Absolutely. Stanley Kubrick filmed the fake landing while he was filming 2001 and admitted all this in The Shining. It's all at the link.

They could easily detect whether signals came from the moon or not using simple triangulation. Just as the people watching through even simple telescopes could tell whether something was actually launched. Even hobbyists would have found them out long ago and had far more evidence than a long-winded look at "The Shining"...

Assuming they had the same types of things we did (radar, etc.) they would most certainly have had evidence of whether something went to and landed on the moon, then returned.

And it is still a silly reach. Seriously just silly. If Kubrick wanted to admit to something like this all he'd have to do is admit it, put it in his will to have the "director's cut" deeded to some news agency...

Right, in the book he was writing a play, but the same sentence was repeatedly typed. Wendy goes to check on Jack and sees it.

I wish I could find my copy... I'll keep searching. I'm working on memory here otherwise. It may be that I am mixing the two. However, Kubrick didn't have nearly as much time as King did to progress a slow descent into insanity.

Stanley Kubrick was a true genius, but he made some spectacularly bad films as well. Eyes Wide Shut was terrible, for instance, considering how long it was in gestation. Spartacus was just brilliant but flawed, notably because it was not very historically accurate. He won many battles over the Romans, at least ten, and he had no compunction about using crucifixion on his enemies but there is virtually no mention of either in the film.

And in other language versions it wasn't the same sentence either, he used truisms from those languages that had nothing to do with A11... But the reality is that, if it is different (I'm not sure about that, I'm reasonably sure that he started with "The quick brown fox.." and moved to "Jack a dull boy" towards the end of the play in the novel), he needed to show more quickly the descent into insanity. He didn't have 70 or so chapters to do it with.

It's hard to take anybody seriously that believes this nonsense. Which sentence appears more "crazy" to you when typed repeatedly?

A. The quick red fox jumps over the lazy brown dog. (A sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet and is therefore used as practice by many typists).

B. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. (Remember the characters name is Jack, has a history of violent behavior when drunk and is battling alcoholism in a place that isn't supposed to contain alcohol but seems to be providing it through nefarious supernatural means.)

Kubrick's goal was to depict the descent into violent insanity within the much smaller framework of time than in the novel which had over 130,000 words and nearly 80 chapters to do the same thing.

It's a movie, based on a book. Although the kid did wear an Apollo 11 sweater, so it must mean Kubrick faked the moon landing to people equally, but less violently (hopefully), insane as the character.

What I find even more funny, and even more interesting, are the people who will believe this on one hand, then believe that aliens "threatened" us, after our first trip to the moon, into ending the moon programs. On one hand we "fake" moon landings, on the other we were told not to do it any more by aliens whom we discovered by traveling to the moon...

Sometimes harmless insanity is also contradictory. Are you one of those who believe that aliens have ordered us to never go to the moon?
