what bollocks - how do you explain that you can actually fly into space now, as a "space tourist" (providing you have a few hundred million US dollars to spare, of course)?
Ill go ahead and tell you right off what I suspect which is a combination of sophisticated sensorial technology and any combination of mind control tecniques including spiked drinks, disguised methods of traumatization, et al, and damned lies in the form of nice reassurances of a genuine experience, all of it focused to the one goal of keeping the participant brainwashed and believing that he is actually space travelling and barring any factor of inconvenience which could introduce an element of doubt in the whole. Therefore, the circumstances have to be completely controlled, and the guinea pig must agree to the circumstances. I can very safely assume that most and perhaps all of the people paying to go through such an experience are already brainwashed into believing fables like a globular Earth, heliocentrism, and Moon travel.
As far as sophisticated sensorial technology goes, a good example of an experiment used on the masses is the Disney World Epcot space flight simulator which is a "ride" in which carnival goers experience a sophisticated simulation of alleged space flight without ever even leaving the ground.
I have not looked into it a great deal, but I do not at all believe this propaganda just because it is claimed. If I were to look into this more, one of my first questions would be what were the names of the companies and organizations involved in this operation? Which ones are CIA connected, for example?
We should all be aware that the so´called international space station is a mock up at best and most truly of all exists in deceived and deluded minds. I would be genuinely surprised if most astronauts really knew where they always were. They definitely undergo mind control experiments administered to maintain control over them (like traumatization) and reduce to the extent to which it is possible both resistance and certain areas of memory through certain drugs and other means.
