it’s ability to draw power from the Earth’s magnetic field lines, it would destroy the transportation and petrochemical industries; there’s no way they’d let it become public.
So instead, we are treated to a pageant of giant, incredibly expensive rockets, and a dead moon that doesn’t even have an atmosphere. Suuure it doesn’t.
If the Soviets didn’t have radio, how did they invent the Beatles, whose sole purpose was to destroy American society with loud music and drug use? Does this mean the Soviets faked their moon landings to draw attention away from the death of Paul McCartney?
They didn’t invent the Beatles. They faked the Beatles. The Beatles so called music is fake music. If you strip away the guitar, drums and singing, there’s nothing actually there.
You almost got it right.
At the beginning of the space race our top people knew that there was no way make it to the moon. so the decision was made to fake the moon landings.
Unfortunately CGI technology was so primitive that it was impossible to make it look even half way real.
That left the United States with only one option. It became necessary to actually build all that hardware that they had been making models of, and go to the moon in order to fake the fake moon landing.
It’s really a classic bit of deception if you think about it
ETA: Post #7500! Woot!
I think it was because they finally had to kill all of the support staff inolved. The astronauts were glad to keep quiet and bask in the adulation, but the people behind the scenes started talking too much.
Not to mention replacing them with perfect dopplegangers. Some, including Gene Kranz and John Aaron, are still living. God only knows where the original bodies are buried.
If the Soviet moon shots were also hoaxed, why weren’t they manned? I mean, no one paid any attention to unmanned flights, especially after the Apollo 11 hoax. So why’d they even bother to do those unmanned hoaxes? Not enough money? If they couldn’t afford a manned hoax, why’d they even waste their money on a unmanned one?
Something smells fishy here…
Another thing. Why hasn’t NASA done a manned Mars hoax yet? They keep doing all these unmanned Mars hoaxes, but no manned ones. Don’t tell me they can’t afford that either.
Somewhere in there is a Joseph Heller novel screaming to get out.
The problem is the time delay. See, for a real mission to Mars there would be a time lag of several minutes at the longest distance, but getting the actors to be patient enough to sit and wait before responding would be impossible. (See Capricorn One.) And besides, they’ve already torn down the soundstage in Burbank to build condos, so there’s no place to film it.
Because the fake Mars footage is filmed on the Moon using a red filter, duh!
They have to use tiny little models of the rovers so that the horizon of the much smaller Moon appears to have the right curvature for Mars. If you filmed people in spacesuits there the scale would be all wrong and the hoax obvious.
Not sure how the subject arose, but years ago I tentatively asked a co-worker whether he believed the moon landings were a hoax— “of COURSE it was faked,” he scoffed, as though only an idiot to think otherwise. He did, however, insist that only the first moon landing was faked, simply as an expedient to appear beat the Soviets there, but that subsequent landings were legitimate.
He also claimed (long before the “Loose Change” and 9/11 Truth malignancy developed online— in fact, within a day or two after the event happened) that the WTC attacks were intentionally carried out by our own leaders in order to establish martial law, or as he phrased it “another Reichstag fire.”
(Which did not, and has not since made much sense to me, being that he self-identified as a libertarian but was a pretty vocal supporter of the Bush administration and leaned right in general; maybe he thought the Clintons planned 9/11. I never had the chance to investigate further and we haven’t spoken in years.)
This is true. It’s shaped like an aspirin tablet. The equator is a physical groove - if you pressed a knife there, the Earth would split into two pieces to make it easier to swallow.
