Apollo 18

Just watched the film, thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm guessing it's based on a true story?

This thread should probably be moved to The Lounge; that way we can balance out the currently active "we never went to the moon" thread with an "actually we went to the moon once more than is officially acknowledged" thread.

What a conspiracytastic world we live in.

"I'm guessing it's based on a true story?" You are going to have to troll a little more imaginatively than that.

Well wasn't the US-USSR mission to the moon unoficially known as "Apollo 18"?
At least this side of the Iron Curtain.

What mission was this then?

Are you referring to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) of 1975. This was an earth orbit only mission but it was sometimes (very unofficially) called "Apollo 18". That as never its official title.

For the record, Apollo 7 and Apollo 9 were also earth orbiting only flights too.

That'll be the one where it's cancelled due to lack of interest. Not much of a film!

That's the one! Sorry, I heard "Apollo" in my head and instantly thought "Moon".

You'll be meaning the horror flick that recently came out on DVD?

Is it any good? I quite fancy seeing it, but won't buy it unless its worth it.

I personally think it was a good buy, quite tense
