Nice picture taken from a spaceship-

Is this fake?

In b4 picture of Tattooine.

I'm sorry to say but sadly it's fake.

i suppose it depends on who you ask. but no in reality it is not. it was taken inside the Cupola module. the lady in the picture is Tracy Caldwell Dyson.

hear is a picture taken from the outside of the station looking at the module

It's 100% fake.
Take a look at her ear and her neck. Look at the way she is looking and her body shape. There should not be neck creases like that but if you look closely for instance, zoom in a little bit, you will see that her ear has been manipulated, not to mention the pixels  around her arm.
Look at her line of sight as well, she's not looking at earth, she is looking into space when you consider that you can see a circle of earth through her right side.

It's fake just like all the rest of them.

Let's put this the right side up, as it's terrible having to stand on your head to view Thaggies pic of another fake. I think a kid could put a better photo shopped head in that.

Those lines look more like the ones that show up if you lean against something for a while, not that it matters to this picture at all. Also, no pixels appear edited, you are probably talking about her sleeve lol. Finally, she doesn't have to be looking at earth in the first place, but she might be in this picture you just can't tell. It looks like she may be looking at the edge of the earth to me.

Direction depends on your reference/perspective. Both pictures aren't wrong.

Fair enough, I can't argue the point of where she's actually looking but check out her creased neck and ear and you can see manipulation if you zoom in a bit.

Look at the photoshopped head lol, I mean, let's be honest, I've seen better cartoon heads grafted on to real bodies that look more legit than that.

I addressed those in the post. Well, not the ear but I fail to see how that's manipulated either. Honestly there's an easier way for you to say its fake and it involves no manipulation.

It's not photoshopped and it doesn't even look that way. His body isn't even there FYI. The whole point of that picture is because he is in the window.

Of course I could say, "it's not in space" and " "where's the stars" but I'll concentrate on the blatant manipulations. Her ear and neck are a classic.

I can plant a head in as good as that and I'm a novice at it.

That's not evidence that its photoshopped though. I still don't understand why you think it's been manipulated in the first place.

stating its fake is not evidence for it being fake its a statement of opinion. and what happened to your vacation?

hear are 3 more photos

i suppose that these are all fakes as well but you wont give us any reason or evidence to prove it.

I think we've already had this discussion:

Pythagoras, you're missing a subtle but key difference. We, nor anyone, can spot a flawlessly photoshopped image, but it's not the photoshopping that we notice that makes us believe its fake, it's the content. If you saw a flawlessly photoshopped image of a man sitting at his desk in a pool of lava, would assume its real because no one could spot a single photoshop error? Of course not, you would think its photoshopped because of the content.

In short, us not being able to spot a technical error in an image does not prove that the image is real.  It only proves that we can't spot any technical errors in it.

I think just about everyone can see the pictures are fakes but those that hang on to the told space theme I suppose will refuse to allow themselves to believe they're faked, which is fair enough I suppose.

fair point sadam but im not the one asking if this photo is a fake im just anserwing by saying no.

If Donald duck was looking out of that window and it was from an official source that told you Disney characters were being given a tour of the space station as a reward for all their hard work in bringing children joy for all these years, you would not see any fakery in the picture.

and sceptic once again you comment is nothing but opinion unfounded in statistical evidence or popular culture. maby if you could do a broad survey from different sections of society asking if they believe space flight is a hoax and get back to us we could have something to discus. somehow i doubt you will do that.

but it isnt a duck its a person so you point is irrelevant at best.

Well, your name was only part of that quote.  I wasn't specifically aiming it at you.  It just seemed like that was the direction this thread was going.

i think its the only way a thread based on a photo can go.

Is this fake?

It depends. Is she flying a tie interceptor?


She's stood by the little window at the front, right?

Yes that's her. Damn it. 

Nah more like this...

Hmmm... I wonder why she's leaning on her elbow when she's weightless.

That's a good question. Why is she resting her head on her hand? Surely it wouldn't be any more comfortable as her head doesn't weigh anything. Stupid NASA.

A very good point.
