Bah! All of this is preceded by James Bond who, if you recall, stumbles over a fake moon set in the 1971 film Diamonds Are Forever. A number of people believe this to be a huge whistle blow, including David Percy. Apparently DP got a few important facts regarding the script writing wrong, and so his claim has been thrown out. I still find it quite an interesting claim, myself. As I currently understand it, nobody has taken credit and no explanation has been forthcoming for why the scene was included. There are also a few vague references from James Bond regarding radiation shielding.
