Apollo 18 Hits Theaters on Sept 2nd.
http://www.apollo18movie.net/
Just in time to catch the college back-in-school crowd. I can just hear the commentary from the crowd of late teen early twenty-something boys (ahem, young men) streaming from the theater: "Wow Apollo Program, what a cool idea. Has that come out on Activision or Sega?" ;-) Dave |

Be very afraid. Or at least very annoyed. A secret Apollo launch. Right. Paul |

A secret Apollo launch. Right.
Really scarey to realize that folks who could believe there was a secret Satrun V Apollo Launch are allowed to vote. Val Kraut |

Val Kraut I can imagine the tour at KSC during the 'secret launch' - BOOOM!! and a tourist asks the operator "Hey, what was that?" and the operator says "I have no idea what you are talking about" with a straight face. There was another use of "Apollo 18" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088611/ So, nothing original, yet again, from Copywood. |

Not only that, but KSC is quite visible from the surrounding area (and especially from the air). In addition, the Saturn V was the loudest, most visible rocket that ever launched from there. An unannounced launch of that baby would have gotten LOTS of attention! |

Not having plans to see the movie, I'll still blue-sky...
You see, the launch wasn't from Kennedy. No, what they did was convert the Glomar Explorer into a launch ship (OK, never mind that it was probably too small and launched from the middle of the Pacific near the equator, perhaps, similarly to the recent Chinese nav sat launch, in the middle of the eye of a typhoon/hurricane shielding the launch from view except by orbiting satelite. To deal with that the launch was cleverly timed and a few non-US nationals were paid-off. Perhaps they were all large buxom women of the sort who distracted the supervisor when Bond shot whatshisname through the gas pipeline... rick jones -- Wisdom Teeth are impacted, people are affected by the effects of events. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |
