Houston, We Have a Problem! Page #2

Synopsis: The cold war, the space race, and NASA's moon landing are iconic events that defined an era. They are also fodder for conspiracy theories. In Houston, We Have a Problem! filmmaker Ziga Virc explores the myth of a secret multi-billion-dollar deal involving America's purchase of Yugoslavia's space program in the early 1960s. This masterfully crafted feature-length docu-fiction is an intriguing blend of reality and fiction that recreates recent history through the prism of conspiracy theories. It invites the audience to make up its own mind about what is invented and what is real. In between the blurred lines of reality and fiction, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek asks the billion-dollar question: 'What is truth?' Using a wealth of archive footage, the film brings together all the strands of the myth through an eyewitness account from Ivan, a senior space engineer in the controversial Yugoslav space program. After WW2, Yugoslav intelligence reveals the existence of long-lost space tech

They came up with a plan to transport

the rocket and module

and everything else to a neutral country.

That country was to be Morocco.

Tito's fleet served as a

great disguise

and we managed to cross the

Mediterranean Sea without problems

although Italians and French were

monitoring the sea traffic

and also inspecting vessels.

The sea was calm and we encountered

no problems on the way.

At some point, Tito visited the adjacent

cargo ship via a pulley.

Maybe his wife Jovanka was bothering him

and he chose to withdraw.

Jovanka could be quite annoying at times.

Especially when dealing with us,

members of Security Service.

We can go together for a bit

but then I'm going onward alone.

Where are you going?

-I'll go fulfill my father's wish.

What is it? Am I asking too much?

I'm visiting someone.

-Okay. Your father's friend perhaps?

He's not his friend, he used to be

his operative contact.

I'll call you. -We'll be here.

Let us know when you're finished.

Deal? -Yes. Bye!

Tito stayed in Morocco

for two days.

In this time, all the cargo

had to be unloaded from the ships.

That didn't happen in Casablanca

but rather in a nearby US military base.

In a covert way. Americans loaded

the crates into their ships

and transported them to USA.

We realize that growth and

development is only possible in peace

and that peace is a prerequisite

for existence of socialism,

international cooperation

and global advancement.

Moroccan King couldn't directly

ask Tito and his staff

what were they doing. Intelligence

agencies don't function that way.

From this document it is evident that

King didn't know what was happening.

Did you obtain it from your father's

colleague? Okay, I'll stop asking you.

As a token of gratitude, Tito

gave each of us a gun like this

and thanked us for cooperation.

We returned to Yugoslavia by

different means of transport

because Tito continued his

tour of African countries.

Citizens of Yugoslavia,

my comrades,

new nuclear age and

breakthrough of man into space

caused people to be afraid of the

genius legacy of human mind.

Maybe some of this will be

used outside of our country.

But we are not troubled by it, because

we are not only at the forefront of

great success in development of socialism

but also have the best chance

for further progress,

elevation of standards of living and

creation of better future for all of us.

Let's go. Towards the sea,

if we make it.

We can go there,

to the left.

Actually, no.

To the right. -Where?

If we manage to make it.

-Take care, he'll fall. Wait.

Stop for a bit, think and look around.

-Let's go left.

I took you here because this is where
