Wow, wow, wow. Some of us, I will speak for myself, are just waking up to this possibility. I’m still in the cog diss phase tbh. But reading this made me recall a movie I saw several times as a kid back in the early 80’s called Capricorn One. It was about a group of astronauts who had to go along with a fake landing on a planet (I think)...could have been the moon. But the guys didn’t want to go along with the lie so they rebelled. The powers that be ended up killing all the astronauts in order to preserve the lie. I think I captured the essence of the movie. It’s been a while.
