Did you know Stanley Kubrick directed the footage of the so-called 'moon landings' ?

I'd like to see you say that to Buzz Aldrin.

Would that be the same Buzz that has suffered ever since he 'went to the moon' with alcoholism and mental illness

Keeping a secret this big is bound to f**k your head up

It wasn't possible in 1969

It's not even possible now

It may never be possible

Lol, okay.

Please do elaborate, lofthouse.

Well for starters the radiation would kill you before you even got near the moon

"Perhaps the biggest slip of the tongue was made by NASA Chief Dan Goldin when interviewed by UK TV journalist Sheena McDonald in 1994. He said that mankind cannot venture beyond Earth orbit, 250 miles into space, until they can find a way to overcome the dangers of cosmic radiation. He must have forgot that they supposedly sent 27 astronauts 250,000 miles outside Earth orbit 36 years earlier."

I think Kubrick's connection with the fake moon landing mumbo jumbo is this- When he was making Barry Lyndon in pre-digital camera days, Kubrick wanted to shoot interior scenes without artificial light and rely on natural candle light that would have been used in the 18th century and give the scenes the look of a Gainsborough painting.

His camera men told him to forget it but Kubrick was curious as to how NASA managed to film the moon landings. He then borrowed their bespoke super fast lenses (the Zeiss lens) which has the lowest aperture f-stop ever used on a feature film.

So would the lack of oxygen and vacuum pressure. That's why they wear spacesuits; which are like deep-sea diving suits. Do you not believe in deep-sea divers either?

Moon, sea, traffic lights, people as visual - everything is imagination.

It's mass hysteria passed down in the DNA through the ages. A language that has been so often repeated that everyone thinks it is reality.

Nothing is external. When they say there are parts of the universe yet to be seen, what they mean is that there is just a bit of a language gap there in the universal brain.
