You'd end up with the astronauts being sullen and visibly downcast at a boring press conference.īack to the script and the point that user "Searching" made: On the chance that you'd actually announce that, sadly, they died but one showed up unexpectedly at his own funeral, well, shucks, there'd be a sudden issue with the broadcast going off the air, followed by a quick explanation on the Evening News about someone disrupting the funeral. Unlike the movie, the actual astronauts wouldn't need to be "killed." You would psych profile them, and hire ones who would abide by their NDA's and oaths, and if you needed carrots or sticks, you'd offer them and their families riches beyond what almost anyone would ever have while at the same time threaten their families as needed. If you didn't want to use a sound-stage set, then filming out on Devon Island might work, especially for showing "Mars." Unlike the movie, you'd use a front-projection system similar to the one that Kubrick used when shooting the primate scenes at the beginning of "2001". Who'd know? Remember, the visors were one-way viewing. You could map on that audio onto the pre-filmed footage of the actors or techs out on the sound stage. In the months leading up to the mission, you'd have the astronauts do a ton of training, and audio record them, hours upon hours of audio, which you could edit and use. You'd have so much footage, that the techs and actors wouldn't recognize any of it, no matter how strongly worded the Non-Disclosure Agreements that they signed were. In fact, you'd keep the soundstage dark and empty while the mission itself was being carried out. In carrying out a conspiracy, you'd shoot all that tons of filmed footage months ahead of time, not during the mission. That's the video footage that would be broadcast of the "Mars walks." You'd employ a rotating set of these actors, too. You'd shoot hours of footage of your actors and edit out any mistakes. If it was your job to create a conspiracy, instead of the astronauts pretending to walk on Mars (or the Moon, for that matter), you'd have technicians or actors/extras do the walks. Or a technician could have accidentally walked onto the set. At any moment an astronaut could have opened his helmet visor and the game would be over.

In the movie they had the actual astronauts out and about on the "Martian" sound stage. Your operating principle would be, if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong. So, examine this movie in terms of if you were supposedly assigned a task where you HAD to carry out a conspiracy for real. The movie describes how NOT TO carry out a conspiracy.
