how come we dont have a real photo of earth?

I asked Kelly "who else is there in the studio with you?" but I didnt get an answer roflmao

You got no answer because he has real questions to answer...he isn't on there to entertain conspiracy theorists such as yourself.

speaking of gullible astronot scott mckelly did an AMA on reddit.

What was the date you asked this question, and could you provide a screencap of your question to him?

And it's Scott Kelly not McKelly and it was done in January when he was still on the ISS...link to his AMA on Reddit...

www.reddit.com...

Good try, but your now just trolling.

it was hardly a serious Q&A sessions. People were asking him questions like "whats it like to masturbate in space" and other similar nonsense.

The apparent magnitude of the Sun is -26.72 which about 18 times greater than the apparent magnitude of Sirius.

The difference is actually a lot, lot greater. A difference of one in magnitude corresponds to a change in brightness by a factor of about 2.512. The Sun is 400,000 times brighter than the full Moon.

I linked to his AMA so again which question is from you?

Actually, lying goes beyond trolling.

Jesus. You're still at it? I dropped out of this waste of time last night and went to bed.
If you are going to troll, could you at least make it interesting? I'm actually a little embarrassed for you. You just keep moving the goal posts. You wanted and unstitched picture of Earth, I gave you one on the first page.
And no, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Enjoy looking stupid.

Just trying to give the benefit of doubt, but I see the trolling is actually a lie after looking though the AMA that the OP thinks proves his premise of this thread.

He just told you, you asked a dumb question and he ignored it.

Does NASA pay people (lighting, sound, cameramen, gaffers, props, makeup & etc) to sit around in studio to provide fake movies for random video chats?

You do know that you can see the ISS going overhead (only 400 miles up, remember) with a good pair of binoculars or a cheap telescope. Why would anyone bother to fake it if its obviously up there?

I just brought up the ama to make a point about gullibility of nasa fanboys.

Did you read the part where kelly actually insisted he is really on the iss? did you see the super-convincing picture that he posted on his twitter?

people who fell for that ARE gullible.

You must be reading a different AMA, because most questions asked were good and serious questions that he answered.

I see denying ignorance has gone right out the window with this thread...so I have to ask why, are you an ex NASA employee that has a bone to pick with them?

It's one of them hollowgrams.

a reply to: clevargenuis

Kelly posting his image on the ISS as "proof" was to establish to his audience that he "really" is on the ISS. yeah sure, kelly, a photo on your twitter is the ultimate proof.

So what part of the AMA wasn't done in January while he was on the ISS, because he didn't return until March...but somehow he was on Earth while he was in space, and we know he was in space because we have footage of his return.

Who's gullible now, because only the gullible would believe he wasn't on the ISS during his AMA, especially when we have proof he was there and did his AMA while he was there.

Yeah, I just did some 'back of the envelope' calculations but you can use the difference in apparent magnitudes to calculate brightness differences.

Probably HAARP or PIANOOFOORTE or some similar instrument.

Or Operation TealBeam!

No him returning to Earth two months after his AMA is proof he was in space on the ISS when it was done.

Unless your saying his return was faked...because then that would require actual evidence, can you provide that?

That would be a no.
And don't forget, NASA lies about everything.

a reply to: clevargenuis

yes.. why did the Curiosity mission to mars not take a picture of Earth halfway before reaching Mars..? Or any other deepspace mission for that matter...
