Falcon heaaaavy!

Well, it could be triangulated using stars, but it would seem, space “it’s not supposed” to be so intuitive… Apparently, through a cloudy, dense, scattering atmosphere is the only way stars can be seen.

Also, did you caught how, far from live, the loop of the feed went back at least once… We were first shown the car already cleared of the pod, then back a good couple of seconds?

blah blah blaaaaahhhhhh., conspiracy conspiracy … why do people want to say it is not so … ???

I like to point out weird stuff… But mainly it’s because I would like to see the real space stuff, and know where we really at, on a technological level.

Just consider that either what was shown/told about the Apollo program was a propaganda dramatization, or really… We just have to accept we went back in tech level. Just compare what was achieved “supposedly” in the sixties! It was like sending a car to the moon (without overshoot) landing it, taking off again, thread the needle and connect to an orbiting module traversing at supersonic speeds, get back, and re-enter… Oh there was living people inside the car, that survived without radiation shielding… And just imagine what they would have done if instead of Varta car-like-batteries they had that one that they sent to Oort on that convertible… They would have founded a Moon-base, allegedly…

But this corporate guys, fully sponsored unclassified access, fifty years later got to send literally a car, spinning who knows where, with a mannequin inside… And their main stage crashed in the ocean.

The irk against what could be an otherwise inspiring “from the ground up” attempt at retaking the space-dream without a crazy political race of two opposing superpowers I see obfuscated by continuing with the same kind of doubt-inducing factual proof and inconsistent imagery that the old guys…

Also, as somebody stated, just as CSD, Musk believes in the Simulation Theory as an explanation to our Universe, so either way, it was CGI. :stuck_out_tongue:

New rockets always have lots of bugs to work out. Also, I find that many new HD cameras make things look fake. This was real though. Too much coverage. However, they did spend the first 6 hours showing off manuevers for the military, so thinking there may be something they don’t want us all to know could have some basis in truth

I feel sorry for the aliens. :flying_saucer: :alien:

They’ll stumble across this relic satellite :artificial_satellite: with details about humans and how to find us & think
‘Wow, such a wondrous race.’
As they appoach over their many million year travels, they’ll intercept this ancient vehicle with it’s bizzare ‘dead’ passenger. :red_car:
They’ll keep going, further inspired to find this marvellous race, who can maybe share with them the knowledge of the cosmos. They take with them this lost being & his strange craft, hoping to return him to his rightful resting place. :skull:
They’ll eventually arrive at a toxic, trashed planet with radioactive oceans, destroyed weather systems, horrible mutated life, piles of filth & decaying city ruins, inhabited by deadly unimaginable beasts. :derelict_house: :dragon:
As soon as they exit their landing-craft, they’ll turn around to discover it up on blocks, with its legs missing & the Tesla stolen out of the garage. :poop:
The beings they were so excited to meet, have by then evolved into even nastier, biological extensions of the singularity, who will provide a welcome of brutal capture & torturous study before settling back into their hovels to watch cartoons. :eyes:

…well that’s the possibility in one iteration anyway :grin: :desktop_computer:

To be honest nothing about this really looks fake to me. I went to school and studied graphic design/digital arts media for quite some time and still shoot video and photo’s from time to time. Yes it is possible for this to be CGI, but it’s more likely for the camera’s to appear a little off. All I saw in the video was a bit of lens distortion (probably wide angle lens) and the inability of the camera to capture low light (stars). From the look of it the car is pretty well lit and if the camera is focused on the car, dim stars won’t appear in the shot.

But, yes the delay did make the live stream seem a little odd.

I mean, to a point we know for a fact they are telling it all…

Well I used to work faking pictures… I’m into CGI professionally, currently. What looks weird to me it’s indeed the lack of stars, as usual… but more telling with all those little particles of ice being so clearly visible, the apparent lack of continental masses, and the cuts on the feed on a supposed live event…

All of it can easily be explained and there is certainly no proof of it being fake in any way. I am no longer amazed to see all those videos being put out claiming it to be some sort of hoax. What does however still amaze me is all those ‘apparently’ willing to believe such conspiracies. Why give up on logic, be unwilling to do simple research, turn sense into nonsense, forget about reality and willfully live the conspiracy fantasy. I honestly do not get it, but there clearly is a good market for it, with loads of people loving the bullshit. I guess it’s entertainment I have no taste for … count me out :wink:

This is exactly what I need. Just watch the roadster is going to still make its mars orbit after aphelion. We just need an Elon Musk deal with it meme on que.
