KAYSING LOOKS FORWARD TO HIS DAY IN COURT -
By Rich Azar
Billy Kaysing says he would not be inclined to settle his pending
lawsuit against former astronaut James Lovell because his "goal is to
reveal to the American public that the government lies about important
things."
"They lie to us, they cheat us, and I want to open the lid to Pandora's
box," he said in an early June telephone interview. "I want only to
appear in court without any attorney, on my own in front of a jury, and
present my complete case."
Kaysing, a former technical writer for Rocketdyne, a California
corporation that worked on rocket engines for the Lunar Module (known
as the LEM) which supposedly landed on the moon six times between
1969-72, and author of "We Never Went To The Moon" filed a malicious
libel suit against Apollo astronaut James Lovell last August because
Lovell called him a "wacko" in an article which appeared in San Jose's
"Metro Weekly Magazine"
Kaysing had high praise for the recent video produced by seasoned
investigator James Collier: "Was It Only A Paper Moon?"
The video recounts numerous lingering questions about the moon program,
including:
* The apparent physical impossibility of two astronauts, fully loaded
with gear,to enter and exit the lunar module.
* Analysis of the shadows supposedly cast on the moon by the astronauts
and their equipment, shadows that many believe do not correspond with
the configuration of the sun and moon during the landings.
* The fact that NASA never took pictures of the earth from the moon,
which skeptics say would have proven the landings as well as provided
earthlings with startling, inspiring footage.
Skeptics also charge that the photographs that were taken show no stars.
* The apparent inclusion of "sky-blue"footage taken by astronauts in
deep space.
While the video is a good compendium of the theories that have floated
about for some time, Kaysing says its strongest suit is that Collier
"publicly challenges NASA officials to prove him wrong. A really
outstanding aspect is that he went to Houston and Washington to
question NASA officials, and those personal confrontations are
outstanding."
Kaysing says his lawsuit and Collier's video are but two of several
fronts in which the moon controversy is being resurrected. A Nashville,
Tenn. producer is currently working on a video but thus far has been
unsuccessful in getting Neil Armstrong to answer some lingering
questions, Kaysing said.
"The first time he got turned away, and the second Neil told him if he
came back again he would get arrested." Kaysing said.
"The astronauts themselves are bring forced into corners by people who
want answers to cogent questions."
