Is the theory true that the film "Capricorn One" WAS NEVER REALLY MADE ?

No. I saw the film. \n\nIt is possible that I just imagined seeing this film, but this is just a conspiracy by those who believe that the moon is made of cheese.

It's not based on a novel. The script was based on earlier scripts and stories written by Dan O'Bannon and Ron Shusett. From Wikipedia...\n\nDan O'Bannon (who had collaborated with John Carpenter on the cult sci-fi film Dark Star) wrote the original screenplay as a script titled Star Beast, a revision of some earlier ideas of O'Bannon's (one of which dated from some years before) about gremlins getting loose aboard a World War II bomber and wreaking havoc with the crew (the B-17 segment of the movie Heavy Metal used a significantly altered version of this original story).

Trust me, the US space program was not a farce. You may have seen the old movie Capricorn 1 but that much could not have been faked. We can barely simulate weighlessness with airplane flight for a minute or two--there is no way we could simulate it lasting for days, weeks, and months. There is no way to fake the changes on the human body from prolonged weightlessness.

No. The movie you mention while having spectacular CGI was fiction. Hollywood is in the business of selling tickets, as a result, they stretch the facts about as much as a politician does.

Trust me they did, but let me give you some hoax's and then the explanation for them hey. I have picked 4 big ones that are fairly typical. Its a bit long, but please stick with me :)\n\n1) No stars in the photos:\n\nThe real reason is that when contrasted with the brightness of the astronauts and the lunar surface, the stars are just too dim to register on the photographic emulsion of the camera film. If the camera shutter were held open long enough for the stars to register, everything else would be over-exposed into a white featureless glare. \n\nYou cannot have both visible on the one photograph, so the camera was set for the correct exposure for Buzz Aldrin and the lunar surface, not the stars. When standing on the lunar surface the astronauts could not visually observe the stars in the dark sky, because of the surface glare, they could only see them when standing in shadow. By the same token, if we take a photograph outdoors at night from a brightly illuminated surface, our photograph also would not show any stars in the sky.\n\n2) The flags waving.\n\nThe flag is out and appears to be waving by an extendable rod running through the top of the flag, so that it can be viewed unfurled, and you can see the unnatural rigidity this gives to the top of the flag in the picture. The rod creates the effect of a breeze blowing the flag into that position. Without the supporting rod the flag would just hang limply down and would not reveal the stars and stripes. The rod is not extended the full width of the flag and it looks like a breeze is causing a ripple in the flag.\n\nIt has also been claimed that some video clips show the flag waving in the breeze when it was planted. Not so. The movement of the flag is only because when astronauts were planting the flagpole they rotated it back and forth to better penetrate the lunar soil.\n\n3) 'Wrong' shadows\n\nThe simple fact is that there is more than one light source. The light does not come directly from the Sun and illuminate only the one object in question, as a narrow beam spotlight would in a dark room. It shines on the entire daytime surface, just as it does here on Earth. Therefore it also illuminates the surface, the astronauts themselves, rocks, mountains, the Lander and all the other objects on the surface. \n\nThe reflections from these objects is why there is more than one light source, it is not because there was more than one spotlight used on a film set. It is also worth noting that on the lunar surface the reflected sunlight from the Earth is 68% brighter than that of the full Moon as seen from Earth. \n\nFor more on this question check out badastronomy.com/bad/tv/iangoddard/moon01\n\nAll the other fake photographs are explained just as easily with a little knowledge, and an understanding of how conditions on the Moon are very different to those here. With no atmosphere to scatter the light, things look a little odd on the Moon, we have a very black sky and a very bright surface. \n\nWe see strong shadows everywhere, and our sense of distance is also fooled because there is no atmosphere to produce the familiar atmospheric haze that creates a distance perspective on Earth. Furthermore, with the gravity being only a sixth of Earth's gravity, things move and behave differently as well. \n\nIt's hard to make straight comparisons, because we cannot, the Moon is just not like the Earth. We have to think differently when interpreting the images from the Moon, and that's what causes the problems, people are not allowing for those differences when looking at the lunar photographs. They are looking at them as if they were taken under normal Earth conditions, and concluding wrongly that there must be something wrong with the photographs.\n\n4) Why doesn't the Hubble Space Telescope provide proof hey\nThe equipment left over by the astronauts is just too small to be seen with the HST. Even the best image we have of the moon is taken of Copernicus crate

