'Fly Me to the Moon' crafts a narrative around creating a backup fake moon landing — but did that actually happen?
"Fly Me to the Moon" crafts a narrative around creating a backup fake moon landing — but did that actually happen?with over seven years of experience in the entertainment industry. An award-winning journalist, she's written for Turner Classic Movies,, and more. She's worked at EW for six years covering film, TV, theater, music, and books.
It is based on real historical events, namely the Apollo program and America's race against the Soviet Union, commonly known as the Space Race, to put a man on the moon. It's also true that NASA was struggling with funding and its public image in the run-up to the launch of Apollo 11 and the moon landing, which led them to hire a PR expert to help make their mission one shared by the vast majority of Americans.
Of course, the biggest narrative liberty is the existence of Project Artemis, a.k.a. the classified fake moon landing. Since Neil Armstrong made his one small step for man, conspiracy theories have raged that the miracle of science broadcast around the country was a complete fake. One of the more popular theories remains thatis the director's veiled confession of his involvement in the hoax). The film pays homage to this with several mentions of hiring Kubrick for the job.
Part of that is celebrating the parts of the Apollo program that were undeniably real. "One of the NASA folks made the point that two thirds of the money and time was actually spent just getting the rocket off the planet," says Berlanti. "Nobody doubts that because everybody saw it with their own two eyes, and it's just as much of a grand scientific achievement.
