  49 years since the same Stanley Kubrick filmed the Moon landings, but no one gives him credit for that. Those Moon landing films are his most popular work. Talk about not getting credit.

  Stanley Kubrick was used to make these films because he was a jew from khazaria who will keep his mouth shut.

  Honestly the biggest obstacle for the whole thing was how he insisted on filming on location for the sake of authenticity. It was a nightmare to get the whole thing done properly, but it paid off in the end.
