==Other media== {{Gallery |width=150 |align=right |File:Capricorn_One_UK_Cover.jpg|UK version, by [[Ken Follett]] (as Bernard L. Ross) |File:Capricorn_One_US_Cover.jpg|US novelization of ''Capricorn One'', by [[Ron Goulart]] ||Scene from ''Capricorn One'' depicted on the DVD cover of ''A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Moon'', by [[Bart Sibrel]] }} Two novelizations of the film were written and published by separate authors. The first was written by [[Ken Follett]] (under the [[pseudonym]] Bernard L. Ross) and published in the United Kingdom; the other was written by [[Ron Goulart]] and published in the United States.<ref name="Allison">Allison, 2007.</ref> The Follett novel is notable for giving Robert Caulfield more development than the movie does, including giving him something of a relationship with CBS reporter Judy Drinkwater (who has more time in the book than in the movie) and ending the book with him and Judy. The story saves his career and results in his being employed by CBS. Clips from the faked Mars landing scenes have been used for illustration purposes in various Moon landing hoax conspiracy documentaries, notably the Fox TV show ''Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon'' and [[Bart Sibrel]]'s film ''[[A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon]]'' (2001). The latter also features a still shot from the hoax scene on the DVD's front cover. In 2020β2021, ''Capricorn One'' was used as part of an internet prank. A viral video purported to be released by [[WikiLeaks]] was uploaded to [[BitChute]], [[Twitter]], [[Facebook]] and other social media platforms and blogs with a title: "Wikileaks releases - Moon landing cut scene - filmed in Nevada desert". In fact, WikiLeaks released no such video. Close inspection revealed this prank video to be made using clips from ''Capricorn One'' and even various film reels shot on the set of ''Capricorn One'', which were then cut and spliced with stock footage from the Apollo missions and training sessions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/01/28/fact-check-wikileaks-did-not-release-staged-moon-landing-footage/9217263002/|title = Fact check: WikiLeaks did not release footage that proves moon landing staged|website = [[USA Today]]}}</ref>
