I just came across an interesting article on the Reality Sandwich website written by Jay Weidner, entitled "How Stanley Kubrick Faked the Apollo Moon Landings."
The premise is that for many years since the Apollo moon landings, conspiracy theorists have been saying that the moon landings were faked. This is due to the style of lighting as seen in the NASA archives photography, strange reflections in some of the shots, and more simply, that some people do not believe we had the technology to actually fly there, land and safely return to Earth.
Author Jay Weidner presents another option, and goes on to theorize that the Apollo program was real, and humans did go to the moon, but the photographs and what the public saw on TV was faked.
And faked by none other than fillmmaker Stanley Kubrick!
The author contends that by using "front screen projection," the astronauts (or other elements) could be made to appear as if they are in front of a "scene" such as a moonscape. This same technique was used in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey for many of the scenes in the film, such as the beginning of the film with the apes. Using still images from the 2001 DVD, the author shows various examples of how and where the projection screen seams are covered up. He also shows the same techniques (in his opinion) applied to still images from the NASA Apollo archives.
It is also interesting to note that both Kubrick and NASA used 70mm film as the format of choice. Motion picture film in the case of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and 70mm film for the large format Hassleblad cameras used by the NASA astronauts.
The author also goes on to note that with a larger format film, such as 70mm used to photograph the moon landings, the depth of field should have been very shallow. This would indicate that objects in the foreground of a photograph would be in focus, whereas objects in the background (such as distant mountain ranges) would be out of focus. But instead, we see sharp details from the foreground, all the way to the background of the photographs taken on the moon's surface.
Jay Weidner also explains the "Glass Cities" phenomenon, as well as the inconsistent shadows in many of the photographs, and who may have actually financed Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Also, author Richard C. Hoagland (along with co-author Mike Bara) has a book entitled, "Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA", which reveals that NASA has concealed its secret history of occult origins, plus a multitude of other surprises, such as NASA's withholding data of non-human intelligence.
Note that the show Mythbusters actually devoted an entire episode to whether the Moon landing was fake. They recreated the famous footprint on the dirt (to show that it is possible to make a deep impression on the Moon's surface), as well as a few of the famous astronaut shots (to show if the lighting from the Sun / Earth was accurately captured in the NASA photographs), and how a stiff flag could "wave" if there is no wind on the Moon. (They appeared to have debunked the myth that we did not land on the Moon, but who is sponsoring their show?)
I highly recommend watching the recently relaesed film from http://sacredmysteries.com/ called "Kubrick's Odyssey: Secrets hidden in the films of Stanley Kubrick". These theories are well adressed, and the methods are illuminated as well. If you have wondered about the deep connection of Stanley Kubrick and the moon landings, this film is a must see! The details concerning “The Shining” are mind blowing....
ReplyDeleteThere is a book I am about to read called, "Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA", by Richard C. Hoagland. Should be intriguing as well.
