Wait -- you don't really think the video shots of the Tesla car with the earth in the background are real, do you?
.
How come you're not accusing them of using a blue screen or CGI?

Just yesterday an astronomer on the radio reported that many amateur astronomers all over the world are tracking the course of the Spacex Tesla roadster in space, because using high powered telescopes from earth they are actually able to see it as it drifts slowly away from the earth.

So according to your outlook, all these amateur astronomers are conspiring to deceive everyone? Sounds like the default position to me!

It's not unreasonable that a studio mock-up was used to produce reliably clear images in ADVANCE that would be made public ON THE OCCASION of the launch of the Tesla roadster. Think about it. How could they have planned on positioning a camera in just the right place while the car is set loose from the space pod, with Earth in the background? Are they going to have a second probe tossed off of the probe whose only purpose is to be rocketed around to various angles and trajectories so as to capture the perfect shot without sun glare, dark spots, overexposure, bad focus, improper frame position or other concerns? Was there a boom attached to the bottom of the car at the end of which was mounted a camera with capacity to receive, process and excecute technical adjustments while transmitting the signal of the recorded image back to the probe, which would in turn relay the information back to earth? I'd like to see the price tag for such a rig -- no doubt it would be a hundred times more than the cost of shooting a studio model. And if anything went wrong with the plan nobody would be getting that essential adrenaline rush of seeing the car and SpaceMan drifting off with "Don't Panic!" displayed on the dash screen. The fact is, the whole purpose of the car, the stuffed space suit and the Panic screen was to obtain the adrenaline rush worldwide, the echoes of which will perhaps outlive the very roadster it refers to. All it would take is one asteroid and POOF the roadster is history. We just had another one whisk by, measuring 200 meters in diameter. If one of those were to hit the earth it would make for a really bad day for millions of people. And if they were to have published the explanation that what everyone saw was a faked roadster and Spaceman view, what good would that do for the all-important worldwide adrenaline rush? It's a matter of priorities. There shouldn't be any doubt that Elon Musk's roadster is on its way around the sun, perhaps for "millions of years," and the reality of that in the minds of dreamers deserves a reliably memorable image from day one. What crime is there in giving the dreamers what they crave?

Do you really believe the earth is "flat" or are you just faking it in your lame attempt to make Catholics look like dimwits?

BTW thank you for actually reading my post!
