Introduction

T his is the story of the man who was punched in the face by astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin after I called him a liar, a coward, and a thief. The pages that follow will detail exactly why I came to say such harsh things to the man who was once my most admired hero.

One day, in the course of my filmmaking and writing work, I met an elderly gentleman who worked as a contractor for NASA during the days of the Apollo space program in the 1960s. He told me plainly that the Moon missions were falsified by the CIA. He explained that this was done in order to promote positive domestic morale during the Nixon administrations notoriously unsuccessful and highly protested Vietnam War. It was policy to temporarily bluff the Soviet Union into thinking that the United States rocket technology was superior to theirs, specifically because the exact opposite was true.

When the first lunar landing was said to have occurred I was four years old and sleeping quietly in bed, oblivious to the future controversy which awaited me. In fact, I grew up as a great fan of the Moon missions, having a dozen or so cherished pictures of them on my bedroom wall. I gazed at my prized pictures every day, from the age of four to fourteen, before I even considered the possibility of their falsification. Ten years of brainwashing was certainly going to be a lot to overcome. The very idea of the missions being government propaganda came by way of a NASA contractor, William (Bill) Kaysing. He was a technical writer at Rockedyne in California and held high level security status at the company. When I first saw him during an appearance on television as a fourteen-year old, espousing the US governments deception with one hundred percent certainty as a first-hand eyewitness, I was fortunate that the concept caught me as an open-minded young teenager. After the TV program I went over to the pictures on my bedroom wall and saw, for the very first time, those anomalies in these photographs of which he spoke. Discrepancies I had somehow overlooked for a decade, though they were right in front of my eyes, hidden in plain sight under the trance of scientific grandeur and blind patriotism. Like a perplexing optical illusion that had to be explained to me, the fake backdrops began to appear right before my previously wide-shut eyes. Huh I said to myself, and the seed of the truth was planted. Thank you Bill Kaysing.

Ten years later, as it turned out, the twenty-four-year-old filmmaker that I had become was editing a video for the very man who had produced the program in which Kaysing had appeared. I asked my client for the name of this man whom he had interviewed a decade ago, the one who so confidently declared that the Moon landings were a clever government deception. But unfortunately, this television producer did not remember the mans name. He did however direct me to the production company that had made the program. I telephoned them and they informed me to my astonishment, that had I called just a day later, I would have never been able to find out who or where this man was, as they were in the process of throwing out all archived materials that were over ten years old to make room for more recent projects.

I remember first calling Bill Kaysing from a pay telephone just across the street from where I lived and worked, in case they really did fake the Moon missions and had substituted this whistleblower with a proxy in order to entrap those investigating such matters. After a few seconds of talking with him, I quickly discerned that he was the genuine article, probably because of his matter-of-fact folksy and grandfatherly demeanor. This conversation eventually led to a lengthy investigation into the matter, and finally, though several years later, to the production of my documentary film on the subject, titled A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Moon. That project led to the follow-up piece two years later called Astronauts Gone Wild, in which I asked several Apollo astronauts on camera to swear on a Bible that their missions were authentic, in the process of which I was infamously punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin, and unceremoniously kicked in the butt by astronaut Ed Mitchell. Incredibly, I also unintentionally recorded secret audio of an Apollo astronaut discussing with his son whether to have me whacked (murdered) by the CIA. The voice on the actual recording said, Do you want me to call the CIA and have him whacked? Surely plotting my assassination would not be necessary if the USA really had landed a man on the Moon and I was just a crazy conspiracy theorist, rather than an investigative journalist who had just stumbled upon a genuine and outrageous government deception.

Have you ever wondered about the claim to have travelled to and walked on the Moon in 1969, on the very first attempt, even though right here on Earth Mt. Everest and the South Pole took numerous tries before achieving success? We allegedly accomplished this amazing feat with very primitive technology (a modern day cell phone has one million times more computing power than all that NASA was able to access back then). Yet over five decades later, despite all the advancements in space hardware and computers, the farthest that astronauts can travel from the Earth is only one-thousandth the distance to the Moon .
