Los Angeles, California | The heirs of famous American film director, screenwriter and producer, Stanley Kubrick, are auctioning a large quantity of stage accessories used in his movies, including more than 700 items from the moon landing film he directed for NASA in 1969.
A total of 13,254 items from various Stanley Kubrick movies, including The Shining,Clockwork Orange and Dr Strangelove, are to be sold at Sotheby’s Auction House, on April 2.
The auctioned items are part of a collection of more than 45,000 stage props and costumes that the artist had amassed over his career, and that were stored in his Hertfordshire manor at his death in 1999
The space suit worn by Neil Armstrong during his moon walk is already drawing attention from buyers around the world and is expected to fetch more than $100 millions during Saturday’s auction.
Andrea Fiuczynski, Sotheby’s Executive Vice President and chairman of the West Coast, predicted that the auction will attract thousands of buyers from all over the world
“Many unique and famous historical items are on sale, and we expect them to reach very high prices,”Ms Fiuczynski told reporters.“These include Appolo 11′s Lunar Module, the Eagle, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s space suits, and the famous American flag that they erected on the moon. These are all unique pieces of human heritage, so they can interest people from all over the world.”
In July 1969, over 53 million American households tuned in to watch this mission on TV, and over 530 million viewers worldwide watched the moon landing, believing they were actually watching some footage that had been filmed in outer space.
The event was contrived to fulfil former president John F Kennedy’s prophecy of reaching the Moon and winning the space race against the Russians.

Well this finally proves the faked moon landing to the sheeple who refuse to believe it was and still an impossible feat.
I’m truly amazed NASA didn’t destroy the props!
Not an impossible feat by a long shot. It just can’t be done within the confines of University physics. Once you start using zero-point, and gravity amplification, along with directed energy shielding, the trip is no big deal. That started with human beings in the ’70s, using reverse-engineered tech.
The first humans on moon and mars bases were already happening in the mid 70s.
You don’t really think that Terrans are the only intelligent life, do you?
