Conflict over New NASA Moon Landing Movie?!

Does the new NASA-related movie, 'Fly Me to the Moon', encourage moon landing conspiracists?
Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think.

I was an extra in this movie, and from what I understand, Project Artemis was the working title. It was never intended to be the name of the movie. It was supposed to throw people off about what the plot was, because it was under wraps until fairly recently. By the way, Ellie, if you would like to interview me about my perspective of being behind-the-scenes, I would be happy to meet with you. I work at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as a Communicator.

​@@ellieinspaceI was a friend on Edgar Mitchell Apollo astronaut. They Did go to the Moon. He was a good friend and a great guy . I spoke to him just a day or so before he passed away . I was one of the first people that was notified of his passing. And Ellie if you're coming down for the Starliner launch I'll be more than happy to be your cameraman. I'm right here in Melbourne Florida on the space coast and I have seen four SpaceX launches since I've been here. One night launch from the Port Canaveral there were they bring in the SpaceX Rockets. While I was there one of the Falcon 9 was hanging from a crane over there I can see it from where I was at I will be at the port to watch the launch but if you need a hand let me know I'll be more than happy to help . I have experience with the cameras.

Ugh, more oxygen for the conspiracy theorists. Oh, and I'm old enough to remember the coverage of the Apollo moon landings, and, yes, the TV networks did use simulations (live and animated) including a LM mockup and pilot from Grumman, but they were always labeled as such.

[@baba_kaos]

The German TV had a lot of Documentarys from the German Scientists behind the Saturn Rockets, they where so good. Ellie makes good Content on KZbin and the TV in Germany is not so good anymore since the late 80s.... i missed it. The Scientists talked very open about the Apollo Project in TV (in German of course for the German TV) and it was good to watch. They don't show this old Shows today. When i was a Kid i loved it.

I sooo am NOT a conspiracy theorist about our patriotic moon landings. that said, something that weighs heavily on my sense of reason are why getting back to moon today seems ALMOST impossible 6 decades later. Why is the Van Allen Belt such a HUGE hurdle today after it was not back then? I am not looking to fuel the fires, just looking to understand Ellie. You’re a doll and an inspiration girl! Muah 💋

[@Gkc57Ii]

One, you have to have a mega rocket to get people to the moon. Until November 2022, there was only the Saturn v and it was defunded for the space shuttle. The van Allen belts are not a huge hurdle. I'm not sure what you think they are, some kind of impenetrable barrier? Many spacecraft have gone through since Apollo and did just fine. And that includes the new Orion capsule.

[@JamieReneeVonTeez]

@@Gkc57Ii Appreciate your response. I heard the Van Allen Belts were this crazy huge radiation problem. Your answer makes things more clear.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Bonus points to Ellie's channel for the James Burke reference - for those who haven't seen it, the shot is actually about 30 seconds long, with a walk past and Apollo in the NASA rocket garden, the timing, was fantastic. And, hey, Ellie, do you think this new film will show in a 'Conspiracy Night Double Header' before a screening of Capricorn One ?

[@Opusss]

This movie looks like a mess. Channing Tatum sticks out like a soar thumb. I have a lot of patience but two things I will no longer engage with are flat earthers and moon landing deniers. They are just too far gone.

[@olsonspeed]

I would add Young Earthers to the list.

[@cj3kosh]

I believe the majority of flat earthers and moon landing deniers know they are wrong, but just do it for the notoriety.

[@A.R.77]

There's no way we would have completed multiple missions to the Moon if it way faked. We'd do one and never revisit the subject. Trying to fake multiple missions would be wildly impractical and unneeded.

[@CEOsario]

[@JohnBlackburn1975]

The Soviets observed the Apollo spacecraft going all the way to the moon and coming all the way back. They observed the correction burns. When Apollo 13 had its explosion the flash was clearly visible to astronomers on earth. Apollo 11, 14, 15 left behind a lunar reflectors which have been used for decades to bounce laser beams off the lunar surface. Apollo LM descent stages are still on the moon and regularly photographed by many lunar orbiters including Indian and Chinese ones. David Scott dropped a hammer and feather on the Moon and both hit the ground at the same time. Only possible in vacuum. Are we suggestion the film set was all in vacuum, thousands of cubic metres of sound stage, all airtight, the actors wearing real pressure suits to stay alive? Oh and how did they film in 1/6 gravity (given how long the objects took to hit the ground)?

Your video of missing the launch is priceless! It happens to everyone. It is best to laugh and try to do it again. I left the "NOT" out of the equation so that you will leave room for yourself to get side tracked in the future. Perfectionism kills fun. As for the movie, I won't watch it unless it comes out on KZbin.

[@Alans001]

Hi Ellie I can’t watch this video. I was born in the Apollo era and I won’t help discredit the brave men and women who helped achieve human greatness for all mankind.

[@bernardopaul7861]

Ellie, it's very simple: the Apollo program didn't need to fake anything, period. It had America's truly best of the best working with unlimited resources. That movie is reeeeaaaally stupid , and looks really cheap.

