5.0 out of 5 stars
must-read: chapter 5, 1 Jun 2009
I was troubled because, despite the dozens of colour and black&white photos in this book, I needed a heavy dose of imagination to see what the authors claimed to recognise in them. Hoagland is not a scientist, as some biographies claim; the book wasn't particularly well written; and far-out assumptions and conspiracy theories abound.
Why then do I give the book 5 stars?! Mainly because of the almost fantastic facts set out in Chapter 5 which alone is worth the price of this book.
That the authors were able to associate various NASA motifs with ritual beliefs of ancient Egypt and/or Freemasons is interesting. That they connect some very senior people originally in charge of the U.S. space programme directly to Nazi/occult backgrounds is frightening, especially if you consider the implications. Most fascinating is the number of times they are able to link the timing of mission launches or landings to
1) Freemason ritual dates such as April 20 (Hitler's birthday) or July 20 (ancient Egypt's new year and also the day of Freemason Buzz Aldrin's 'ceremony' on the Moon - mentioned in his autobiography); or
2) precisely when specific stars are at 33 degrees (or 19.5/19.471 degrees - the sine of which is .3333); as well as
the frequency with which the number 33 crops up in products and places named/occupied by NASA or corporations linked to NASA. (Apparently 33 means complete, or finished.)
There are many many more fascinating facts in this chapter 5 - to the extent that it is difficult for anyone with an open mind to doubt that something definitely fishy must be going on - at taxpayer's expense. Having read this book only after trillions of U.S. taxpayer's money (actually the money of future generations) so publicly disappeared into bankrupt financial institutions (and does not have to be accounted for!), I found it much less difficult to swallow Hoagland's claims than I would have done previously, essentially that the whole world has been fooled for decades by what is really a private enterprise using U.S. public money for its own nefarious and selfish purposes.
Conspiracy theory? Dead right! YOU get to choose - you can be either a conspiracy theorist or a coincidence theorist. Just which one is the bigger fool?

4.0 out of 5 stars
Convincing work. Perhaps the tides have turned., 31 Jan 2008
The most important and aspect of the book is suprisingly not the case made for ancient ruins on both the Moon (incl. an ancient skull of either a humanoid or android origin) and Mars, nor NASA and JPLs unscientific behaviour, nor the explosive last chapter about the Apollo 17 mission and its' classified elements.
Instead, it is the slam dunk case for NASA as an agency that is ultimately part of the vast defence strucure of the United States and powerful aerospace firms. It appears non-scientific in operation, has the structure of an intelligence agency and is ruled by politics. This wasn't news to me but I have never seen it presented this convincingly, and it just goes to show what both Martian Anomaly and UFO researchers have been saying all along: These things are covered up by provisions of the national security state, and it is the greatest threat to our freedom and future.
The chapters that detail the suppression of free energy, the lost discoveries of Faraday, Tesla and Maxwell are most interesting. It has been documented elsewhere how Oliver Heaviside pretty much destroyed the important 'scalar' and 'torsion-field' elements that were the original intention of Maxwells equations. The authors of Dark Mission however, also make a connection between the geometric relationships of the Cydonia artifacts, and mathematics of higher dimensinal space and how it can be tapped by us and is in fact tapped by all rotating bodies. They even give examples of this model on the planets of our Solar System.
As far as the argument for a delibarate "occult" reference system of NASA launches and landings (particualrly based on the celestial motions of the constellation Orion, the star Sirius and the so-called "Northern Swastika"), I don't feel like I know quite enough to say that the writers are right on that one. Certainly, there are elements in the early days of NASA that have some curious belief systems related to Osiris/Seth/Horus of pre-dynastic Egypt, but do those currents survive to this day? Decide for yourself, and perhaps look into some of Joseph P. Farrell's work.
Certainly there are things in this book I dont think are true, such as the proposed "mind wipe" by hypnosis so that the astronauts would not reveal certain things they allegedly saw on the moon. As far as I am concerned, and I know that Edgar Mitcell agrees because he said so at a convention I attended, this is baloney. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.
The authors make lazy (and thus, irrespinsible) use of italics which can be annoying for experienced readers - I know didn't like it.
I really recommend this book, just know that the repetitions and the long descriptions of the troubled relationship betweenn NASA and independent researchers is very much worthwile. I also recommend that you check out the very interesting discussion of this book on the US Amazon site.

Excellent, 23 Aug 2009
An excellent reference book for this subject. Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara have put together a wealth of information to show that a cover up is taking place regarding what has really been found on The Moon and The Planet Mars. The cover up is not about faked Moon landings, the cover up is about what the Apollo crews really found on The Moon when they got there. Not a book for the beginner of this subject, as I do feel that you need to study the photographs of both the Moon and Mars online first, where you will clearly see the evidence and also that areas of some photos of The Moon and Mars have been obviously tampered with to hide buildings and other man made objects. To the untrained eye the pictures in the book are far too small to be convincing, which is why I feel there are several negative reviews here. Type into Google "Mars and Moon Anomalies" and do some study before buying the book. As I said at the beginning this is a reference book that can be refered to time and time again, and is impossible to digest all in one go. The photographic evidence can be seen on The Enterprise Mission website or the Joseph P. Skipper website, you can also watch interviews with ex government and scientific people, who are in the know, on The Camelot Project website. This is no fantasy, this stuff is for real!
