## Resource

This is a special crossover episode bringing together key threads into one focused investigation. We trace the connections between Stanley Kubrick, Sam Jaffe, and the Apollo 11 mission, examining the timeline, technology, and imagery that shaped how the world came to understand “space” before it was ever seen firsthand. From 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut, we follow Kubrick’s work step by step, uncovering symbolism, placement, and recurring patterns. We then move beyond film into language and symbolism—Apollo, Artemis, Nike, Saturn—asking why major programs and institutions draw from pagan mythology. This episode challenges the broader cosmological narrative presented as settled truth and explores how media, education, and repetition shape belief. At its core, this is not just about deception but about the removal of God from creation and the deeper spiritual implications behind it. Support our work: foundationsinfaith.net
