The Moon Landing...
A momentous moment in human history, a feat before it was done, nobody thought was possible! Although there has been amazing success and plenty of evidence to prove it, the moon landing itself, has always been plauged by conspiracy theories. I don't personally subscribe to any theory about it, but boy o boy do I love reading about them! There is something about pondering the world and reality as we know that I'm obssessed with, so let me, share one interesting idea with you. The moon landings were one big-fat giant lie.
The Stanley Kubrick Theory
The basic premise for this theory is that the television footage from the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked and recorded in a studio by the CIA with help from director Stanley Kubrick. It features some surprising supporters that swear Kubrick shot the footage, most notably by Donald Rumsfeld, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Alexander Haig, Vernon Walters, Buzz Aldrin and Stanley Kubrick's widow, Christiane Kubrick.
The whole Idea of this crazy Kubrick theory is with the loan of a unique, secret lens by NASA to Kubrick. The truly rare, but not unique and definitely not secret, Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7 lens was designed by Zeiss in 1966, on special request for NASA for the Apollo program, and a batch of ten were made. The cinematographer of Barry Lyndon, John Alcott, said that Kubrick bought three left over lenses from this batch, and had them extensively modified to make them usable on his 35 mm movie camera. Six other lenses of the batch had been sold to NASA, and the tenth one is at the German Movie Museum in Frankfurt. There is no evidence that NASA ever lent one of their own lenses to Kubrick. If you get more interesting in this particular theory, there is an absolute sea of information and youtube videos out there.
Plenty of Evidence...
The question, is it real? With an endless stream of videos related to the moon landing being fake it's not hard to come across some compelling stuff. In this section of the blog, I'll share some very interesting footage.