[@wrightmf]

I think using a plot of faking the landing as a backup is simply a gimmick to sell to a younger audience. Keith Cowing said the next moon landing will be doing something again for the first time, most people alive today have not seen a human walk on the moon. Old guy here so I am not familiar with the actors, seems to me they seem more like game show hosts rather than astronauts or engineers (most of those people are kind of boring, not expressive at parties). But you can tell the moon landings were not faked because pictures from the moon are not properly framed. The guys that took pictures were test pilots, not professional photographers like Kubrick or his camera crew.

[@chrischeshire6528]

Lazy writers who spent last night watching Capricorn One.

[@wrightmf]

@@chrischeshire6528 what that movie had was an awesome aircraft chase with Telly Savalas stealing the show.

[@MrDrspartus]

We have never landed on the moon. Tell me how did they get there with 1/20th of the fuel required to get there? SpaceX Starship will need to be re-fueled several times 2-4 times in space before even going to the moon. Tell me how many times did NASA refuel in space before going to the moon? Answer: none because they didn't have refueling capabilities back then

[@moosethompson]

I'm so glad you revisited this!! These unscripted moments are the best, referring to both you are and Apollo 11.😅 I don't watch many movies in the theater anymore. So I won't be watching this one there. After all the hoopla surrounding Oppenheimer and trying to watch it streaming. I couldn't finish it it was so dull, which I blame on the directing. It took a lot of effort to make such an interesting story boring.

[@sonnyburnett8725]

Thanks for giving us the details about the movie, another one I’ll pass on.

[@lorentzinvariant7348]

I realize the movie is fiction but, Hollywood does this too much. Presenting fiction as real. I am still upset what they did with Luis Alvarez in Oppenheimer. Great movie overall but that part was deceptive to say the least.

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

Yea, that really annoyed me too. I was really interested to see Oppenhiemer for the historical aspect, but my understanding is that a lot of the movie is more of an art film than actual history. Same with the "Queen" and "Elvis" movies, for example. Multiple reports mention that a lot of characters and situations were made up, and a lot of the drama simply never happened, but was just added for tv to spice up the story, which is garbage, considering both films were presented almost like a documentary.

[@lorentzinvariant7348]

Actually, except for the Luis Alvarez portrayal within the movie. Oppenheimer is pretty accurate. I do recommend it. Alvarez included. He was just never excluded from anything due to his race. Not only was he invited to Los Alamos. He was pivotal on the development of a working implosion mechanism for the plutonium bomb. He also went on to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

Why is there 40 something seconds missing from every video of the starship IFT 3?

[@jenmacallister9379]

Time in video to notice 21.30 seconds - Average human reaction time of 0.284 seconds = 21.016 seconds x the speed of sound at sea level 1116 ft/sec = a distance of 23,453 feet or 4.442 miles from the launch site.

Hey, you could easily do what James Burke did. Just practice the timing of your speech and start it at the appropriate T-. Basic TV news chops. Note the initial shot of him walking the length of the rocket was separate, so no careful timing there.

We are watching "For All Mankind" on Apple TV . It's ask's the question what if the Soviets got to the moon first?

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

That's my question too, regarding the whole "space race" panic. What would have happened?? Realistically, I don't think anything would've happened different. If anything, my hope would be that the USA would have been humbled by that, and more interested to work with them and their tech, rather than continually work against them. If I had to guess, I would not be surprised if some of the failed launches and disasters that happened, were from both sides sabotaging the rockets.

They've just been given the Golden Trophy they always wanted - and it's going to be Another nail in the coffin for truth and reality.

[@telesharp]

I don't really believe hoax theory, but I've studied it, and used to believe it. Nobody thinks that everyone at NASA was in on it. Very few at NASA would have had to know. Perhaps this movie will clear up some of these straw-man misconceptions about the hoax theories.

[@steveschunk5702]

@telesharp, imagine all the engineers and assemblers who later realized they made a mistake, and the missions succeeded anyway! Maybe most of those mistakes were caught, and the program really did go to the Moon.

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

Personally, I've always had a love/hate relationship with movies that try to mix real world events with fiction, but don't mention that a lot of the film is fiction. I'd much rather just see the actual story. And if there isn't enough of the actual story deemed "interesting" then I think studios should just drop the whole "based on a true story" angel, and just dive into the fictional side of it, and be open about that. As far as this film goes, I'm honestly interested to see how it plays out. Though I don't think the moon landing itself was fake, (as in, I do believe astronauts actually landed there) I do have serious doubts the "live" video they showed at the time is real. This film seems to be a comedic take on that theory, which could be entertaining, if nothing else.

The moon landing hoax may work really well as a little cameo joke in say, a Men in Black movie, but to make an entire movie out of it...comedy is hard.

[@Ipbulldog]

There is not a chance I’d waste my time to give either money or credit to this movie because of its premise. Any discussion of a fake moon landing when Col. Aldrin and Neil Armstrong risked their lives and performed so brilliantly to survive the launch, moon landing and return to earth is a dishonor to them and all the people at NASA + contractors who made it happen.

[@MS-ib8xu]
