Capricornio Uno
To all appearances the launching of Capricorn One, the first spaceship to Mars, seemed perfectly normal. Everybody in the country was watching the countdown on television.But behind the scenes, two and a half hours before lift-off, a strange and terrifying drama was being played out. A NASA director was warning the three astronauts that their spacecraft was faulty. He told them they must fake the trip via computer magic. This way they could convince the President the mission had succeeded. Failure would mean the end of the space program.Nothing would stop these madmen. Not the truth. Not reality. Especially not the astronauts, who become unwilling conspirators. For them, a special fate had been arranged...

This is an unusual (I believe the only other such adaptations Goulart wrote were from the original Battlestar Galactica television series) novelization of a popular film that told the story of a faked-NASA Mars expedition, an obvious play to the conspiracy theorists who were sure that the lunar expeditions never happened. As best I can recall, Goulart didn't follow the movie script with too much precision, but tossed in some wry witticisms and slants that reflected his ability to throw some humor in every situation. Despite a really terrific cast, I didn't much care for the film, but Goulart made the characters' stories interesting. A curious point of trivia is that Goulart's book is one of -two- novelizations of that same film. A completely different novelization was published in the U.K. with the same title which was written by none other than Ken Follett under the pseudonym of Bernard L. Ross. I've never read the Follett book, but thought it would interesting to compare the two, and maybe figure out why they did two different versions.

Capricorn One
by Ron Goulart
I watched this when it first came out but the only think I remember was the joke one of the astronauts said as climbing the mountain! I have been re-reading some oldies and this was handy. I couldn't remember the movie or the book much since it's been about 30+ years since I read it.
The book has three astronauts heading for Mars on Capricorn One, at least that's what most people think. Even the astronauts. But they are taken away to a staging area. They are forced to pretend they are on the flight and on Mars. All goes well until the ship burns up coming back into Earth's atmosphere. They have to find a way to escape.
Meanwhile, a reporter is putting clues together. Almost getting killed himself. He starts tracking down the hidden astronauts.
Pretty exciting, action packed, very suspenseful book. I don't remember the movie being that good!😅🤔

Sure, it's just the novelization of a screenplay but there's strong evidence that Ken Follett himself handled this assignment. If so, he did a great job at summing up the American national character.
Anyway okay--this is a 'pseudo-book' in itself. Just a tie-in to a Hollywood movie. But--what a movie. Peter Hyams film, and it really grows on you over time.
Think about the quality of the acting in this 'mere' little action flick. The movie holds not just one superb monologue but TWO. I wonder who originally wrote 'em? They're superb. Here's one of them (delivered by the great actor, Hal Holbrook). For this speech alone, you can observe evidence of a cogent, compelling, thriller:
(Dr. James Kelloway): ...Okay, here it is. I have to start by saying that if there was any other way, if there was even a slight chance of another alternative, I would give anything not to be here with you now. Anything. Bru, how long have we known each other? Sixteen years. That's how long. Sixteen years. You should have seen yourself then. You looked like you just walked out of a Wheaties box. And me, all sweaty palms and deadly serious. I told everybody about this dream I had of conquering the new frontier, and they all looked at me like I was nuts. You looked at me and said, 'yes'. I remember when you told me Kay was pregnant. We went out and got crocked. I remember when Charles was born. We went out and got crocked again. The two of us. Captain Terrific and the Mad Doctor, talking about reaching the stars, and the bartender telling us maybe we'd had enough. Sixteen years. And then Armstrong stepped out on the Moon, and we cried. We were so proud. Willis, you and Walker, you came in about then. Both bright and talented wise-asses, looked at me in my wash-and-wear shirt carrying on this hot love affair with my slide-rule, and even you were caught up in what we'd done. I remember when Glenn made his first orbit in Mercury, they put up television sets in Grand Central Station, and tens of thousands of people missed their trains to watch. You know, when Apollo 17 landed on the Moon, people were calling up the networks and bitching because reruns of I Love Lucy were cancelled. Reruns, for Christ's sake! I could understand if it was the new Lucy show. After all, what's a walk on the Moon? But reruns! Aw, geez! And then suddenly everybody started talking about how much everything cost. Was it really worth twenty billion to go to another planet? What about cancer? What about the slums? How much does it cost? How much does any dream cost, for Christ's sake? Since when is there an accountant for ideas? You know who was at the launch today? Not the President. The Vice-President, that's who. The Vice- President and his plump wife. The President was 'busy'. Ehhh..he's not busy. He's just a little bit "scared". He sat there two months ago and put his feet up on Woodrow Wilson's desk, and he said, "Jim. Make it good. Congress is on my back. They're looking for a reason to cancel the program. We can't afford another screw-up. Make it good. You have my every good wish." His every good wish! I got his sanctimonious Vice-President! That's what I got! So, there we are. After all those hopes--and all that dreaming--he sits there, with those flags behind his chair, and tells me we can't afford a screw-up. Well guess what? We had a screw-up! A first-class, bona-fide, made-in-America screw-up! The good people from Con-Amalgamate delivered a life-support system cheap enough so they could make a profit on the deal. Works out fine for everybody. Con-Amalgamate makes money. We have our life-support system. Everything's peachy. Except they made a little bit too much profit. We found out two months ago it won't work. You guys would all be dead in three weeks. It's as simple as that. So, all I have to do is report that and scrub the mission. Congress has its excuse, the President still has his desk, and we have no more program. What's sixteen years? Your actual drop in the bucket! All right. That's the end of the speech. Now, we're getting to what they call the moment of truth. Come with me. I want to show you something..."
Brilliant. You can't find a speech like that too often, not these days.

