yet there was a continuous feed from the moon without a time lag. correct?
It’s bound to have some minutia about it depending on how you want to communicate
Pulling up the moon recording times it’s around 2 second delay with direct communication with a dedicated tower
why is it, that people say that you can see satelites from earth at night, and that they look like stars, yet from iss you should see thousands of blindingly bright shining craft, yet you see none?
Depends, most of them would look small, depending on their orbits, some orbit power my kilometers or higher, at very high velocities, meters per second. I haven’t stopped in long enough to really look for it but logically that would be my answer using common sense
The iss itself orbits in 90 minutes
theyd be reflecting the suns light and be blindingly bright, and theres thousands of them, in other words, you couldnt miss them, yet theyre oddly missing from iss footage
you can see them from the ground appearing to look like stars right?
doesnt add up, does it?
I mean you can see satalites
In iss feeds a lot of times
did you know, that communications and internet are handled by giant undersea fiber optic cables that stretch along the ocean floors between continents?
They are as I said small in comparison to the observed earth and traveling very quickly (meters per second)
if you saw satelites in orbit, theyd be blindingly bright, if youre being consistent, since they look like stars from the ground
I don’t even want to get into the logistics of how ridiculously expensive, improbable that would be compared to just having space flight. No they wouldn’t lol
They aren’t polished diamonds why would they be as bright as a burning ball of plasma
so you understand your reasoning is inconsistent
How is anything I said inconsistent
I’ve been consistent in my information and my reasoning
craft with reflective surfaces reflecting the suns light bright enough to look like stars from the earths surface, yet theyre not from rbit
I never said they were as bright as stars
and the inconsistency is glaringly obvious
I simply said you could spot them from the surface with the aid of tools
they look like stars from earths surface
Not really
They are not as bright
really? ive been told that so many times ive lost count
They look like a satalites <:lul:484994724118134784>
cute
I mean if you really doubt you can travel to a location where the iss will orbit over and take your telescope and search for it but No one could be bothered to I guess
At least here
I’ve done it myself because I love astronomy as part of my middle school learning
so, in addition to that, the time lag between the moon was less than the time lag from the iss, if i remember correctly
Iss is a traveling satalites that orbits earth in 90 minutes
It’s much harder to track then a stationary target on the moon
That orbits in 24 hours
that means nothing in this
Radio waves travel extremely fast, light speed so the lag is milliseconds in travel time
It does
Lol
