Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

I know I’m going to upset the conspiracy theorists out there, but the reason we never went back to the moon was that Prez Nixon cut the NASA budget because the only thing they found up there was dust and rocks. Sorry. No aliens. No fake moon landings. There was no second gunman on the grassy knoll. And Elvis really is dead.
I really like the idea of this. I do like the bits of the poster with the russian writing on it. I just hope it’s not John Jameson running around up there.
Honestly, I’m tired of the found footage angle already. I loved (LOVED) Cloverfield and I thought it was intelligently made and all that, but I really hope it just does the “found footage” angle either like District 9 or just in brief bits and then shows a more polished movie.
Yep,
There were further Apollo Missions that were supposed to happen, but after Apollo 17, commanded by
Gene Gernan, which was very successful, the U.S Government pulled the plug on the Apollo Program.
There were no Aliens. It was about money. This movie is terribly lame, and it’s quite clear that they are
somehow involving a “Russian Element”, as you briefly see a Russian Lunar Module in one scene. Russia’s
Lunar program never got off the ground, as their N1 rocket was a disaster and they never fully came up with a good LOR (Lunar Orbit Rendezvous) Program. I’m not going see this one…I’d much rather see a film on Apollo 11…now that would be something to see!

Now, there’s an idea. The astronauts find J. Jonah Jameson on the moon and so never go back.
