Left Behind by Stanley Kubrick

The six most notable pieces of evidence that have been unearthed occur within a one minute and nineteen second interval that relays a lot of information in a short amount of time.  

1. THE CARPET'S HEXAGONAL PATTERN: This pattern was said to be intentionally used because it resembled the overhead shape of Launchpad 39A, which was the starting point of America's moon landing mission (Exploring the Fan Theories Inspired by The Shining's Décor, Peterson).  

2. TOY CARS: The toy cars and trucks that were the focal point of the camera that Danny was playing with are said to represent the vehicles that were involved in setting Apollo 11 up for takeoff.  

3. APOLLO 11 SWEATER: When Danny stands up, he is wearing an Apollo 11 sweater. This is one of the most substantial clues that we witness and was intended to represent the launching of Apollo 11, as Danny rises from the ground and up to the sky. 

4. CHANGE OF ROOM 217 TO ROOM 237: Shortly after, Danny walks over to the Room 217, in which King detailed as the room Danny is to avoid, due to the evil still creeping within. Here is where we find that the room number Kubrick used was Room 237.  This was another clue that, at the time, represented the thousands of miles the moon is from earth. 

5. MOON ROOM: The key tag hanging from the key in the door of Room 237 reads "Room No 237" which, when rearranged, can also spell "Moon Room" (Exploring the Fan Theories Inspired by The Shining's Décor, Peterson).   

6. INSIDE ROOM 237: Room 237 was proposed by Wiedner to be a direct representation of the filming of the moon landing itself. This is contextualized in King's novel when Dick Halloran explains to Danny that the visions he may encounter in this haunted room cannot hurt him, "It's just like pictures in a book, Danny. It isn't real." Of course, we find out later in the book and film, that the reality does, in fact, hurt him.  

While there is extensive evidence that supports the claim of Kubrick using his film adaptation as a means of an outlet of the moon landing secret, these are simply a few that occur in succession, in a short amount of time. While I agree with the staggering clues gathered by theorist, Jay Wiedner, and pieces of evidence to support this theory were noted in a collection by Robert Lamb in the article Faked Moon Landings and Kubric's 'The Shining', and Spencer Peterson's article Exploring the Fan Theories Inspired by 'The Shining's' Décor', I am going to provide further evidence to the theory that Kubrick assisted in the fake Apollo 11 moon landing footage through a link of inspiration derived from Pink Floyd's music that resonated with both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick.
