Then, trying to say that "The Shining" had something to do with "2001"?? What nonsense...Kubrick took Stephen King's novel, and embellished it....which didn't sit too well with Mr. King. Writers are funny that way, it is a long-known trait of all writers, especially when their works are being adapted to other media....even a screenwriter gets his/her fur ruffled, when others want to change things in what he/she wrote.

If you pay attention to the credits, the screenplay for "2001: A Space Odyssey" gives sole credit to Kubrick. The book, came after (timed almost simultaneously with the movie's release) is based on the movie....in fact, Clarke was writing it during the production of the film....from only partial pages of the shooting script, that Kubrick provided.

how do you explain the amatuer ham radio operators needing to aim their equipment at the moon to listen to the transmissions ?
it was also very clever how he planted the mirror on the moon and managed to get his hands on all those rocks without going to the moon
the most impressive part tho is how he managed to get 100,000 NASA employees to keep quiet.

It was called EYES Wide Shut, for what it is worth.
Do I believe the moon landing was faked? No... But, I guess I can see how if any director was going to fake it, he would be the man to ask.
1.) You would not need men on the moon to fool ham radio transmissions at that time. You could do it with satellites which we already had.
2.) You would not need men on the moon to land a craft with a reflective surface on the moon at that time. Moon rocks make it to earth all the time naturally.
3.) You in no possible way would need to inform everyone at NASA of what you are doing, much in the way that the president is not in the know on many government black op projects, it is a need to know basis and just as easy to dupe employees as it is the public.

I'm not a ham operator, so I'll give you that. You have to admit your argument against the mirrors and rocks is weak at best. All it is missing is one shred of evidence. One. It always makes me laugh becuae it would be more difficult to do that than to just put a man up there.
Are you proposing the "rover" was sent in conjunction with the apollo missions and then somehow re-connected with them in time for re-entry or that they were seperate missions ?
Either way you are proposing an extraordinarily difficult mission (I'm guessing the tired old radiation argument even tho Van Allen himself said it wouldn't be a problem) or a totally seperate mission of a rocket large enough to reach the moon that was totally undetected by everyone on the planet. All without a shred of evidence of course. Can you show us the "rover" ?
as far as the NASA thing, ok, maybe not every employee, but what about the people involved in the supposed filming ? where are those people ? where was the studio ? Do you have any specific dates it was filmed or where ?
it's easy to try to tear things down, I never see the HB's try to construct a detailed description of how the "movie" was made. Might be the complete lack of evidence ?

WHICH "documentary"?
If you could watch the documentary, I think you would like it.
The one by Jay Weidner?? Weidner is a kook......I can't believe anyone is foolish enough to take him seriously...

Good post, I will admit that some of what he says is "reaching" but once you have stumbled on the most basic fundamental lie, is it not human nature to explore further because of the mistrust that lie implies?
You will not be able to find "Kubrick's Odyssey" via the internet as it is copyrighted material and I agree that you should not withhold information for the good of mankind to turn a profit but I must admit, the information in this documentary is compelling.
You must understand encoding in messages, this practice has been incorporated since modern man has been around and if done correctly is an art form in and of itself, Kubrick was basically the grand master of this and since there was so much at stake the mastery of what exactly he did, was nothing short of amazing.
I really don't want to discuss the entire documentary but I will start here. The first movie that he produced that was going on the same time as the Apollo moon landing was 2001: A space Odyssey. The monolith in that movie was representative of a theater screen, the music that played during the appearance of the monolith only happened during the moments of mankind's "evolution" of understanding and set the stage for people to keep a better eye out for symbolism and meaning in his future films.
The evidence is there in almost all of his other feature films in high contrast. It is a brilliant attempt at spilling a secret that had weighed heavily on his sole and his mortal life, in fact, he died on the day he wanted Eyes wide shut released and that movie was heavily edited before being released after his death and even so there are mass tell tale signs of the "Illuminati" or masonic people that ruled his life for so long and the life he lived hanging in the balance between being an insider yet still always on the outside.
Kind of like being invited to a party by the hosts girlfriend, you have the right to be there but your never really comfortable with it and neither is everyone else.

You guys have got to see this one. Here is the one hour press conference after Apollo 11 returned to Earth. In it, you can obviously see the sadness and guilt on the faces of Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin as they speak before reporters. It's undeniable.
The facts of the actual pictures and video stand alone. These can not be dissected without finding glaring holes in there production values and authenticity. They are blatantly fake, not in that time period but in this time period, they do not stand the test of time under scrutiny and NASA refuses to address any of the claims. They refuse not because of a futility of the argument but because it can not be explained other than an admitting of guilt which we all know they will not do. It is far easier to attack the credibility of anyone who questions things than to provide answers as to the evidence itself.
