In the early 19th century, the world was captivated by an astonishing story that would later be famously known as "The Great Moon Hoax." It was a time of great exploration, scientific advancements, and an increasing fascination with the unknown mysteries of the universe.

During this period, there was a fierce race between nations to dominate the Earth from space. The idea of conquering other celestial bodies had become a symbol of power, prestige, and technological superiority. But little did the world know that a newspaper would play a significant role in fueling this race with a fictional story that would ignite imaginations and deceive millions.

The year was 1835, and the New York Sun, one of the most influential newspapers at the time, published a series of articles describing an incredible discovery made by the renowned astronomer Sir John Herschel. According to the reports, Sir Herschel had built a state-of-the-art telescope that allowed him to observe the Moon in unprecedented detail.

The articles claimed that Sir Herschel had discovered a thriving civilization on the Moon. He allegedly described fascinating lunar creatures, lush vegetation, vast oceans, and magnificent architectural structures. The stories depicted a Moon teeming with life, a parallel world waiting to be explored and conquered by humanity.

The news spread like wildfire across the globe. People were captivated by the idea that humanity might soon have the ability to travel to the Moon and establish colonies there. The prospect of interplanetary dominance fueled the imaginations of scientists, explorers, and dreamers alike. The race to conquer the Moon had begun.

Nations vied for supremacy, investing heavily in scientific research, experimental spacecraft, and advanced telescopic technology. Governments poured vast resources into space exploration, hoping to be the first to set foot on the lunar surface and lay claim to Earth's first extraterrestrial colony.

But as the excitement grew, skepticism also crept in. Some argued that the reports were too fantastical to be true, questioning the authenticity of the newspaper's sources and the credibility of the claims made by the supposed astronomer, Sir Herschel. As doubts spread, scientists and astronomers around the world began scrutinizing the articles and dissecting the alleged evidence.

In the end, the truth was uncovered. The Great Moon Hoax was revealed to be nothing more than an elaborate fabrication. The New York Sun admitted that the entire series of articles had been a work of fiction. The stories had been imagined and written by a talented writer, Richard Adams Locke, who had successfully fooled millions with his vivid and captivating narrative.

Nevertheless, the impact of the Moon hoax was far from insignificant. It left an indelible mark on the collective human psyche, fueling aspirations for space exploration and igniting a renewed interest in the scientific potential of reaching other worlds. The hoax also highlighted the power of the media to shape public opinion and influence the course of history.

The ensuing decades witnessed remarkable advancements in space technology. The dream of reaching the Moon became a reality in 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on its surface during the Apollo 11 mission. It was a momentous achievement for humanity and a testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration that had been ignited by the Great Moon Hoax.

Today, the legacy of the Moon hoax lives on. The race to dominate Earth from space may have shifted its focus towards other celestial bodies like Mars or distant exoplanets, but the fascination with exploring the unknown remains steadfast. As we continue to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and technological innovation, we owe a nod to the captivating story that started it all - the Great Moon Hoax.

Is it possible that the famous American moon landings were nothing but an illusion - a fabrication? Could NASA have fooled the world by broadcasting simulations that had been filmed for training purposes?

From the very first manned flight into orbit right up to the present day there have been serious anomalies in the official narrative of the conquest of space. Bestselling author Gerhard Wisnewski dissects the history in minute detail - from the first Russian missions to the final American moon project of Apollo 17 - looking at films, photos, radio communications, personal statements and any other available material. Using forensic methods of investigation, he pieces together a complex jigsaw depicting a disturbing picture of falsifications, lies and fakery in the Cold War struggle for supremacy between the Soviet Union and the USA. The evidence he presents casts serious doubt on the possibility of humans ever having walked on the moon.

Wisnewski’s research calls for a reassessment of the received wisdom that has entered the fabric of our culture. The true story of space exploration has a more sinister undertone, he argues. Beneath the guise of civilian space travel the US military has been developing fearsome new equipment and weapons to be secretly stationed in space with the aim of militarizing the orbit around the earth. The potential targets: every human being on the planet.

Profusely illustrated with over 200 photos and diagrams.
