For decades, crackpot conspiracy buffs have been claiming that the whole Apollo Moon Program was nothing but a scam and a hoax.  Actor Mitch Peleggi (X-Files) even did an hour-long television special on the subject, with abundantly faulty science and shaky supposition.

But it turns out the conspiracy nuts were partly right.

As readers will know from sites like LunarLandOwner.com, we quote: "[M]any corporations such as Marriott have purchased thousands of acres on the Moon for investment purposes... and future development."

But in a startling follow-up to our Lunar crop circles investigation, another NASA-suppressed Apollo image (this one from Apollo 17) reveals that Marriott not only owns land on the moon -- they've also had a resort hotel there since 1967.

Later the model for the Marriott Los Angeles, inside sources say that the Lunar Marriott was built in collusion with secret government agencies and an investment group comprised of far-right-wing Republicans and Extraterrestrial loan sharks.

Apparently, astronauts Cernan, Schmitt, and Evans found out about some highly illegal use of misappropriated funds from the National Parks Service budget to pay for the landscaping of the private Marriott-Republican-Extraterrestrial venture.

To buy their silence, the three US astronauts were then treated to a deluxe stay at the plush Marriott resort (with some of their shenanigans there ultimately leading to at least one divorce).

There was no official comment from NASA on the matter, but an anonymous ex-NASA flight controller stated that "the boys had a great time, alright -- great grub, free drinks, and hey, best call girls anywhere in the solar system."
