It's about a movie a long time ago.

Capricorn 1, an American film from 65438 to 0978, seems to be related to science fiction from the title, but it is actually a political film. Shortly after its release, it was introduced to the mainland of China for public screening-at that time, it was difficult for American films to be screened in the mainland of China. Capricorn I won this honor, which may be related to its help to expose the decadent darkness of capitalism. Twenty-eight years later, looking back at this movie that was not popular at that time, there are many new things that we can associate and think about.

According to the story of the film, NASA has spent a huge amount of national funds 16 years on space projects, but it has been unable to explain to Congress and the public, so the chief scientist decided to take risks and make a great achievement that shocked the world. In dan brown's recent hit novel Deception, NASA's motivation for making fraud is also the same.

This great achievement turned out to be the launch of Capricorn 1 spacecraft and the manned landing on Mars!

On the wide launch site, people were crowded, and politicians and celebrities, including the vice president, gathered to watch the launch of the Capricorn 1 spacecraft. With the launch of the spacecraft, the scene was full of joy, and everyone cheered for the amazing achievements of the American space industry.

But who would have thought that just a few minutes before the launch, the three astronauts on the spacecraft who were going to land on Mars were secretly picked up and rushed to a secret place. The spacecraft launched after the countdown, there is actually no one inside, and it will not really fly to Mars.

In that secret place, the chief scientist appeared. First of all, he talked a lot with the three astronauts, saying nothing but affection, intimacy, reason and analogy ... Just when the astronauts were puzzled, the chief scientist laid his cards on the table: this action was a shocking scam. He asked three astronauts to broadcast the "live broadcast" of Capricorn I landing on Mars to the world in this secret base in the desert for the next eight months!

The chief scientist's bold and crazy imagination stunned the three astronauts!

However, the chief scientist used both hard and soft skills, and finally the three astronauts gave in. Soft words include: if you reveal the truth, the American people will "believe nothing"-so you should cooperate with me, even for the people of the world. Difficulties include threatening the lives of three astronauts' families.

Now, three astronauts have to collude with the chief scientist. They lied together for more than eight months. In this process, the whole United States and the whole world watched three astronauts fly to Mars, successfully landed on Mars, and successfully began to return to the "live broadcast". Among them, astronauts talk to their families in space and complain about each other's care; The astronauts' families were interviewed by the media and paid their respects ... there were all kinds of sensational scenes.

Some people may ask: will the land that imitates Mars on earth be seen through? How many people do you need to cooperate with such a shocking scam? Won't someone expose it? ..... Yes, it is natural to have these questions. This can't help but remind people of the old story of the "moon landing scam" in 2000-American astronaut1July 1969 was a shocking scam. The entire Apollo moon landing plan was completed in the Nevada desert or NASA studio, and three American astronauts-or actors-helped the US government deceive people all over the world. Those who advocate "moon landing fraud" believe that the US government's move is a psychological warfare strategy. At that time, the United States was engaged in the Vietnam War, and its competition with the Soviet Union in space technology was also at a disadvantage. It is necessary to give the world the illusion that American technology is far ahead and the United States is extremely powerful, which will aggravate the world's fear of the United States, thus disintegrating the opponent's fighting spirit and defeating the enemy without fighting. Others believe that this is an attempt by the United States to deceive Soviet policy makers and make them invest more money, manpower and material resources in space, thus bringing down the Soviet economy. Wait, everyone needs to stage such a scientific fraud drama.
