No he wasn't, but apparently the director of the movie With Eyes Wide Shut was. His wife claims he was anyway. Disney also filmed a fake moon or mars landing in the mid to late 50's. Stars wars was filmed in 1976 and released in 77, only 7 years after the first landing, and look how real some of the space scenes in that movie was.

He's so willing to do it doesn't want to give out his phone # or mailing address. Did he walk on the moon or just go to space..? Well, I'm really not supposed to give out his phone number. But if you promise that you'll pay for the test I'll post it. but you have to promise

The Kubrik reference is a piece culled from a mockumentary in which the makers detailed their ruse at the end of the program IIRC.

The truth is right there in front of you! It's true. NASA makes all its astronauts watch star wars in order to get them ready for spaceflight. Lesson 1: flying through space ain't like dusting crops boy.

In 1955, Walt Disney made 3 TV movies with Wernher von Braun as technical director: Man in Space, First Men to the Moon, and Journey to Mars. The TV movies looked so realistic that the millions who watched them were brainwashed into believing that they were real! Von Braun was a Nazi SS major. A war criminal. He was brought to America to develop the rocket. He headed the space program for the Pentagon. Wernher Von Braun was one of a group of 7 Nazi rocketeers who arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 18, 1945. The young man who stepped off the C54 cargo plane thought of himself as an immigrant who like many before him came to America to pursue his dream, build a new life, and leave behind crimes of the past. His arrival at Newcastle Army Air Base in Wilmington, Delaware, on September 18, 1945 was a second birth, and the official circumstance was a baptism that cleansed him of the original sin of his first life. He arrived not as a free man, however, but in the custody of the United States Army. He was one of a group of seven German rocket experts, the vanguard of a larger team that the Army recruited under Operation Overcast (later renamed Project Paperclip) to exploit for their technical expertise.He was the senior member of the group although not the oldest, and he had been its leader in Germany since the beginning, even before the Nazis came to power. In 1952, the Pentagon assigned Wernher von Braun a ghostwriter and he wrote several articles for Rockefeller owned Collier's magazine about space travel and journeys to the moon and Mars: After WW II, ex-Nazis were not very popular in the U.S. Especially war criminals like Wernher von Braun. If he was to lead the Pentagon space program, he would need an image overhaul. This is where Walt Disney entered the picture. Disney had a snow white image and nobody would suspect him of working with SS Nazis rocketeers. In 1954, Walt Disney of Mickey Mouse fame liked the Collier's magazine articles so much that he decided to hire von Braun as a technical directoron of Tomorrowland at his new theme park in California called Disneyland. Here is a quote about just one of the dangers of space travel from scientist von Braun in his 1960 book: First Men to the Moon. Finally, there is the Van Allen Radiation Belt (page 69). Just a little over a year ago we didn't even know it existed. Explorer I, equipped to measure the intensity of the previously mentioned cosmic radiation, gave us the first indication that there was something completely unsuspected up there. Two more Explorers unveiled the fact that the earth is surrounded with two concentric, doughnut-shaped rings of trapped radiation. Electrically charged particles apparently mainly electrons; endlessly circle around and up and down the magnetic field lines which connect the magnetic North and South Poles like a grid of meridians. When a rocket flies through this belt the trapped electrons impinge on its skin like raindrops hitting an aircraft which is flying through the clouds. Very much in the same fashion as the impinging raindrops cause sound waves audible within the airplane cabin, the impinging electrons produce an electromagnetic radiation inside the cabin. Physicists use for this kind of radiation the German word bremsstrahlung (slow-down radiation), but it is actually something quite similar to X-rays. It is this bremsstrahlung that we have to watch in the Belt.

And make screaming noises when they pass by, unless they're the ones that go "vroom vroom."

The TV movies looked so realistic that the millions who watched them were brainwashed into believing that they were real! Speak for yourself. I distinctly remember watching the Disney movies when I was no more than 8 and I never thought they were real. Of course, I was paying attention to what actually was happening at the time ... (this was in the '60s). I won''t even touch the rest of that post. It looks like you are just trying to annoy people again.

Moon Man,
You agreed to discuss one item at a time and a special thread was created just for that purpose. If you want to discuss other stuff, then please add it to your list and we'll discuss it at the proper time. What's the point of establishing ground rules if you're just going to jump into other threads and start talking about a bunch of different things at once. We’ll never get anything resolved that way. Let's stay focused on one topic, and right now the topic is batteries.

Ah yes, we're back to Von Braun's SS connection. If you can't win the technology debate (and I'm using the word debate very loosely), just attack the character of some of the major players!

At this point I'd be happy if Moon Man just answered how long the lunar day was....(and showed some signs of understanding why)
