For example, the first book which was on this subject was made by Bill Kaysing who he himself published was called ‘’We never went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle’’. It was released in 1974 which was just after two Apollo missions were succeeded. This is one of the mass public medias that made people believed that it was an hoax. Another example which reinforced this idea is a film called Capricorn One. This movie is about a mission similar to the Apollo’s where several astronauts are ready to take off to space, but there was a problem with the rocket so they had to fake it to make the public believe.
“That’s how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back.” Vincent defies and transcends his destiny and, in doing this, inspires others. Discuss. The science fiction film Gattaca reveals a discomforting but possible reflection of a future society that a DNA profile determines everything a person would be judged on. Director Andrew Niccol depicts the undesirable circumstances which genetic information being the only concern in determining one’s status or quality of life as a replacement of the concept of individuality.
The main character, Vincent was referred to as an In-valid, because his parents conceived him with out the help of a genealogist with less than desirable results. All of his flaws were pointed out seconds after his birth with only one-drop of his blood. The main ethical and moral issue presented to us in Gattaca is the discrimination of someone in view of their genetic makeup, or the way they were born. You may wonder how this relates to the modern world and the societies in which we live. The main form of discrimination around the world is racial prejudice, which is similar to genealism.
“in-valids”, are disadvantaged in comparison to those born with the assistance of genetic engineering, “valids”. Vincent as an “in-valid” belongs to a “new underclass” in a society that has “discrimination down to a science”. Vincent knew there is no overcoming the fact that “My real resume was in my cells”. He adopted his identity of the genetically superior Jerome Morrow, simply because he believed that the determinant or key to success in life all comes down to what you do. The cruel society of Gattaca causes Vincent to realise that what you do determines your success in life.
The transmitter that was placed on Earth was never uncovered but the one on the moon was. In both works the aliens never stayed on Earth to watch the outcome of the Earth life forms but chose instead to offer a means to communicate the evolution of these life forms into more intelligent beings. While how the first contact was made on with the Earthlings is very important to the plot of both the short story and the movie, it is also important to know when and where the actual contact was made. A more in-depth look at the discovery and interpretation is needed to determine the significance of the contact. In “The Sentinel” an alien

The cost of health care that he receives for the heart transplant after leaving a hospital is about $1 million. As the guy recovered, he still had to serve 25 years to life in prison. There is a debate about whether the felons deserve organ transplantation. Most people would find it troubling that a criminal would get a major organ transplant while hundreds of law-abiding citizens who desperately need the organ, such as heart, kidney, liver, lung, and etc., are made to wait. National Kidney Foundation stated, “Over 95,000 U.S. patients are currently waiting for an organ transplant; nearly 4,000 new patients are added to the waiting list each month.” On the other hand, there is valid argument regarding convicted felons should receive organ transplants .

The film is based on an invented man named Edward who was left unfinished and isolated. Identity is a quality which requires an individual to go through an internal struggle and be able to balance between keeping their own personality and still be able to belong, resulting in conformity. This was demonstrated through the use of a long shot of Edward’s costume contrasting with the environment around him. The long shot establishes Edward’s dark apparel juxtaposed with the brightly coloured house, reinforcing his alienation in the community. However, Peg offers him ‘normal’ clothes to create a new identity allowing him to gain a sense of belonging in his environment.

He sees artist as tragic characters forced to tell the truth about humanity, yet doomed to fail. He reveals that truths contemplation of will is that reality is a mere illusion, and that all humanity is pointless, and that we are pawns in this never-ending game called life.
