  • Summary

  • This episode begins with a story culled from my new book, “Space Oddities: Forgotten Stories Of Mankind’s Exploration Of Space”. It’s a story about how the Soviet Union actually thought that if they were the first to land humans on the moon, the world wouldn’t be able to see it and the announcement may be deemed a hoax. 

    Sound familiar, right? Their answer was to nuke the moon.  

    The plan was quickly dismissed, but it is still a fascinating story about the possibility of such a landing being deemed a hoax. And while the Soviets dismissed the plan, the Americans had their own plan to explode nuclear bombs on the lunar surface.

    The title of the episode is a quote from former U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski.
