It’s like when Elon musk sent the roadster car into space.
The “You know it’s real because it looks so fake” moment.
The whole point was to test the falcon x rockets. They needed something really heavy so why not a car, they just needed something heavy.
The thing that bothers me is they filmed a video of the car still really close to low earth orbit. You see the earth taking up most of the shot since it’s still really close. And that’s the end of the video.
The car was supposed to go all the way to mars, but didn’t make it and apparently went to the sun.
My problem is that again, aww shucks we didn’t put a big enough battery to power the cameras so show the earth spinning in space. Just enough to record a little video while the car was really close to earth. But too bad.
There are so many opportunities to film the earth in ways that haven’t been done before, it really doesn’t add up to me.
They convinced everyone that India was landing stuff on the moon by sending a rocket into the sky, then everyone looked at a screen with numbers on it.
No video, no photos, no live stream, nothing. Everyone believes it’s real yet it’s just cartoons on the screen.
You bring up this fact and a sane person will have to admit that it is strange they don’t film or photo anything, considering the supposed Apollo missions and the lack of pictures of earth from space.