It is a work of FICTION. Why do people think it is REALITY?\n\nThe novel was a superlative work of fiction. (Not as good as Dan Brown's other works, but it was revolutionary nonetheless.)\n\nI don't know about the film... I will go see it, but I'm skeptical as to how well it will come off.

yes it's very interesting.\n\nthere was an interview with the lawyer of the Titor family on coasttocoastam.\na movie is in the works...\n\nfor those of you who don't know...\n\n"John Titor was the name used for a purported time traveller from the year 2036 that posted on several time travel-related Internet bulletin boards during 2000/2001, making many ambiguous, but seemingly falsifiable, predictions about events in the near future and giving an account of his supposed native time period. Whether or not John Titor was a hoax seems to have been a topic of controversy on web-based paranormal discussion boards.\n\nThe postings claimed Titor to be a serving soldier who was assigned to a government time travel project. He was supposedly sent from 2036 back to 1975 to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer which he claimed was needed to "debug" various legacy computer programs in 2036. The postings also described various future events between 2000 and 2037, including World War III (predicted for 2015) followed by two decades of recovery.\n\nAlong with the prediction of World War III, another notable prediction is that of a Civil war in America, which was predicted to begin in 2004, around the time of the presidential election, and would escalate until 2008, which, according to Titor, "[is] a general date by which time everyone will realize the world they thought they were living in was over."\n\nAnother prediction was that 2004 would be the last year in which the Olympics would occur. This seems at odds with real-world events as the 2006 Winter Olympics began February 10, 2006. However there has been some argument as to whether the Winter Olympics was included in the prediction. Some have also speculated as to whether the predictions made by Titor were predicting only one course of the future, suggesting humans may have created an alternate future by going about things differently. This is an example of the many possible interpretations of Titor's seemingly specific predictions.\n\nWhen asked about the mechanisms of the time traveling, he replied that he was no engineer. When asked to use the time machine to do something paradoxical (ie, kill his grandfather) he replied that that would only affect this universe, but not his. He appeared to imply that there were many timelines, and his ship could not control its outgoing destination, but could return home easily."

I've seen the trailer, and I'm fairly sure its a hoax.. The story just doesn't seem believable, and the trailer definitely features bits from other films.. I spotted "Catch Me if You Can" in there, and other bits seemed familiar. Sorry!

Is there an A Capoeira movie? Because "Only the Strong" is no B-movie. Tis the Godfather of Capoeira movies, mang.

The evidence  against is actually proof. The Moon, rocket fuel, etc. all would act differently than Hollywood could anticipate. \nSee Skeptics Magazine and Skeptical Inquirer for pros and cons.\nFor instance, the hammer on the astronaut's belt swings as it would in a lower gravity. It looks fake, but shows they are in a lower gravity.\nThings like inertial guidance system use in airliners, scientific papers all would be hard to fake and who would have thought to write them otherwise?

It was never made...it spent the last several years in development...

I don't know if there is going to be one. That was the only one.\nThat was a shame, though. I enjoyed the movie

nope, there is no such thing as the one.  infact, there is no matrix.  the truth is, its all a conspiracy.  the real world is known to very few as, Diffusion Wave-Nation

Yes I agree with you.  I have done extensive research into this theory and believe that it answers a lot of questions that no one else has been able to answer.  There are many books on the subject, Zechariah Sitchen is another author not already mentioned, that has written extensivly on the subject.\n\nMany believe that the gods in the ancient Sumerian writings were aliens.  These are also the oldest writings in history and most scholars agree that they are the root of most religions including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.  Many of the scriptures in the OT bible can be traced back to the Sumerian texts that told of the same story, first.\n\nThere is the primitive tribe in Africa called the Dogon that have advanced knowledge of the solar system.  They have known for many years how many moons Jupiter had and about the rings of Saturn. They have knowledge of the Sirius B and C stars before science knew of them.  "The Sirius Mystery" is book written about this.  When it was originally printed in the 70's Sirius C had not yet been discovered by science.  It was discovered in the 90's and that more or less proves the Dogon correct.  How did they know this?  They insist that thousands of years ago men cam from the Orion galaxy and taught their ancestors.\n\nI am glad to see some other open minded individuals with opinions about this topic instead of the usual response from people that just want to shoot down theories because they have no knowledge of them and they don't agree with what they have always believed or been told but don't have the initiative to actually go out and research it and then make up their mind.
