Title: What are rocket and space shuttle launches?
Post by: Ubuntu on July 14, 2006, 05:38:13 PM
I have witnessed a space shuttle being launched so where does it go? How can I watch it go into the sky and disappear and then watch it return from the sky later?

It's an aeroplane (or a "spaceship" of sorts, as long as it continues emitting enough fuel to stay ahead of the Earth, it can fly under the FE model no problem). It's probably not going where They tell you it's going, of course.

Perhaps you don't realize what he's saying. I too have witnessed a shuttle launch (well, it was on television, but it's the same principle). The camera is constantly focused on the shuttle, with no jumps in film, and no camera cuts, and after it disappeared from site on the ground cam, they switched over to the shuttle cam, which showed it start to permeate the earth's atmosphere, before it had to be turned off so that it wouldn't cause interference with the radio in the shuttle. On the shuttle cam, I actually saw the sky start to turn darker as it got closer and closer to reaching the end of the atmosphere.

...These can be faked with today's imaging technology. Maybe not the live-launch, but the image's on the rocket's camera can be faked. Again, I'm on your side, I'm just saying what's possible.

Dogplatter has just admitted that the rockets and space shuttles travel to outer space.

They just don't go exactly where thousands of dedicated scientists tell us they're going.

There are videos and images of space craft in the depths of space, would you like to watch those?

Did I not just finish saying videos can be faked?

Have you ever watched the matrix? If you notice, there are about a thousand smiths. Are there really that many of the same guy? No. It's an image. It looks extremely real. It is very easy to take a black backround, and sprinkle a few white dots on it to make an image of deep space.

If the image of take off is real, then why isn't the image of it in space? It would seem logical that's where it went, that's where you say it take off to.

You can also watch similar videos of space craft landing again, akin to them taking off.

That's slander; he's said no such thing.

As for the camera "switching over to shuttle cam", um, how do you know the new view is really from the shuttle?  How do you know they're not switching over to NASA-sound-stage-cam or NASA-blue-screen-cam or NASA-CGI-cam?

Erasmus, this question is dierected at you...

Ok, if there was the launch and it stayed up for too long, wouldnt linear acceleration while nearing the speed of light be impossible to sustain for anything of considerable mass, as a space shuttle usually has?

The space shuttle does not near the speed of light relative to the Earth.  It only needs to sustain linear acceleration long enough to get out of view from the ground.
