lol I’m an engineer who at one point in the 80’s worked for Boeing developing components for the shuttle and my father in law was an engineer who worked in the mercury and Apollo programs. The photo I posted is an actual photo taken from the command module of Apollo 8 during their moon flyby on the way back to earth. What are your credentials to tell us what truth is?She didn't post a fish eye lens brother. That's a full on fabrication and I've seen much better. The moon is blocking the stars even beyond the surface of it. It's a joke. The moon has a magical surface shadow blocking stars with nothing between the observer and them feet above the surface now? It's horrendously obvious and if people believe that then they are believing what they want, not questioning claims, and buying things simply because they considered someone an "authority" or think they "can't lie" or "won't lie."
When photoshop is being sold as real that has blatant errors in it and people are still fighting to defend it, there is nothing to change their mind. They don't want to see anything but what they already think they see. The alternative is "off limits" and they can't even see any other possibility for reality. It's a dead end for them at that fork in the road, they only have one option.
Arguing with a stop sign is unproductive and hinders people who want to know something because people think they already have it all figured out and nothing will convince them they could ever be deceived by anyone.
I'm not here to prove things to people who think they already know all the "facts." I'm here to tell people who have interest in what things are true and what things are not true that which they would like to look into themselves. If they aren't looking it is simply a wasteful arguing-fest and I consider my time more valuable than that.
Fish eye lenses are the bottom of the bucket for obviously being mislead, but this image was worse.
I addition. . . I'm seeing some seriously heavy emotions attached to this stuff and that is where disagreement becomes insults. I will insult the lie. I will not insult a person who is believing things someone told them, even if it seems to me they should realize otherwise. If I seem to have done so, I didn't intend to and I'm open to being called on it.
It doesn't hurt me one bit if someone cannot see past that, or if they expect me to believe it. But when people start using adjectives that are being indirectly thrown at people for a (very obviously) fake image, I draw the line. Too much emotion, too much attachment, too little discernment.