This is the US novelization which also had a UK novelization released by Ken Follett.. The rocket gleaming white, towering with its 6 million pound weight. The rocket off to Mars for a 4 month mission. The Program with loads of pressure from congress for exorbitant expense and a general public that no longer cares about space travel. Any failure could totally jeopardize any future spending. Literally stopped space exploration. The main speech, the biggest part of the movie, written by Ron was less impressive, simpler, less serious. Ron changed the dialogue to fit his satirical humor more than the movie intented. All other parts of the car chase etc were the same. The ending was pretty much from the movie. US version is half the size of the UK version and both are better at their different strengths. Ron has humor, shorter and Ken Follett with more detail, and different ending.

Loved the motion picture as a child. I HATE myself for not reading the book sooner. Several scenes were cut out, making the book a joy for any fan of the film. :-)

I’m a fan of Ron Goulart, but I’ve only ever read his novels and short stories – I’ve never really read any of his series contributions for existing characters (i.e. Vampirella, Flash Gordon, The Phantom, etc) or his film/TV novelizations, mainly because they’re really hard to find. Also, I’m not big on film novelizations these days. But when I saw this one, I had to pick it up for two reasons: (1) Capricorn One is a fun movie, and (2) I wanted to see how Goulart wrote someone else’s story.
And he writes it pretty much the way he writes his novels – mostly dialogue, with minimal descriptions of characters and action. His style of humor also creeps in from time to time, mainly in the scenes with the reporter Caulfield, who here is less like Elliot Gould and more like one of Goulart’s usual protagonists in speech and manner (it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the movie, but I’m pretty sure Gould never once used the word “Yang!” as an expletive).
What’s really striking is how well paced it all is. You probably know the story – three astronauts are forced to fake the first landing on Mars. The movie is fun but does drag in a few places. But when you read it like this, it’s a brisk, zippy page-turner of a story, thanks in no small part to Goulart’s economic prose and pacing. The main downside is that many novelizations expand on certain points to plug in plot holes and help certain story elements make more sense – Goulart doesn’t do that, so the film’s story flaws remain intact. But it’s still entertaining, so there you go. Yang!
FUN FACT: Apparently two novelizations were commissioned for the film. Goulart did the US version, while Ken Follett wrote the other one (as Bernard L. Ross) for the UK market. Apparently Follett’s version expands on Caulfield’s character and his relationship with fellow TV reporter Judy Drinkwater, and adds a coda explaining what happened to him after the final scene in the film.

Een verstrooiend verhaal gebaseerd op de film Capricorn 1. Ik raad je aan om de film op Youtube op te snorren, want het verhaal volgt de film bijna letterlijk en het scheelt je algauw 4 uur lezen. Ik begrijp ook niet helemaal wie na het zien van de film nog grote behoefte had aan het lezen van dit boekje, omdat het voor het betere begrip wat weinig toevoegt. De doelgroep is mij dan ook niet helemaal duidelijk.
De clou van het verhaal is het bekende broodje aap verhaal dat de maanlandingen allemaal in een kelder ergens in Hollywood gefilmd waren. Hier leuk uitgewerkt, maar nogmaals het voegt aan de film allemaal niet veel toe. Tenzij je de film niet gezien hebt, dan is het een vlot geschreven verstrooiend verhaaltje geleverd door een veelschrijver van het zuiverste water. Goede schrijver overigens, volgens goodreads ook al ghostwriter voor William Shatner's Tekwars.
Het bleek bij deze lezing al na enkele pagina's dat ik het bij een eerdere gelegenheid al gelezen had. Nu zette het mij in ieder geval op het spoor van de film zelf, wat een typische avonturenfilm is uit de jaren 70 met stoere mannen en achtervolgingen met helicopters die tegen bergwanden vliegen en dan ontploffen. Het soort dingen waar ik als jongen op een zaterdagavond graag naar mocht kijken. (Elliot Gould, Telly Savalas, altijd leuk). Zoals gezegd, momenteel gratis op Youtube. Gaat dat zien! Of lees het boek, maar allebei tegelijk is dus niet nodig.

