Space Program - the Early Years

When did the space program begin?

The transformation of public perception of space travel from fantasy and fiction to alleged reality occurred during the 1950's.  The main instigators of this change of opinion were the following factors:

1) A series of Collier's Magazine science fiction cover articles from 1952 to 1954 which publicly set the goals of the space program

2) The mass published and purportedly non-fiction book 'The Exploration of Space' by popular science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke in 1951.

3) The support rendered to Werner von Braun's space propaganda through cinema and television, especially by Walt Disney whose animated 'Man in Space' was seen by an estimated 40 million americans, not to mention other space movies produced by Walt Disney Studios and other filmmakers.

4) The space pictures and rhetoric of Collier's Magazine, Walt Disney Studios, and Arthur Clarke's propaganda books were allegedly given tangible reality for the first time in the form of the Soviet Sputnik satellite propaganda of 1957 which alleged event was NOT universally believed among contemporaries in either Russia or the west.  The Soviet Sputnik propaganda was abetted and greatly buttressed by the Soviet's alleged enemies in the western space program of Werner von Braun.  An example of this is 'The Making of a Moon: the Story of the Earth Satellite Program' by Arthur Clarke also published in 1957.  As a matter of fact, Arthur Clarke was apparently the chosen vessel for publicly initiating the false propaganda of stationary rockets, or satellites, by way of his October 1945 'Wireless World' article entitled 'Extra-terrestrial Relays.'

The Sputnik satellite, Yuri Gagarin's orbit, and the entire Soviet space program was shown to be false propaganda by space historian Lloyd Mallan in his 1966 book 'Russia's Space Hoax' (Mallan is the author of many books on the history of manned "space" flight). This important book originally appeared as a series of articles in 'Science and Mechanics' magazine in 1966 before being published as a bound volume.  Other journals which published articles by Mallan include the 'Nation':

Space Program? What Space Program. There is no such thing.

Indeed.  As the "space" program patently consists of much large-scale cinema and TV propaganda, it becomes at once evident that such propaganda must be organized to be as effective as it has been.

Who was in a position to organize such propaganda?

Many of the biggest secrets of the second World War such as operation 'Ultra' were not released until the 1970's.  The OSS who since WWII have inherited the role of the British intelligence services were already in place when the space propaganda began.  The Office of Strategic Services changed its name to the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947 when Allen Dulles became its director which begs the question of what is the relation of Allen Dulles's CIA with Werner von Braun's rocketry and "space" propaganda in magazines like Collier's? 

A good starting place to look for some of the ties which bind them together is Operation Paper Clip which transferred German (largely but not exclusively Nazi) rocketry and mind control scientists from Germany to the United States over a 40-year period.

YES! YES!

YES! YES!

OMG YES! This is exaclty my thoughts to the excat excatly.

Right... so what are you saying happens to rockets when they fly up, they just hang around for a few days twiddling their thumbs until they decide to come back down to earth...?

It's a good point- and I'm also wondering how gravity works in their fucked up theory.    Even if earth is a cylinder (and we would be on the top of one end) the center of gravity is going to be somewhere below the artic and it seems that the edges should be pulled down because they can roll down to be closer to the center of gravity.  Let that happen for awhile and BAM you have a sphere.  And if they're rejecting the theory of gravity, and gravity is a one-way force going down, then wouldn't the rocket have to burn rocket fuel the full time they're up there?
