hhmmm, I dont know what to make of it, if we went to mar's why wouldn't they tell the general public ??

It's a good video, but they can be faked, and it's only two minutes long. If we went to Mar's we would have hours and hours of footage, especialy of astronauts walking around, not just space shots.

I can tell this is a fake. Mars is to large to be filmed whole. I doubt sunlight will be that bright by Mars.

No, why would they? Are they your friends? Your buddies? If you haven't noticed, you are only shown what they want you to see.

it wouldnt suprise me if russia and the U.S had a joint mission already and the video looks pretty real looking foward to hearing what others think of this. sure we'll soon find out if it's real or not

What does that even mean?

Very enjoyable. The shaky camera work, the popping in and out of focus, the brief glimpses of what looks like a plausible spacecraft... all contribute to the illusion of realism. It also appears to have been shot on film, so much the better! Why such brief takes edited together? Why is Mars always in the same phase, irrespective of which feature the craft is orbiting over? Why through a porthole? Why no interior shots? My hunch about this one is that it was professionally done in a studio, using an exquisitely rendered globe of Mars. I'm willing to bet it was stitched together from a Russian science fiction film or Nova style documentary.

Wow! That's really freaking cool man! I mean there is absolutely no way for me to tell if it's really real or anything with what's presented but heck it could be for all I know! It looks really good! If it is real it has many implications! Thanks for putting it up! S&F for sure!

Well, that is interesting footage. However, it carries a number of flaws.

1) If it's an entire mission, why is there only this much footage? Where is the on-the-surface footage? where is the footage with narration (or is there something wrong with my speakers?)

2) The scale seems off, as Romantic_Rebel suggested (though what she actually said doesn't make much sense...), especially in conjuction with the level of detail. But that could just be my ignorance of the topography of Mars.

3) Why would the US and Russia launch a mutual mission in the 1970s? They HATED each other. Or was that a cover?

4) During one of the shots which seems to carry the whole planet, you can see something in the lower right of the window through which the video is being shot. It looks like the ground, but it may be a relection or a distortion. It's probably about 30 seconds in, I forgot to check the timestamp.

I'll be watching this thread closely, in any case! I hope these four points (and any others that we healthy skeptics think of) can be refuted...!

I'm no photo or video expert either. But the footage is deff compelling
I for one truly believe that "man" has been to,landed, and set up bases on both the moon and mars long before the public was even told about space exploration. Why would they? Why would they send all these rovers and surveying missions but not manned missions it would be silly of them not to. Which is why you can ask why we haven't been back to the moon. Too many question will be asked? I think that they have found "things" on the moon and that it why they stopped showing the public men on distant planets and moons cause to many questions would be asked that they can't come up with good enough bs excuses. So they would even dare tell the public about manned mars missions just imagine what try found at cycyndonia region they would never be able to keep stuff like that under wraps if it wS in the public eye and the public new humans were there

Just one question,

Where are the stars?

Thanks


edited to add: I do think that the U.S. corp has already been to mars, just no proof as of yet.

Have you ever watched a sci-fi show? They always send a probe first, if they can. Stargate, they send the Malp or whatever to see what's on the other side, to make sure that they'll be able to breathe. The rovers are there to see if there's anything useful on the surface or beneath the surface, to see if there's any good reason for sending humans. They also might be making sure that there is a place where it's possible to land.
