In 1977 Alternative 3 uncovered a plan to make the Moon and Mars habitable in the event of climate change and a terminal environmental
The programme was originally meant to be broadcast on April Fools Day, 1977. While its broadcast was delayed until June 20, the credits explicitly date the film to April 1. Alternative 3 ended with credits for the actors involved in the production and featured interviews with a fictitious American astronaut.

It was claimed that scientists had determined that the Earth's surface would be unable to support life for much longer, due to pollution leading to catastrophic climate change. Physicist "Dr Carl Gerstein" (played by Richard Marner) claimed to have proposed in 1957 that there were three alternatives to this problem. The first alternative was the drastic reduction of the human population on Earth. The second alternative was the construction of vast underground shelters to house government officials and a cross section of the population until the climate had stabilised, a solution reminiscent of the finale of Dr Strangelove. The third alternative, the so-called "Alternative 3," was to populate Mars via a way station on the Moon.

1977 - Evidence that green pyramid, purple blotter and window pane was easily available and widely used.

Yeh, the CIA bought up the entire output of Sandoz LSD and sold it all over the world in the 70s. Allegedly...

I still have a cassette recording of the original tv broadcast of Alternative 3.

So it is easier to make those dead bodies inhabitable that to fix the other that will always be a lot easier to work with than either of the other two?

the moon is going to be struck by a
large asteroid early next year.

This is the reason a lunar exploration and
possible base construction was halted.
