Booker T is Still Alive

I mean the 'Green Onions' guy.  And still under 70 too.  I did not know this. 

In honor of Neil Armstrong, here's some of the best 'Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing' links.


"I am sure that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the only film in MGM history where the executives who funded the movie never scrutinized the film.

Why weren't they more interested in this very expensive endeavor?

Because MGM did not fund 2001, the US Government did.

Outside of the Front Screen Projection evidence, which I believe nails the fraud of the Apollo landings, there is other circumstantial evidence that forces the conclusion even more in the direction of Kubrick directing the entirety of the Apollo missions."

 

 

  In order to finance the space program through public funds, the U.S. government needed huge popular support, and that meant they couldn’t afford any expensive public relations failures. Fearing that no live pictures could be transmitted from the first moon landing, President Nixon enlisted the creative efforts of Kubrick, whose 2001: a Space Odyssey (1968) had provided much inspiration, to ensure promotional opportunities wouldn’t be missed. In return, Kubrick got a special NASA lens to help him shoot Barry Lyndon (1975).

 

 

 

 

"FACT: Rumor has it* that Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad was going public about the fake Moon landings on the 30th anniversary back in July 1999. He was killed in a motorcycle accident one week before the 30th anniversary." 

 

 

(* Emphasis mine.  Just wanted to make sure you caught the funny.)

 

Anyways, it seems obvious, that a little 'Great Gig in The Sky' from DSOTM is the most appropriate sincere response to Armstrong's passing.  Wouldn't you agree?
