Product Description
For most Americans, the word NASA suggests a squeaky-clean image of technological infallibility. Yet the truth is that NASA was born in a lie, and has concealed the truths about its occult origins. Dark Mission documents this seemingly wild assertion. Why is the Bush administration intent on returning to the moon as quickly as possible? What are the reasons for the current “space race” with China, Russia, and India? Remarkable images reproduced within this book provided to author Richard C. Hoagland by disaffected NASA employees provide clues why, including information about suppressed lunar discoveries. Mystical organizations quietly dominate NASA, carrying out their own secret agendas behind the scenes. This is the story of men at the very fringes of rational thought and conventional wisdom, operating at the highest levels of our country. Their policies are far more aligned with ancient religions and secret mystery schools than the facade of rational science NASA has successfully promoted to the world for almost fifty years. Dark Mission is proof of the secret history of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the astonishing, seminal discoveries it has repeatedly suppressed for decades. Richard C. Hoagland is the former science advisor to CBS News, author of The Monuments of Mars, and a frequent guest on the popular radio programs Coast To Coast and The Art Bell Show. Mike Bara is a consulting engineer for Boeing aircraft. This is his first book.

 One of the best books I've read EVER December 30, 2009

The history of NASA was mind blowing in this book. I read the previous edition, but I'm going to re-buy this version to reread the new information. I gave this book out to 4 different people for Christmas. To think our government put Nazis in charge of starting NASA and how even L. Ron Hubbard is connected to the history of the program. Even more interesting is how given NASA is funded by our taxpayers in this country, it's interesting to learn from this book that NASA is not classified as a public explorations of science program but in fact, an agency of defense, therefore allowing the agency to cover up whatever they want, and classify "top secret" photographs from space and videos without us ever knowing what the hell we are funding. And as a huge researcher constantly watching, reading, studying the topic of UFOS, at first I was skeptical of some of the information in this book. But I started reading other books with official gov't reports photocopied in them, and with the recent interviews given by Buzz Aldrin finally revealing there is a "monolith" on the moon and Neil Armstrong finally breaking his non-interview silence this year as well, and based on a comment he made for the 25th anniversary of the moon landing, telling new generations "to uncover the protective layers of the truth" and referencing that there are many discoveries awaiting. I now throw my skepticism in the trash and support 95% of the evidence/information in this book.
Fantastic confirmation of ET Lunar landscape! November 13, 2009

Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA, is one of the most astonishing and enlightening books I have ever read, and a great follow up to the earlier edition. Tremendously important for everyone! The ET lunar architecture depicted in the photos are astonishing! Thank you Hoagland and Bara for putting your "hand in the box" where others are too afraid to go. This book definitely calls into question the official versions of space exploration, given to us by force feeding from governments and academia. This book literally rewrites our relationship in the cosmos. A new science and NASA politics, tells us that for the last 50 years, space has been owned by government and not the people-few are allowed to participate. Hoagland and Bara are like science detectives wading through obstacles and explaining the science and what it means to us. In reading your book twice, I feel as I was really there as you tell the story. Thank you for allowing me to participate in this adventure!
Excellent Book December 24, 2007

I find the conspiracy reviews that say this book has no proof to be absurd. This is an excellent book with examples to back up the theories and problems concerning Nasa secrecy and the mars missions in particular. The physics of Hoagland makes more sense than what was taught in all my college physics courses. Anyone who says there is no proof in this book either didn't read or didn't understand the book. Just the Brookings Institute report and the way Nasa stonewalled on Cydonia proves they are hiding something. If there is a possibility that there are structures on Mars then why would Nasa not want to take better pictures of the area. If nothing else, you would think they would like to disprove all the scientists who propose that these are not natural formations.
The photos we do have are directly from Nasa and even they admitted (finally) that they had lied when saying they had later photos of Cydonia which did not show the structures. If it's a conspiracy to think the government or defense agencies might hide something, then so be it. Anyone who believes the government does not keep secrets from the people has not studied history. Just look to Gulf of Tonkin, Nixon, Iran-Contra, Operation Northwoods, etc. A conspiracy is just a secret plan between 2 or more people. To say this never happens is ridiculous.

It took the authors four years to compile this book, and their efforts to obtain actual data from NASA was truly amazing. The authors are not afraid to take sides and call things as they see them, painstakingly providing information to back up their positions.
If you want to hide something, put it in plain site. Basically, this is NASA's approach to covering up everything from artificial structures to possible life forms: take the pictures and change the color, scale, angles, corrupting and/or distorting the images until no one can determine the true landscape. Plan A was just to cook up some ridiculous lies to run by all the media who were too stupid to ask any relevant questions. Plan B was feigning incompetence or equipment failure.
Before I bought this book, one question I had hoped would be answered was how NASA could keep all the astronauts, the only eyewitnesses, from giving away the company secrets. As part of a defense/intelligence controlled entity, I'm sure there would be the usual death threats, but still... one terminal illness would change the game. Well, good news. I got the answer.
The unanswered question is: How much does NASA really know and how long have they known it? Unfortunately, NASA is just another governmental organization that makes decisions based strictly on politics.

First off, this is the most intimidating book I have ever picked up without a doubt. You see how thick it is (680 pages) and you think "OMG, this book is way too big for me..."..and then you look into the book and you need to have a sit down or you will land on your behind from shock. The print is so small in this book that on a random page full of text I count 462 words. Keep in mind that a regular book has about 350.
Getting on with the contents of the book, this is a great book. Richard Hoagland is best known for his moon and Cydonia analysis and in this book he and Mike Bara make a case for the structures on the Moon using photo enhancing products that can not be explained by skeptics. Why is light refracting on something in the gas space of the Moon's surface? Why, if you lighten the pictures, can you see buildings all over the surface? What is with all the geometric shapes? The compelling look at the robot head found on the Moon.
I have to admit that I was a 100% non believer in structures on the Moon. When the subject came up I would always roll my eyes. I believed in ancient extra terrestrials but not Moon structures! How odd huh? This book surely set me straight, let me tell ya!
5/5
