>the guy who created blue marble admits, on the NASA website, that it is not a photograph
again, you fuckwits are talking about DIFFERENT PHOTOS. pic related is from the article you're quoting, showing Robert Simmons in front of the "Blue Marble". Note that that is the 2002 version (which is a composite); those of us who are versed in geography will recognize that North America is facing the viewer in it, whereas the 1972 Blue Marble has Africa front and center. >>8906505 See how they're different images?
do you realize that the very excerpt you quoted confirmed that the 1972 picture was indeed an unaltered photograph?
>The last time anyone took a photograph from above low Earth orbit that showed an entire hemisphere (one side of a globe) was in 1972 during Apollo 17.
what a fucking moron you are.
