Hilarious, Goki.
Yes, I believe that. The US and "relocated" German scientists and engineers can't develop the technology or the manufacturing prowess to make a rocket, so it buys the knowledge from Tito and within two months, President Kennedy announces we were going to the moon. Quick work. And even though the US/ Czech deal was top Secret, and US prestige world-wide would have been severely damaged if a whiff of the news got out, the US periodically invites Tito over to lunch and to toodle about and keep an eye on things. Smart thing to do, given his splashy personality. No doubt they needed his input, or the moon shot might have gone to Mars. Soon, Mr. TIto begins to behave just like a degraded tyrant, and that just proves it.
All good space technology is hidden underground, in vast tunnels, and I can hardly wait to see the documentary. It was researched and written by Boštjan Virc. Directed and co-written by Žiga Virc. Production by Studio Virc. Directed by the Academy Award Winning Žiga Virc.
Hmmm. So I Googled this Academy Award winning Mr. Virc:
Foreign Finalists Selected for 2010 Student Academy Awards®
Beverly Hills, CA (May 6, 2010) — Five finalists, selected from a record 61 entries from 36 countries, will continue to compete for the 2010 Honorary Foreign Film award in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 37th Annual Student Academy Awards competition. The winning student filmmaker will be brought to Los Angeles to join U.S.-based Student Academy Award® winners for a week of industry-related activities and social events that will culminate in the awards ceremony on Saturday, June 12, at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The finalists are (listed alphabetically by film title):
“The Confession,” Tanel Toom, National Film and Television School, United Kingdom
“Janna & Liv,” Therese Ahlbeck, Dramatiska Institutet, Sweden
“The Night Father Christmas Died,” Martin Schreier, Filmakademie Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany
“The Road Home,” Rahul Gandotra, London Film School, United Kingdom
“Trieste Is Ours,” Ziga Virc, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
If his documentary keeps nearly as close to the truth Mr. Virc's self-promotion does, we'll finally get to the bottom of who really went to the moon, the debt the world owes to Czechoslovakia and, with a little practice, how to spell it.
