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!

Ah, so you used someone else's research to gain your knowledge of the Van Allen Belts. Got it.
You used someone else’s research to post that comment to me.
You do not know how to make a pencil
As for the rest, why the tape to close gouges? Why half-inch + gaps at the seams? What NASA construction engineer don't cut mating edges to within a half inch? Why from Apollo 11 to 12 does foil "shielding" disappear? You imply you can't condescend to be called to account for that?
Gee, isn't the total lack of radiation shielding through and beyond the VABs rather important to sustaining life? NASA claims it accidentally destroyed that technology. That's as credible as Joe Biden's claims that he never talked to Hunter about his overseas business.
I can’t read your mind, only what you type. 6mm is not 6 thou.
And I’m not doing any more of your homework for you. You really have to read beyond “aulis dot com”, you’ll find your answers.
No you don't have to be open to that idea. And most likely doesn't cut it. It happened. 3 Astronauts from the US went to the Moon on Apollo II. Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Lander onto the Moon. There is absolutely no uncertainty to it.
wow you have so much faith that stuff that happen when you were a child or before you were born is exactly what you think it is. everything one has learned in life has to be subject to revision because of the fact that it’s just easy to be wrong on things.
Of course I do. I just don't have the tooling or materials to do so.
Here's something you forgot about research.
We're all standing on the shoulders of giants.
So did you.
The only difference is that I'm not the one acting like I invented it.
Goodbye.
The fact that you lie about my posts to you tell me everything I need to know about your intellectual dishonesty.
FRegards,
Nope. Didn't forget anything. You posted a falsehood.
You wrote: " ...acting like I invented it".
That implies another falsehood about me.
So I am correct about falsehoods in your posts.
You can spin and deny all you like, but your falsehoods are right there in black and white.
Don't bother replying, unless it's a true apology.
And you know this how? No the earth isn’t flat. I don’t believe in UFOs. And no I don’t believe we LANDED on the moon. Stop with the insults. Many of us “deniers” aren’t idiots. We have degrees. We have 3/4 century of research and life experiences.
we are successful. Over the last 10 years my research has shown how our government is so beyond corrupt , evil, lie after lie after lie. Believe what you will based on your own extensive research.
You really are a peach. Living with someone like you , not open to other opinions must be a real blast.
God bless you.
What does that got to do with my comment that tech is cheaper today?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light (186,411/mps), so there would have been a slight delay both directions. The call was absolutely doable, though.
NASA got caught faking communications (i.e. no lag time from “the moon”) many times in their Apollo archives.
Over the years they have been playing “whack a mole” trying to fix them once some Internet sleuths discover another one.
“NASA got caught faking communications (i.e. no lag time from “the moon”) many times in their Apollo archives.”
Interesting. I’ve never heard/read that before. Can you share your source?
Here is the “official” explanation for the lack of delays:
However Internet sleuths who got into the weeds and didn’t trust NASA’s version found many “non-lag” back and forth between “the moon” and NASA.
NASA’s “they were really talking over each other” “explanation” is hilarious.
By Apollo 15-17 the astronauts got lazy and bored and sometimes forget to “wait” the required time while they frolicked on their “moon dune buggy”.
Houston did maintain discipline—they did not seem to “talk over” anyone....
:-)
Btw—proof of the “dune buggy” hoax is at the very bottom of this article:
https://www.aulis.com/rover_fenders.htm
Apollo 15,16 and 17 dune buggies had the exact same oil leak from the left rear wheel—at that point the stage crew was just getting lazy—no need to fix oil leaks when you are not actually driving anywhere.
