NASA: "Apollo 18 Is Not a Documentary"

[hannan4mitch]

The worst part is people still won't believe them. And while it does seem like they're pointing out the obvious, really they did have to. People would have thought it was real otherwise. Because a lot of people are that gullible.

Much to the rest of the sane world's chagrin.

PS. A little out of topic, but everyone's avatar is Justin Bieber. Is something wrong?

Wait...so there AREN'T really bloodthirsty Soviet zombies on the moon?

Well, goddammit! Now who are we going to pit against the dino-nazis (nazi dinosaurs brought to Earth from a nightmarish parallel universe) in a final battle to the death for the fate of mankind? I mean, really, how can we have the epic final battle between Tyranno-Hitler and Zombie-Stalin without Zombie-Stalin?!

Huh? What are we supposed to do now, NASA? Do you know how hard the robo-vikings are to book for this kind of thing?

lol

 

[TheFloBros]

Well I'm glad they did. People are so thick these days that a lot of people actually thought "Paranormal Activity" was real. What dopes.

 

[TheMann]

Ha! Seriously, who could possibly believe that Apollo 18 is a documentary. That's ridiculous. Now, Apollo 19 on the other hand; that's when shit got real.

 

[The_Amazing_G]

They should have said the real reason:

"It was getting too expensive and it was kind of a dumb idea anyway."

 

[Abengoshis]

I bet by pointing this out, conspiracy nuts will claim their over defensiveness means they're trying to cover it up.

 

[spectrenihlus]

I find it sad that NASA needed to say this.

 

[dangitall]

Worst part is, NASA probably said it due to some people actually thinking it is a documentary.
Just think deeply about the state of humanity we are living in.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

It's a shame Apollo 18 isn't real.

Because then NASA would have a reason to have given up on space travel.

Jerks.

Wait, I don't get it. Is repeatedly slashed funding not a reason?

An excuse. Not a reason. And I know it's not NASA's fault, but goddam guys, some of us want to get off the planet.

Fingertips!
Fingertips!
Fingertips!

Which describes how I'm feeling all the time.

Here in the hall of heads, while I dig my grave (watching St. Peter wave), I'm just a guy made of dots and lines saying "Hey! Who's that playing the Guitar?"

Uh, you do realize when someone says to NOT DO something, don't do it?

 

[The Random One]

I don't care about this, but I'm glad to hear about the tangentially related The Red Planet case, since it means NASA still has the publicly-funded balls to drop out of a movie because its SCIENCE is stupid.

 

[tobimaro]

It just shows that there are a lot of stupid people out there that would readily believe that this movie is real. Just like "Capricorn One".

 

[Sylocat]

I can understand their wanting to clarify that it's not a documentary... if nothing else, it might serve as a nice angle to get people to learn more about NASA and drum up interest in the space program again... but if they're distancing themselves from it altogether, that means the movie is awful... and since it's not screened for critics, the people who made it know it too.

It's a shame, the premise is impressive.

Jerks.

To be fair, they probably had a reason, but it was likely related to the American people not caring anymore after we beat the U.S.S.R., and the fact that it was ungodly expensive to send people to the moon.

that being said...yeah, I wish we would have kept going with the moon program. Hell, we have have found a quicker way to Mars at this point if we had.

 

[Stormz]

I never even for a second thought that this movie had a true story. The fact that people did is pathetic and makes me very sad.

 

[A LargePlatypus]

I bet the zombies are really just really old,really hungry Imperial Troopers who got lost on the way to the Death Star. THAT'S NO MOON!

 

[jhlip]

Bahahahahaha!!!! Wow. Was this really needed?

 

[winter2]

NASA is obviously acting on behalf of the Illuminati trying to cover up Space Zombies.

The lies... they are so vile..

 

[Zenn3k]

Seriously NASA, I think you guys are taking this "keep it real approach" a bit too far...

They just come to you for help making it look more real, I'm sure the movie producers understand that it will eventually be understood that it wasn't real...try to have a little fun while you're being shut down indefinitely.
