The mission was a sham.

The murders were real.

I saw a chunk of this 1978 conspiracy thriller-science fiction movie about ten years ago. It looked intriguing.

After the first moon landing in 1969, a conspiracy theory cottage industry took off, asserting that men had never landed on the moon, and that the whole landing had been a hoax, carried out by the federal government. This movie, written and directed by Peter Hyams, clearly was inspired by the conspiracy theory. The IMDB synopsis follows.

Charles Brubaker is the astronaut leading NASA's first manned mission to Mars. Seconds before the launch, the entire team is pulled from the capsule and the rocket leaves earth unmanned much to Brubaker's anger. The head of the program explains that the life support system was faulty and that NASA can't afford the publicity of a scratched mission. The plan is to fake the Mars landing and keep the astronauts at a remote base until the mission is over, but then investigative journalist Robert Caulfield starts to suspect something.

  2. OJ Simpson "starred" in Capricorn One.

    The Trial was a sham.

    The killings were for real.

  3. Someone recently trained a large telescope on the moon and did see the debris left behind by one of the moon landing missions. Which mission it was I cannot say.
