Stanley Kubrick is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Of his 13 movies a few are considered classics in their respective genres. Including the black comedy Dr. Strangelove, the highly-quoteable anti-war commentary of Full Metal Jacket, and one of the most disturbing horror films of all time, The Shining.
But in 1968, Kubrick released "2001 - A Space Odyssey". This is more than a classic. It's a masterpiece. And widely regarded as one of the best science-fiction films of all time, and probably the most influential.
This collaboration with science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke tells the story of an alien intelligence that visited Earth in the distant past, and left behind artifacts in the solar system.
The movie (2001 - A Space Odyssey) features ground breaking special effects, which still hold up today.
In fact, the effects looked so good that the movie gave the American Government an idea.
Billions of tax dollars were invested in the space program but the Soviets were still years ahead of the United States.
NASA desperately needed to get to the moon before Russia, but they knew it was impossible. So they turned to one of the World's Best Filmmakers for help. Because when it came to the moon: if they couldn't make it, they'd fake it!

To prove the ball is spinning.
I’ve been lessoned. Spent my adult life trying to prove myself wrong.
Again, what would you accept as proof? What specific measurement(s) would prove to you that “the ball is spinning”?
Sorry, my bad... /sarc
Even that you could not get right. LoL
Jan could be either He or She. Doesn’t say on his/her home page. Pronounced “Yan” or “John” if he. I’m old school - in the absence of positive knowledge, I use the masculine form.
I guess pretty soon, that could get me fired or arrested...
Google the name, you get a king of Poland. Who knows?
Thanks.
Oh ... In Canada, I think using the wrong pronoun actually CAN get you arrested.
Start with explaining why the Michelson Morley experiment didn’t work. It should’ve been a definitive moment in physics to prove just that. But, instead Einstein had to invent a theory.
I find it ironic that most moon landing deniers believe aliens visit Earth.

What do you believe that Michelson and Morley were trying to measure?
What exactly do you mean when you say that their experiment didn’t work?
I bet it would be cheaper these days.
Take a closer look at the lunar and command module computers.
It is not what you think it is:

I would gladly place my pedigree against yours. How did the monkey do that we sent through the van Allen belts?
“most moon landing deniers believe aliens visit Earth.”
The logic is simple—.gov lies—about everything.
If .gov tells you the sky is blue you better check and make sure.
Did our astronauts navigate to the moon using the stars, as NASA said?
You throw out the term Mich-Morley experiment like you even know what it is. Its just something you toss into a conversation to try to confuse people.
If you dont want to be called for the idiot you seem to be, stop acting like one. If you are not an idiot, then you are here only as an agitator, no better than a ‘community organizer’.
