How long has NASA been faking the ISS feeds?

a reply to: Roxstar

So, like I said, no plausible explanation.

That first video was for a commercial. I didn't watch the second one.

a reply to: Roxstar

There was some guy who worked at a cable or satellite station I believe... He recorded a bunch of VHS tapes of NASA distorting the image or changing the feed when something interesting started to happen, ufo's appearing for instance...

He actually had some pretty interesting stuff and comments...

Secret NASA Tapes or something...

Ah, here it is... My memory was close, it's called "Secret Nasa Transmissions"...

For five years, Martyn Stubbs, a Canadian cable TV station manager, accessed and recorded 2,500 hours of Space Shuttle transmissions. This collection also features interviews with key participants, plus 90 minutes of ‘raw footage’ - including the world-famous STS-75 ‘Tether’ sequence!

Here's a question.

How would we react as a species if knowing we can never leave the earth?

You know that feeling you get when your hand or arm falls asleep.

Imangine that, but your whole body, all at once. Because without our EM field. We would cook like a hot pocket in a microwave

They've been lying and so now they have to continue the lie. Very easy to put a camera on a spindle in a small confined room. Always the same room too. The ISS is huge. Yet we've only ever see one.

i am by no means a flat earther but i also have seen things with my own eyes on a live feed i was just watching the earth go by and i saw a crazy reflection in the ipad of a french astronaut that looked like he was NOT on the ISS as in the reflection it was clearly on earth as there were non astronauts and like TV set looing stuff

You’re talking about the X-37B, and it didn’t go anywhere. There are two, and they’ve been alternating their missions. They spend several years in orbit, because they’re unmanned, but they stay in orbit. The X-37C was supposed to be manned but it was never built. The X-37B has a payload bay the size of a pickup truck bed, and the ground crew are taller than its fuselage. It’s far too small to carry anyone.

there are plat forms like "MISTY" floating around and so who knows what else is up there stealthily flying around the earth

No-one to this day has ever come up with anythong like a plausible reason why NASA/Russia/China and almost every other nation on earth would want to fake thses videos.
What's the point?

I can think of a couple of reasons. One is the possibility there is something coming that no one wants to explain. Another is they like the flat Earthers and are giving them some material to keep that theory rolling. ... some sarc there, yep.

Still if this is more than an occasional training video getting out without proper introduction, it would have to mean things are being hidden. Militarily they would need to protect secrets, and we can't forget it could be about "aliens in UFO's". Not sure about anything but the Military side of this. It is paramount to protect our military secrets.

We know we know. Did you forget Star Wars? Cool fx....same movie time stuff.

But it isn't faked..

Never understood the "if I can recreate it, then it isn't real argument. We can recreate almost anything in video with today's technology, but that doesn't "prove" anything is fake. If you want to argue the ISS footage is fake you can't just put someone in front of a green screen and call it done lol

Not to mention Fritos would not be allowed in space. And the bag would explode among other things.

Ya that's the one. I didn't know it was unmanned tho. I just remember that it was going out into space on missions. I don't recall it just staying in low orbit tho.

Ya I am not a "flat earther" either. That theory has been debunked several times.
There was a video not long ago of some kids in the US who launched a helium balloon with a Go Pro on it, and it went high enough you could easily see the curvature of the earth. They had a GPS on it as well, so were able to track it when it landed. It landed about 100 mile away from where they launched it. Very cool idea anyone could perform.
Besides, all the other stars, planets and suns are all round, so why would Earth be any different.

Previous missions were tracked by multiple amateurs over the course of the mission. The interesting thing about the X-37 is that it’s able to radically change its orbit during the mission. People tracking it lost it for several days on the first mission, because it changed its orbit so much. It stays in low orbit testing new technologies. On one of the previous missions they spent almost two years testing an improved Hall thruster that was mounted in the payload bay.

a reply to: Roxstar

They definitely fake some of it, too many times been caught out with graphic manipulation and using chroma key.

Why they do it, i have no idea.

Some of the early space videos are laughable.

a reply to: Roxstar

Not that i'm a flat earther however a gopro uses a fish eye lens which would distort the image. Don't think you'd notice too much curvature even at that altitude.

True, but some of the ISS mission feeds I've seen when they are doing their space walks, definitely show a curve.
Possible it's just a wider curve, so it's not as easy to see, especially in low orbits.

I'm curious about what other technologies they may be testing out there. Any ideas?

a reply to: Roxstar

They’ve actually announced several. There was a new method of cooling using an oscillating heat pipe. The current mission, launched in 2020, is testing beaming power technology for the Naval Research Lab.

I remember some of these old STS videos that show some interesting stuff. Like this STS-75, where it shows these objects gathering around this tether. I'm not sure what these orbs are, but the fact that they seem interested in this tether is mind blowing. In some ways, I think space is a lot of what it's like in the deep ocean, with all the mysterious sea life and organisms down there. These orbs definitely have a certain amount of intelligence I would say.

Start at the 3:25 mark

In this next one, we see these weird looking orbs too. They seem a bit different than the ones in the previous video. We can also see the curve of the earth in this one too.

I remember seeing an old STS video quite a few years ago, where it showed one of these orbs descending to the clouds, then turning around and jetting off in a split second. A missile of some kind is fired from the surface to try and shoot this orb down, but the orb detects the attack and takes off. I can't seem to find the video on you tube anymore. But it may be in one of the forums here at ATS. This video really made me go WTF!? Why are we shooting at these things?
Any of you remember that video?
