well, one could fabricate a story for any reason they want, but yes, making one up from way back when in that era seems a little less plausible...
i heard there was supposed to be a "Hollow Earth Expedition" last year, but it was cancelled...

also, is it true that satellites can't fly over the poles because there's no mass there to keep them in orbit?
The reason no polar orbiting satellites can fly over the polar opening is because there is no mass there to exert a gravitation acceleration towards the earth to keep them in orbit. ...the very first satellites put in polar orbit were lost because they had not taken into account the existence there of a polar opening into the earth's interior. Therefore, all subsequent polar orbiting satellites have had to be put in orbit so that they do not go over the polar opening.

"Location and Size of the Polar Openings" (very interesting read!)

My friend Ivars recently sent me an image that a security guard snapped with his cell phone camera off a NORAD computer screen showing the flight paths of all the polar orbiting satellites. The interesting part of this image is that on the Russian side of the pole, there are no orbiting satellites between about 115 degrees E Lon and 155 degree E Lon. You can see North Land, Russia jutting out into the Arctic Ocean opposite the geographic pole. This is the strongest evidence I have seen that the polar opening is located on the Russian side of the pole.
this is getting rather interesting now...

The craft was placed in its planned Sun-synchronous 102-degree inclination retrograde orbit.
