This is how NASA would respond to an asteroid impacting Earth

Why do you think they are lying?



What do the people that are lying have to gain by their lies?

a reply to: NicSign

One it does not cut out at 20 km This is area known as MAX Q or area of maximum aerodynamic pressure as rocket
accelerates through lower atmosphere

If you watch the event tracker at the bottom and listen to the narration IT WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!!!

Or is that too much to understand

The "cutout" as you call it is booster shutting down . View switches to cameras mounted on top of booster and on
2nd stage - they are covered up until booster shut down and separation

I suggest you watch and listen closely to the video - everything is explained

a reply to: firerescue

Are you watching the same video? It cuts out then cuts back in to show the space background

a reply to: Argyll

I’d lie for money. Especially for something harmless like a good old fashion fiction space story

a reply to: NicSign

What are babbling about ?

The only thing I see is the tracking camera wavering around as it tries to keep image centered

Listen to the narration and watch the event tracker - the cutout is booster shut down and separation ay which point switched to onboard camera

My post removed for being off-topic? Oh the irony, lol. (I genuinely thought this thread was about asteroid impact threat and ways of dealing with it)

OK, I'll play along.

I'm curious about the history of rocketry. Perhaps you could illuminate me about this.

Early efforts included launching small rockets into the atmosphere. Gradually, rockets got bigger, more powerful, and went higher. At what point did the people building and launching rockets realised rockets couldn't go up into space (or that space is fake, as some people believe)? Why wouldn't they document their findings, why keep it a secret from the public?

The German V-2 rocket used in WW2 went up to 90km high, which is practically space, and could achieve 206 km if launched vertically.
en.wikipedia.org...

BTW, early rocket scientists were from different countries (Germany, Russia, USA), and quite independent from the government.

Another thing is, ICBMs go up into what can be considered space (there's practically a vacuum there), so if rockets don't work in space that would mean the whole defence/attack system is worth zilch.

I can tell you the history of hobbits. Doesn't mean they actually exist

Nice way to weasel yourself out of answering the question.

So the German V-2 and the bombings of London didn't happen? What about ICBMs, are they just dummies for show?

a reply to: wildespace

Did the v-2 rockets go into space to bomb london? I don’t think so. ICBMs don’t go into space either. You have no proof that they do.

a reply to: NicSign

This NK missile went to about 1700 miles up so yes, ICBM's do go into space:

Yes, of course they did. The worlds first man made object to go to space:

Did you really not know that?

List of V2 launches

Check last section of launches of captured V2 from White Sands

Notice how many pass the Karman Line, 100 KM, considered boundary of space

a reply to: firerescue

Yes, I know. But our FE friend will just stick his fingers in his ears and cry "Fake, CGI" etc.

a reply to: NicSign

I look forward to your proof that they don't.

a reply to: OneBigMonkeyToo

But they are just arbitrarily chosen numbers. No one can prove it goes into space. Just smoke and mirrors

It's probably possible to triangulate the altitude of a rocket or satellite, if it's observed by two or more observers separated by a large distance. Or just use this simple method:

As opposed to your arbitrary handwaving dismissal with no attempt to back up any of your claims.

The numbers you don't like (because they prove you to be completely wrong) are derived from repeated observation and experiment, as opposed to your total absence of numbers.

Proof. Where is it?

a reply to: wildespace

And you do this with a satellite? How did you measure the angle?
