NASA nixes "yes-we-really-did-land-on-the-moon" book plan
The BBC is reporting that NASA has canceled plans to publish a book countering claims that the Apollo mission was a hoax (see previous BoingBoing item here). No official reason was given, but reportedly the decision arose from concerns were it issued by NASA as an official publication, the planned book would only further validate conspiracy theorists' claims. The book will still be published, according to the originally commissioned author--but with alternate private funding, not by NASA. Link DiscussShare this post
