Sorry, I was drunk!

Zoom and enhance. We have telescopes that can see a trillion galaxies but we can't get a better image of the moon? Who and how came to the conclusion that black smudge is a rocket?

>>14615520
it's sending out a distress signal

>>14615397
the chinese, of course.

>>14615531
Uhh...no...I had Mother run a more thorough analysis, its not a distress signal, its a warning signal.

It looks more like an arrow.

My personal theory is that China isn't owning up to it because there was a second payload on it that failed to separate

It was probably Elon

Its orbit and metallurgy are consistent with a Chinese rocket and no viable western rockets have been proposed. The fact that the Chinese government claims it is not theirs means less than nothing.

Where the frick are you seeing a rocket wtf

>>14616799
WHERE THE FUCK IS A ROCKET YOU CUNT

HOW IS A BLACK SMUDGE A ROCKET WHAT THE FUCK EHAT THE FUCK

>>14615397
Not like moon isn't already garbage dump of every country space program on the planet lmao
"Mystery garbage" Wow!

>>14617985
>hay guys, you gotta trust the science, science is in charge of the environment, we're doing it all for you, we are mother natures humble servants
>but also we throw our garbage just whereever >we're so flithy and wasteful that even outer space has become a garbage dumb for science
>gotta protect the environment tho, trust the science!

yes actually, no telescope on earth is strong enough to pick up details that small on the moon, despite being strong enough to pick up faint galaxies on the other side of the observable universe

that's for example why probes were sent to the solar system's planets, you can't get a good enough resolution to see anything more than a blob from earth, you need your camera to be up close

we only see distant galaxies "well" because they're gigantic

Hey, at least those birbs are safe from the spicy coof.

>we only see distant galaxies "well" because they're gigantic
From memory the ability to keep a long exposure on them also helps. They barely move in the sky if you focus on a point.
Focusing on a close object, if you've tried with a real camera with a close moving object, is a fucking pain in the ass, especially at night. But distant things at night with long exposures? Far easier.

It's pretty convenient.

>>14618003
Yes, the enviroment of a dead, irradiated, desert space rock is destroy when human object nr 20 vaporize on impact and creates crater nr 13482724078 on the Moon.

>>14618188
yes, but it doesn't matter to the point of that post, because no matter what your exposure time, you aren't going to see something like a dude on the moon with a telescope on earth

>>14616561
with humans

So op photo is made with the absolute best telescope imaging capabilites? The current peak of resolution?

>>14618675
It's hard to beat LRO orbiting from between 12-100 miles up

>>14618675
no, that would be the meme "telescope" they used to "photograph" black holes

if they used that method on the moon they could get a pretty high resolution, but it would be stupidly expensive for something like that

>>14618685
>>14618675
oh yeah, but it wouldn't even work properly because the shadows on the moon move quickly enough to screw up a photo done by that thing

>>14618675
Not at all, I think the media is conjuring up more bullshit like normal.

>>14615397
China. They can't admit to being incapable of early 1960s level spaceflight with the image of a technological superpower they're desperately trying to project. They're literally USSR 2.0.

>>14619620
you mean the ussr that won the space race?

>>14615909
Bullshit. Ripley! you, me, sleeping quarters NOW!

>>14619679
He probably meant the USSR who used German scientists to shoot the racket into the orbit before enybody knew that there was a race and got his ass kicked soon afterwards.

>>14619965
everyone used german rocket scientists

>>14619620
But they've already landed several things on the moon.

>>14615397

Bigots.

It’s entirely equally likely that this Moon landing was done by Uganda, Venezuela, New Guinea, or Jamaica. In fact more likely, since their non-patriarchal societies have enabled them to deconstruct the colonialist hegemony of racist ideas like “2+2=4”. Moon Wakanda will soon liberate all BIPOCs of the world, just you wait.

>>14615397
Well we know it's not SpaceX because their rockets are too busy crashing and burning on Earth lmao

>>14615397
Breakaway Germans

>>14616766
So how/why did it crash? Incompetence? Bad luck? Sabotage?

>>14615520
You need a telescope 200 meters wide to see the Apollo landing site.
The biggest one currently in construction is 30m.

>>14623200
There's literally nothing wrong with crashing things into the moon. It was not accidental and also not malicious

>>14622930
that's some hefty NASA cuck cope right there

>>14618003

>>14621708
So did the Soviets. They just had a comically high failure rate.
