If NASA were to launch a secret moon mission, setting off at night, as Apollo 17 is shown doing here, might be a good start.
The new film "Apollo 18" is like "The Blair Witch Project" of space travel flicks, couched as found footage shot by NASA astronauts during a secret mission to the moon in 1973. In the story, the astronauts encounter unfriendly lunar aliens, chaos ensues and NASA forever hushes the whole thing up.
It's science fiction, of course: History shows that Apollo 18, along with 19, 20 and 21, was canceled — Apollo 17 was NASA's final lunar mission. But the new film will surely stoke conspiratorial fires about the agency's secret activities. [NASA's 17 Apollo Moon Missions in Pictures]
Might NASA really have launched a secret human spaceflight during the Apollo era, without anyone noticing it?
