R. Ken Johnston, Sr. one of 4 Civilian Astronaut Consultant Pilots from the Apollo Moon Program, Is a retired aerospace worker, ex-US Marine cadet and so-called "NASA Whistleblower." His principal claim to fame within the NASA-hating community is that he refused to follow orders and destroy a nearly-complete collection of 10"x 8" glossy photo prints from the Apollo program. He was born in Hart, Texas in 1943, and studied at Oklahoma City University. He enlisted in the US Marines in August 1962 and reported to Pensacola as a Marine cadet for flight training in September 1964. He left the Marines in August 1966.
Ken's Moon!: Revealing The "Dark Mission" of NASA 2nd Edition is the story of Ken Johnston’s archive of historic NASA photos and his decision to go public with evidence of the manipulation of those images from the Apollo moon missions is the stuff of legend in the alternative history community. The basic story is that Ken discovered a disturbing situation in the secret halls of our hallowed space agency. At the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, Ken was the Director of the Data and Photo Control Department, responsible for all the photographs and data generated by the contributing scientists from around the world. He also produced and edited the NASA Lunar Sample Information Catalog for each of the Lunar landing missions.
One day, Ken enters the room where he sees a strange activity. Given that he feels a sense of responsibility for the integrity of the NASA collection, he inquires as to what is going on. He spoke with several people who called themselves “strippers” because they were stripping out details in lunar images that might be hard to explain. That day, they were at the task of painting out the stars in particular lunar images. The unusually lame excuse given was that the stars in the lunar sky would “confuse people.”
