A cluster of controversial subjects



Dark Side of the Moon is a French documentary by director William Karel which …originally aired on Arte in 2002 with the title Operation Lune. The basic premise for the film is the theory that the television footage from the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked and actually recorded in a studio by the CIA with help from director Stanley Kubrick. It features some surprising guest appearances, most notably by Donald Rumsfeld, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Alexander Haig, Buzz Aldrin and Stanley Kubrick’s widow, Christiane Kubrick. The tone of the documentary begins with low key revelations of NASA working closely with Hollywood at the time of the Moon landings. Over the course of the tale, Karel postulates that not only did Kubrick help the USA fake the moon landings but that he was eventually killed by the CIA to cover up the truth. First hand testimony backing these claims come from Rumsfeld and Dr. Kissinger, which lend credence to the story.


FOX NEWS: DID WE LAND ON THE MOON?


On Thursday, February 15th 2001 (and replayed on March 19), the Fox TV network aired a program called “Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?”, hosted by X-Files actor Mitch Pileggi. The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program’s conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert (in Area 51, of course!). According to them, NASA did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon, but pressure due to the Cold War with the Soviet Union forced them to fake it.

Take the bet . . . (pssst, the answer has already been given)

Bookies give alien life good odds



(CNN) -- British bookmakers have reduced the odds on finding extra-terrestrial intelligence after the discovery of a planet that may be able to sustain life.

William Hill lowered its odds on Wednesday -- from 1000/1 to 100/1 -- in the wake of the astronomical discovery, which was announced Tuesday.

The planet, which is 20.5 light years from Earth and orbits the star Gliese 581, is being described as "Earth-like" by NASA experts.

William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said the bookmakers could face a payout in the tens of millions of pounds if extra-terrestrial life was found.

"We felt we had to react to the news that an Earth-like planet, which could support intelligent life had been discovered," Sharpe said.

"After all, we don't know for sure that intelligent extra-terrestrial life has not already been discovered, but is being hushed up."

Scientists at the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life Institute (SETI) plan to monitor the planet and its system for signs of intelligent life.

"The older the star is, maybe the greater the chance that it has produced something that's clever," SETI spokesman Dr Seth Shostak said.

William Hill has taken on many seemingly outlandish bets over past 50 years, some of which have resulted in big payouts.

In the early 1960s the bookmaker offered odds of 1000/1 that man would walk on the moon before 1970, and was forced to pay the equivalent of 1 million pounds ($2 million) to its customers.

Before the alien wager is paid out, the Prime Minister must officially confirm the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life within a year of the bet being placed.

With the discovery of the new planet, William Hill may still have to pay at the original 1000/1 odds if alien life is found by April 23, 2008.
