Fake Moon Landing

Back in 1967 NASA realized that it wasn't going to meet JFK's deadline. So they asked Stanley Kubrik to film a fake moon landing. He agreed on the condition that filming take place on location. So NASA had to transport the astronauts, lander, film crew, caterer ... the whole production ... to the lunar surface. The result was film of a fake moon landing that fooled millions into thinking a real moon landing had happened. Interesting side note: As part of the deal, NASA agreed to leave the camera equipment on the moon for Kubrik to use in filming 2001.
