Indeed, it is literally incredible, in that it is an obvious hoax.
I find it ironic that the accusation that the moon mission and the space program are hoaxes is made by some flat Earthers, while accepting as a real a photograph that is quite obviously fake, and if it actually existed and were not a product of Adobe Photoshop, a tool NASA most assuredly did not have access to (neither did Stanley Kubrick; the idea he faked the lunar landings is particularly laughable given the difference in the appearance of the Earth and the Lunar surface and mechanically impossible space suits in 2001: A Space Odyssey, whose impressive special effects were in development at the same time as the actual space program, but the errors in retrospect greatly annoyed Arthur C. Clarke, for even the stars depicted above the lunar surface, which would not develop in lunar daylight in real life due to the extreme intensity of the solar reflection across the surface of the moon) , aviation across Europe would be geometrically impossible.
Perhaps passengers on airliners are actually anaesthesized and then loaded onto railway carriages? The TGV and ICE high speed trains, and later the Channel Tunnel, became necessary when they ran out of actors to play airline passengers. And the reason why America lacks high speed rail outside of the Northeast is that only New York City, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Baltimore and a tiny slice of Delaware actually exist, and everyone from the South, the West and Canada is a member of one of four great acting companies, one of which consists of Spaniards, another of French Thespians, another which specializes in playing Southerners and is comprised of posh English actors from Oxford and Cambridge, and yet another which plays all the other Americans, and all of the English speaking Canadians, and is comprised of a mix of Irish actors and actors recruited from the few actual cities of North America.
Doubtless my Canadian friends
@MarkRohfrietsch and
@Andrewn can under pressure confirm that all of Canada is actually a giant soundstage in Belfast, where New Zealand is filmed during the winter months (hence the visual similarity between the Lord of the Rings films and the Game of Thrones miniseries), since of course New Zealand is impossible, as the Kiwis and Maoris alike, if they actually existed, would have to master the impossible art of walking upside down.
Although I suppose that would explain how the
Spiderman movies are made. Ah, that explains it,
@Carl Emerson is spiderman!
By the way humor aside a blessed Feast of All Saints to my Eastern Orthodox friends including my other Kiwi friend (on this site)
@Ignatius the Kiwi and
@prodromos and
@PsaltiChrysostom and a blessed Feast of St. Barnabus and Corpus Christi Sunday to my Western Christian friends. Today is the 8th Sunday After Easter on the Syriac Orthodox calendar as followed by the Suroye, but the First of the Middle Sundays on that followed by the St. Thomas Christians of India such as our friend
@coorilose and today my Coptic friends
@dzheremi and @pavelmosko begin the Apostles’ Fast, which in splendid Coptic tradition is longer and more intense than in even the Byzantine Rite, which is still following the joyous hymnal known as the Pentecostarion or Flowery Triodion used from the Feast of the Resurrection until a few days from now, when the Octoechos and Monthly Menaion resume their dominance until Septuagesima rolls around and the hymnal known as the Lenten Triodion takes over, all the way through the Vesperal Divine Liturgy on Holy Saturday. Were it not for the intense variety of the Byzantine, Syriac and Coptic calendars, one could almost call the period where the Triodia and their Oriental Orthodox equivalents (thePla Coptic Annual Psalmody and Khiakh Psalmody used during the Nativity Fast, known in the West as Advent, the Syriac
fanqitho and the Armenian Directory) are not in use “Ordinary Time” but I would argue that the Byzantine Rite lacks a concept of Ordinary Time, an ideal that the Western Liturgy should aspire to. Vestments and paraments can change from gold to red to blue to white, and occasionally to green or in Lent, purple or violet or black, due to specific observances distributed evenly throughout the liturgical year, including the summer months, where in several Western churches an unfortunate lull has been allowed to develop as a result of moving the Feast of the Transfiguration from August 6th to the last Sunday before Lent.
