Just to prove to you the Yugoslav's could do it, I'll posto some examples of balkan ingenuity

No spoon, no problem

Opening a bottle, bosnian style

Blown fuse, who needs it

An ice container is for the spiled upper class

Broken window-wipper motor, waste of money

Skate park done cheap

Anything is possible

That smallest of planets up there was misnamed....it should have been called 'Tito' not 'Pluto'

Excuse me, there is a slight problem with that statement...

Well, it's been officially confirmed as a mockumentary soooo...

No serbian hog roast on the moon

Got a link?

If true: darn. I was hoping Yugoslavia got farther on its space program than Zambia...

Maybe the US was getting desperate

Actually, seeing some of the stuff NASA has done, those really aren't that far off.

And we were having quite a bit of fun at the office with it, too. Oh well, back to shouting "It was all faked on a sound stage!" to the trams.

"It was all faked on a Yugoslavian sound stage!" might just work.

Well, maybe officially is not the right word

WRONG!!!

America sent the first animal in to space:

We also launched the first interplanetary mission, first probe to land on Mars, and first probe to the outer planets.

Too be fair the Soviets had some other firsts... they were the first to lose a crew in space.

If Yugoslavia -- a country not previously recognized as an engineering powerhouse -- sold the United States a "complete" space program, then why did it take so many years of development to build it? One of the key evidences, in any other case, that something has been bought and paid for (rather than invented) is that it suddenly springs into fruition without any clear history. American academic journals from 1959 up through 1975 are replete with the history of the U.S. space program development. Many engineers today can recount in great deal what they did to invent their portion of the Apollo technology.

You also have to consider that 1961 was not the genesis of the Apollo idea. It actually started back in 1959 under the Eisenhower administration, and by 1961 much of the system design was already on paper. Kennedy, in 1961, merely gave it a new and ambitious goal. That makes it hard to argue that Yugoslavia sold the United States a space program two years after it had already begun development. When you set out to tell the "secret" story of something, you can't rely on the popular misconception of its timeline to provide the backbone of your story. You have to deal with the actual timeline as historians see it.

I was gunna guess with an AK.

I sent a email to a buddy who was in the Navy and helped dissect these Yugoslav underground bases after the war. He is familiar with the base at Zeljava and he says this is made up.

I trust him if he says its a hoax.
