Got your Area 51 facts straight? Your Kennedy conspiracy in order? Then why not adopt one of the more curious conspiracy theories: man never landed on the moon. Produced in 2001, this 47-minute documentary (which aired on the Fox network) has the "facts" to prove Apollo 11 went into space, but never to the moon. While the film starts a bit differently than most conspiracy videos (a Tower of Babel opening, a montage of rocket explosions scored to "Destination Moon"), the film soon goes fast and loose with the facts and quickly plays its "knockout" evidence. Writer-director-producer Bart Winfield Sibrel's first arguments play on hindsight: Kennedy (mired in conspiracy) set a goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade; Nixon (mired in trickery) was in office to pull it off. When Sibrel examines iffy scientific principals (how deadly are Van Allen radiation belts?) and curious facts (Neil Armstrong's guarded private life--is he hiding something?), it puts just enough doubt in the viewer's mind. The vast array of photographic evidence seems sketchy (shadow irregularities easily explained by exposure settings), confusing (newly discovered shots from inside Apollo 11's capsule), and intriguing (shadow discrepancies). The production quality is not convincing, though, especially the odd way the film ends with a clip from the Zapruder film. The video cover is actually a shot from the Hollywood film Capricorn One, a much more fun way to tackle your space conspiracy theories. --Doug Thomas

Customer Reviews for A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon

The most damning piece of evidence ever on the Moon Hoax.
Sibrel's film is an artistic portrayal unlike any I've seen in a documentary film. The film begins with statements of absolutes, and then offers near the end, an inside look into how the missions were faked from the command module - the absolute proof that Apollo 11 did not go to the moon. But I have a different take on it. This footage was shot for another reason.

There the three men are, creating a lasting moment for television viewers - of which only 20 seconds was aired. They are caught lying about where the camera is. They are caught trying to pretend that the inside of their spacecraft is deep space itself, by zooming in from the other side of the CSM while claiming that they can't get near the window to see the Earth because the camera is in the way. There is much more here. I watched the DVD over and over, there was so much in this one scene alone to take in.

It is important to note that, [...], Sibrel has changed his mind about how they faked the Earth image. Apparently, he did not think it through as he should have. I think the website offers this DVD for free. Don't quote me on that.

I personally think we went, but buying this DVD was worth it because I
was forced to defend my beliefs against some very strong evidence when it came to the Apollo 11 footage.

I decided that they must have filmed this before the mission in case they died, because it's just too big of a screwup to be an actual part of the mission. I mean it's very bad, because they only had two more days to get to the moon - the film is from July 18th, and it proves they were not on their way to the moon when this footage was shot.

I'm guessing that, like Nixon, they made this in case they would die on the way. Five stars, despite my disagreement with Sibrel. This film is well worth the price for the historical footage it delivers.

Non sequiturs galore!
Whoever created this video knows nothing about physics or logic. This video will be enjoyed by any moron who sees a conspiracy under every rock. Anyone with a little common sense will see through all the non sequiturs and junk "science" this video presents. Don't waste your money or your time.A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon

Fun if you don't know how to critically evaluate a question.
I admit, I like to collect conspiracy theories, and the Apollo Hoax conspiracy is good one.

For those who don't understand the nature of science and engineering, and those who don't know how to critically evaluate an argument, this film might appear to be a smoking gun. For everyone else, this is an entertaining 45 minutes that is trying to pass itself off as information.

Misinterpreted (or misunderstood) data and unsubstantiated claims follow one after the other as the filmmakers attempt to blow the lid off of a hyped-up media creation by using their own hyped-up media creation.

Even more entertaining is "What happened on the Moon", in which the filmmakers use as evidence of the hoax factual errors not from the actual mission transcripts, but rather from the movie "Apollo 13" and the TV series "From the Earth to the Moon". Now THAT's entertainment!A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon

The Truth will set you Free
Some will choose to believe a lie. Why, ultimately it is because we want to belong and fill a part of something big and important. It helps when those in authority such as teachers, news commentators and representatives tell us what all sensible people are suppose to believe.
This video helps to answer some of the uneasy questions we have about the myth put out by the party line.
Your mother, grand mother or great grand mother was right when they first responded about us going to the moon. "I don't believe it."A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon

Did man really land on the moon?
A great film which chronicles the evolution of early rocket flight to the staging of the Apollo 11 moon landing.You see and hear footage from the astronauts as they fumble around in the lunar capsual in an attempt to fool the world about just how far away from the earth they are. Also there is analysis on such things like why the flag flutters, conflicting shadows etc... A huge cover-up perpetrated for many reasons. There is a clip from the NASA press conference where Patrick Moore (from the sky at night fame) asks what the stars looked like from the surface of the moon, he was told by the astronauts that they could not see any stars!A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon
