Really good proofs including compass proof

0:45 seconds in? I think its his graphics card and program :chuckle:
Not making fun of him, we just can't be jumping to the 'first' conclusion all the time.
1:10 We have to do what is called oversampling to get pictures.
To get Jupiter? A computer has to pass over the image hundreds to thousands of times to capture clarity. Example: if you had a camera that took 30 frames (pictures) a second, and all of them turned out blurry, you could combine them with a good computer program and get a much clearer picture by the combination.
Essentially, all space pictures ard done this way especially from the earth. I've seen oversampling (think perhaps, digital focussing) of the moon on Night Skies Network.

1:30 Reporters wouldn't know what footage to put where. News stations would have no way of knowing the footage they were all tying together was either in space or low orbit. Good catch? Well, that's okay, but insufficient to cast the problem upon NASA. It would just not be good editing by the news station. They aren't rocket scientists though.
1:45 Sure, reporting, why wouldn't they use blue-screen/green-screen?
He was already back. Networks couldn't follow him into space. Remember the oversampling requirement for clear pictures? It sometimes takes hours. Neil Armstrong wouldn't have been able to get a sentence out if they tried for a sharper picture, but if they already had...they'd just need to superimpose him. Sometimes, I think just a little bit of technology education would help on some of these :think:
2:00 Wire harness. Yes, they practiced. The cameras weren't allowed on flights of course, but they were allowed often during pretraining. Again, as far as I'm aware, it isn't a NASA problem but a network problem. Again, they aren't rocket scientists, but I'm not sure they were trying to dupe anybody, just add footage to get the 'scoop' (newspaper talk for 'story') In a number of ways, newscasts are a big production like any television or stage show, even down to news anchors sitting in make-up chairs. Trump is right there is a lot of 'fake' even when the new is trying to not be fake (I used to write for a newpaper in Alaska. I wasn't as good as Michael "scoop" Bowen).
2:11 No idea why the mike isn't in the guy's hand. Zero gravity simulation?
I could keep going, but it seems to me, these are good observations but no real problem 'unless' somebody is lying about them but none of these that I saw misrepresented anything. It was just 'supposed.' For me, bad journalism and my editor would have wrung me out. Today? I might get a pat on the back and a contract with the National Enquirer :noway:
Just kidding, while there is definitely bias in the news media, they'd still get in trouble for purposeful fabrication. I am with Trump on this, though: The news media has a liberal bias. When Obama was in office? Police abuse and wrongful shootings. With Trump? Police officers being shot in the line of duty. As soon as Trump made it in office and called news media on the carpet, we've seen a change and better (not perfect) responsible reporting. Back to the topic...
