When the United States admits that they were not on the moon? Konovalov L.V.

The author of this book is the film operator L. Konovalov, who knows very well how combined shootings are made and what movie materials are used for this. For 30 years, he has been lectures in film institutes and film schools (VGIK, Moscow Cinema School, Film School "Staircase"). Having looked at almost all NASA “Lunar” photographs (and several thousand of them) and tens of hours of “Lunar” videos, the film operator came to the conclusion that these shootings are no different in terms of execution from Hollywood films of the 60-70s. the last century on space topics. The actors are removed on the average plans, and on general and distant plans, where you need to show vast lunar landscapes, instead of astronauts, dolls (about 25-30 cm high) and the layout of the lunar module (miniature) are used on a scale of 1: 6 to 1: 10. The lunar mountains in many pictures are a projection of a transparenced on the movie screen behind the astronaut. From the book you will learn a lot of unexpected and even sometimes shocking information that the take -off from the moon was filmed by an inverted movie camera and the lunar module did not actually take off, and its reduced copy fell down from the ceiling of the pavilion. And that no special compact "lunar" television cameras existed at all. And that the astronaut in zero gravity was depicted by an actor suspended on a cable in the pavilion.

The book is mainly devoted to traveling to the moon (1969-1972), but the coverage of the study is much wider: it begins with the flights of a single "Mercury" (1961), the double “Gemini” and ends with the sending to Mars of the Perseverans Marshod (2021).
