Are Classified NASA Lunar Findings Secretly Pressuring the Aging Shuttle Program to Completion by 2010, to Make Way for “Constellation” — and the New “Space Race” to the Moon?

Re: Enterprise Mission Press Conference
National Press Club, Zenger Room
Tuesday, October 30, 9 am

Washington, DC – Japan is currently in lunar orbit with the most sophisticated lunar mission since Apollo. China is about to launch a major
unmanned lunar mission, on October 24th. In April, 2008 India will launch its first comprehensive unmanned lunar mission. And, Russia recently announced its own ambitious lunar plans — for not only sending cosmonauts
to the Moon by 2025, but establishment of a permanent moon base soon after.

All this on the heels of President George W. Bush’s own “Vision for Space
Exploration” (VSE) — his sudden decision to “return Americans to manned
lunar exploration” — made inexplicably, in the middle of his war.

Why this abrupt international focus on a 21st Century Moon Program — after
over 30 years of the Moon being totally ignored? Did Apollo find
“something” of major importance on the Moon, which NASA just forgot to tell
the rest of us?

The press conference will be lead be Richard C. Hoagland: former NASA
consultant; CBS News Science Advisor during the Apollo lunar missions;
co-author of “Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA” (currently #1 on
Amazon’s list for “Astronomy,” and “Space Science”); and head of The
Enterprise Mission. Ken Johnston, former NASA Manager of the Data and
Photo Control Department of NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory at MSC during
the Apollo Program, will present supporting NASA documentation.

According to the Enterprise Mission:

This is an era of increasing concern for ever more government secrecy and
expanding classification. Hoagland and Johnston will demonstrate that this
“less than forthright NASA decision-making” actually began a long time ago.

Citing specifics from the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958,
Hoagland will present startling evidence that, contrary to assumptions made
by politicians, members of the press and public for almost half a century,
NASA is NOT a “civilian” space agency, but is in fact “a defense agency of
the United States”.

As a tax-supported federal institution, NASA’s 1958 Congressional charter
specifically instructs “Sec. 205 … (d) no [NASA] information which has
been classified for reasons of national security shall be included in any [NASA]
report made under this section [of the Act] …” [Emphasis added].

So, what criteria does NASA apply to classifying its scientific or
engineering information? And, what major NASA discoveries have never been
reported – either to the Congress, the American people or the press —
because of NASA’s legal ability to lie? And why could these now be
politically significant …?

Says Hoagland, “The evidence that NASA is something other than the
‘benevolent civilian science institution’ it has pretended to be for 50
years, is as overwhelming now as it is disturbing.

“It is this ‘dark mission,’ allowing the president to legally classify
NASA’s most important scientific and technological findings without even
other NASA scientists or engineers, or Congress, the press or the American
people becoming aware, which we contend is now impelling this new 21st
Century Space Race.

“A Race whose outcome — unlike the first US/USSR race for ‘mere’ political
prestige 50 years ago — will literally shape the life of every human being
now alive on Earth, through the startling technological discoveries we have
evidence that NASA made on the Moon during Apollo … brought back to Earth
…and then successfully kept secret for more than a generation.”

Supporting Hoagland’s highly controversial data and analysis, Ken Johnston,
former LRL manager of NASA’s photographic lunar archive in the early
1970’s, will give a first-hand account of how he was specifically
instructed by his NASA managers toward the end of the Apollo Program to
destroy unique Apollo records of what the astronauts actually recorded on
the Moon, rather than donate them to a university, high school or other
public archive.

Hoagland and Johnston — using these 30-year-old original Apollo images that
Johnston, in disobeying that direct order, personally preserved — will
illustrate exactly what NASA hoped would never become known: the apparent
remains of extensive lunar ruins on the Moon, one of the key projected
discoveries cited by a pre-Apollo NASA/Brookings study as “capable of
destroying civilization.”

Hoagland and Johnston will then compare this 30-year-old data with current
Apollo images being posted on official NASA websites around the world —
revealing total confirmation of Johnston’s 30-year-old claims — including,
an actual astonishing example of the extraordinarily advanced technology
the Apollo astronauts may have returned to Earth in the last Mission of
Apollo….

Richard C. Hoagland and Ken Johnston will be available for interviews
immediately following the briefing which will last from 9:00 to 9:45 AM
with a question and answer period following until 11:00 AM.
