If Kubrick had filmed a fake moon landing the conspiracy wouldn’t exist. The nimrods that believe that shit couldn’t begin to fathom how much of an insane perfectionist he was, he’d have created his own moon
I like your way of thinking here. I’m honestly not sure if the actual geologists working on lunar soil simulants today are more hardcore than Kubrick was back then.
With all the cuts to NASA and the American scientific enterprise generally, we could use this kind of angel perfectionist director these days. I wonder if Denis Villeneuve could be convinced to forget about Arrakis for a while and work closer to home…
How is that going to help with the NASA budget?
It won’t, certainly not directly. It would help individual scientists if they can land funding from non-governmental sources, though.

He’d have faked it, buthed have insisted on filming on location to fake it

Exactly, Stanley did a lot of things, good and bad. But he wasn’t gonna half ass it that’s for fucking sure
