Fakery in Orbit: THE I$$

[Maat]

Nice jagged edges around the "porthole" rims too

Absolutely "nice" jagged, grey edges, Maat...Just the sort of stuff you'd expect from sloppy photoshopping:

Yes Simon, and even more glaringly obvious in their huge silhouette version:



This is the 'original' fake image they altered again so an 'astronot' would show on their main page:


From full size original that's presented as Nasa's Astronomy Picture of the Day, page dated: 11-15 -2010 [=11]
Exif Data

I wouldn't stand for such shoddy work on real window seals of a house on Earth, but they expect people to believe this is what was produced to keep people alive in space! Yeah, right

Oh, but Reel will be pleased to know, we can haz starz!


[Reduced & cropped] Levels of original: Black Point = 0; White Point = 255
Adjusted to: Black Point = 0 ; White Point = 20

I guess they must have really twisted her 'arm' for this, huh?

Re Pythagorean numerical value of letters: ISS = 911

Or:

Ya, that's definitely their 'copyright' stamp!

Ha! Someone else queried anomalies in the picture with cropped examples, on the comments page linked from that ISS astronot image on Starship Asterisk* APOD and General Discussion Forum: by owlice » Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:44 pm

Not about the crappy jagged edges of the "windows" though, which are the same in these 'pics' of the Cupola ISS on Wiki too:

The unmeshing of NASA from its birthplace in pop Science Fiction (Walt Disney, Star Trek, Aliens, Rendezvous with Rama, etc.) has been split to its own thread, as I felt it was extremely relevant that Arthur C. Clarke and others were mentioned as culprits of misunderstanding our world.

Didn't know where to put this but here it is:


If you watch the video below closely, you can clearly see the sun through Venus i.e. Venus seems to be transparent!

Several users in the comments section have also picked up on this interesting anomaly.

Unless its some unexplained physical phenomenon which we don't yet know about or NASA felt the need to fake the Venus transit footage.

Start the vid from 1:04

The SpaceX Dragon space vehicle returns to Earth from its rendezvous with the ISS and splashes down. This momentous occasion is recorded in crystal clarity with the best photo technology and equipment the media can provide so that every detail of this complex operation is clearly visible to the public:

yeah... SISS SpaceGal stannin for Sigourney can even haz gots starz on her T-shirt aswell.

Ditto! Perfect caption, Lux

Yep but I'd be seein' starz too if someone bent my forearm like that!

Walter Cugno, TAS Program Manager International Space Station (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/walter-cugno/23/82b/596) has recently announced that TAS (Thales Alenia Space - http://www.thalesgroup.com/Markets/Spac ... nia_Space/ ) and Orbital Science Corp. (http://www.orbital.com/ ) has won a US$1 900 million NASA contract to supply the ISS with food, scientific equipment and clothing nine times 2012-2016. Orbital provides the rocket and TAS the service module Cygnus. The module can initially transport 2000 kg of supplies at each of the four first flights and later maybe up to 2700 kg each flight. It seems it will cost the tax payers US$ 100 000:- to fly one kilogram of whatever to ISS. There are no limits in the space biz.

18:50 - The footage of the recent Space X dragon launch freezes after 5 seconds after take off. Un-freezes at 18:58 and its 14 seconds after take off.

18:58 - The camera is facing downwards to the Earth but its being drenched by water droplets. The day of the launch seems to be a fairly sunny and cloudless day so how is the Rocket going through precipitation clouds only after 14 seconds since lift off? Unless I'm mistaken, rain clouds don't form so low especially on sunny days!

There is a Warner Bros. movie called Inception which is said to have a "weightless fight scene" (I haven't seen it) which was filmed using a large and elaborate rotating set which was spun to simulate weightlessness and other tricks.

Someone evidently made a YT video explaining how it was done but WB had it removed.

But, there is this MTV interview of one of the stars who said something interesting in the interview.
http://www.mtv.com/videos/movies/539281/joseph-gordon-levitt-describes-filming-the-inception-hallway-scene.jhtml

While waving his arm around in circles he says, “We weren't in one of those zero gravity machines ...”

I presume he is referring to an RPM (random positioning machine) which is no secret and they are used to simulate weightlessness on a small scale. I personally suspect this is how the ISS hoax is done, that is, with a large scale RPM, but the way this actor says "one of those zero gravity machines" with the arm gesture suggests that he has seen or at least knows about RPMs. Perhaps because they were considered for use in this movie? (Just my conjecture)

watched them few weeks ago, load of shit. wires and big rotating drum 'hallway',
like the 'house of fun'; with rapid edits...

in the 'Apollo 13' movie - Tom Hanks & Kevin Bacon have much longer bouts of 'weightless'
'zero-G' floating around scenes, OBVIOUSLY not shot on a 'vomit-comet'; within the limited
20 second 'freefall' parabolas. ergo... 'zero-G' simulation has been successfully recreated -
on earth. Richie from 'Happy Days' knows...
