And there are those who tell us that the film is an unmasking of NASA malpractice and malevolence.

And Clarke was in on it.

Recently revealed data, photographic and otherwise, show that more was going on, on the moon, than NASA has ever admitted. Their role (and they never were the "civilian" agency they pretended to be) was to conceal, rather than to reveal.

But anyone who might have said so would have been ridiculed, ridicule being a major weapon wielded by the settled establishment, so the authors resorted to that most excellent subterfuge -- telling the truth, as fiction. That way it sinks more deeply into everyones' minds.

Reflect on how the movie opens, with the apes (ourselves?) roaming around, how they got here being unknown. Then the scene shifts to the Moon and these mysterious panels that are thought to have preceded us all, ape and man alike, and maybe have in a sense caused us.

And now we find on the Moon, as possibly on Mars, artifactual evidence of structures of astounding majesty. Only, they've been erased from the photographic record, and other shots substituted. Only, copies were made before the "anomalies" were noticed, and these copies remain in circulation.

But NASA has no interest in the new field of extraterrestial archeology; their mission is to deny, deny, deny. Just like the men in the movie. The men, in lots of movies!
