Now Playing: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon

Description: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon is a 2001 documentary written, produced, and directed by Nashville, Tennessee-based filmmaker Bart Winfield Sibrel. Sibrel is a critic of the United States space program and proponent of the belief that the six Apollo lunar landing missions between 1969 and 1972 were hoaxes perpetrated by the US Government. The name was taken from the title of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon by Lois C. Philmus, a 1966 book of humorous anecdotes by people involved in the space program. In his film, Sibrel contends that there were numerous insurmountable scientific and technical problems which made it improbable that men could land on the moon and return to Earth safely. Further, he believes that certain anomalies and inconsistencies in NASA's records of the landings point to a hoax, and that the space race was actually a race to develop armaments. He claims that NASA perpetrated a fraud, because of the perception that if the United States could put a man on the moon before the Soviet Union did it would be a major victory in the Cold War, since the Soviets had been the first to achieve a successful space launch (Sputnik in 1957), the first manned space flight (Vostok 1 in 1961), and the first spacewalk (Voskhod 2 in 1965). The 47-minute documentary primarily focuses on the Van Allen belts, areas of intense radiation circling the Earth, as a major reason that Sibrel believes it was impossible for a manned spacecraft to land on the moon. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon was narrated by a British stage actress named Anne Tonelson. Bart Sibrel himself makes no appearance in the film. He does appear prominently in the similarly toned Fox Television Network special, Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? Directed by Bart Winfield Sibrel Produced by Bart Winfield Sibrel Written by Bart Winfield Sibrel Starring Anne Tonelson (narrator) Editing by Bart Winfield Sibrel Distributed by AFTH, LLC Release date(s) January 18, 2001 Running time 47 minutes Language English ***Video description adapted from a considerably less objective, yet well-done Wikipedia entry.