Di fantascientifico c'è solo il tema di fondo della missione NASA su Marte, trascurando questo dettaglio, l'intera storia diventa il classico thriller di complotti e spionaggio. L'autore prende eccessivamente in prestito molti elementi della "teoria del falso allunaggio" (probabilmente sviluppatasi proprio negli anni in cui il libro è stato pubblicato) applicandoli al "falso atterraggio su marte" organizzato dalla NASA (che mostra di avere mezzi per nulla invidiabili a quelli della CIA) per ingannare il governo USA ed ottenere nuovi stanziamenti di fondi, fondi che serviranno a perfezionare i macchinari per la successiva - e questa volta vera - missione marziana. Ovviamente tutto questo si scontra con un giornalista a caccia dello scoop della vita e con un eroico astronauta dalla ferrea integrità morale. Il fallimento del "grande inganno" è scontato sin dalle prime pagine. Di una prevedibilità estrema.
Non arriva neppure a due stellette.

The movie was bad and the book was passibly better, but not much.
This one was "a favorite of conspiracy theorists" for a very long time. Why? Because of their mantra: "What if we never actually went to the moon, but that it was all staged at a studio in Hollywood." *chuckles* I remember going to one of the tin-hat rallies in Chicago and listening to the speaker quote almost directly from the book as if it were fact and not a satirical work of (contractually obligated) fiction.
It's a silly book that lost a lot of it's satirical power when it was co-opted by lunatics. I've read it a few times since then with the last reading about 10 years ago. (in case you're wondering how I remember all these dates, I'd write notes on the back of the cover so that I knew whether or not I should take it to the used book store when I needed cash or wanted better books).

El libro me pareció bueno, no he visto la película así que no puedo jusgarlo como lo que es realmente: La novelización de una película.
Se lee rápido y no aburre. Los chistes que cuenta Willis si te sacan varias sonrisas la verdad y la historia es simplemente genial. Lo que no me gustó de este libro es el cierre, queda, a mi parecer, excesivamente abierto, no explica nada, no sabes que ocurrió con algunos de los personajes y te dá la sensación de que le faltaran capítulos al libro, lastima.
En conclusión: una gran idea que no llegó a un buen cierre.
Por cierto, la película en la que se basa este libro es de donde todas esas teorías de conspiración surgieron acerca de que él hombre nunca llegó a la luna y que todo fue fingido por los E.U. y grabado en un estudio de televisión.

This book terrified me to no end. I always thought it was possible that this story was true. I actually saw the movie before I read the book. I happened upon the book in a used bookstore and got it and of course, read it as if I was inhaling it. It's a simple read but great.

¿Ciencia ficción?
Nos preguntamos si aquél primer viaje a la Luna, fué real...
El libro no es extenso, pero se lee con la intensidad de una carrera de 100m.
No le falta acción, suspense y un sentido del humor, casi sarcástico.

I remember reading this book ages ago, I thought the premise as a novel was great. The whole what if the the moon landing was faked scenario. Bit more troubling is that some believe that might be true.

Esperaba otro final, pero es entretenido.

This is a solid conspiracy novel that surpasses the movie which was very good IMO. The novel conveys cynicism, paranoia, disrespect and false patriotism in a tale about faking a still-unfulfilled Mars landing by American astronauts. The plot itself is a standard plot about a governmental cover-up with many evil men trying to stop the leak of their sinister plan. Making a rebellious reporter the hero falls in line with what was going on during the 'yellow journalism' period in american news reporting. This novel moves on in a breakneck speed and it is glorious. So, sit down and enjoy a truly American conspiracy thriller.

Capricornio Uno es una breve novela de ciencia ficción que es la novelización de la película homónima. Algo curioso, porque la novela está basada en la película y no al revés 🙃
Un thriller simple pero efectivo, aunque el humor y los personajes me han parecido sosos y arquetípicos, y la trama tiene un innecesario deux ex machina al final, que resulta poco coherente.
Pero como es una historia que se lee muy rápido, puedo perdonarle los agujeros de guion.

Esto no es una reseña ni nada valorativo sobre la novela, que fue entretenida, pero aquí una curiosidad, una anécdota: leí toda la novela, fragmento por fragmento, sólo durante los tiempos de carga del videojuego Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, su versión en Xbox 360. Gracias a eso, este libro hizo de lo que habría sido tiempo desperdiciado en tiempo aprovechado.

Well it was silly, of course, but good fun for its time and period. I don't know if the UK editoin, (written I think by ken follett?) is available anywhere, but it would be interesting to contrast the two.
October 12, 2020
A fast, guilty pleasure, though if I hadn’t seen the movie several times, I might not have enjoyed it as much. I could hear the voice of Capricorn Control in my head as I read the announcements. The plot was thin but the pacing was good.

This was pretty good. I liked the movie from back in the 70's and this is pretty much the movie in book form. Still enjoyed it.

Muy interesante, bien llevado y sin muchos huecos importantes. Lo único que dejo algo que desear fue el final.
