The picture taken of the earth from the moon so to speak has always been
the only earth shot ever widely published. Save for a few by Voyager.
So I guess with all those billions of dollars we peasants only get to
see one picture of the earth, and guess what..the universe is empty.

Take those cameras used by the city news channels. You can see them on
many buildings. I have watched the news too many times to see sunset
filmed for all to watch as they run the credits. The moon can sometimes
be clearly resolved by those very same cameras, and the sun hasn't set
yet, and so we also see the stars on occasion. Yet I have to this day
to see a live camera shot of the earth with perhaps a setting sun and
maybe even a moon shot to boot, from outside the earth. And to tell you
the truth, the stupid ass cartoons we call the "weather news" I am
getting pretty sick of. You must believe that the whole planet buys
that kind of crap, that we cant put a camera in outer space and see
stars with it.

Face it, the whole political world doesn't release half of the science
going on to the public, nor do they release images which any live videos
specialist can tell you makes cartoons fit for only stone age dummies.
The secret powers that be must think thats all we peasants really
deserve to see.

In other words the sheer lack of images released to the public smacks of
a cover up and conspiracy to decieve the public on a worldwide scale.

The other night there was a program on about the ISS and they showed so
many images of the earth...where cities and cloud formations can clearly
be seen? Why aren't these kind of images on the news especially for the
weather? ANd dont tell me the ISS doesn't have cameras all over it, I
already know that it does. Oh I get it, countries want to kill each
other, so we must keep secrets from each other, and thus our very own
public is not allowed to know.

Other images included sunset...and I looked carefully to see if there
are other stars around and about...and lo and behold I saw a few images
with my own eyes of stars captured by the Shuttle camera as it
approached the ISS. Now let me see you explain that away...like a dumb ass.

NASA to this day is silent on what stars look like from space when seen
with the naked eye? Why all those brilliant minds at NASA dont, or
wouldnt or couldnt or maybe they do realize that children would ask such
dumb questions. But I know, stars cant be seen with the naked eye from
space, and thus the earth looks as if its just sitting there, revolving
around ...er..on..er..whatever..just empty space.

Well the naked eye sees plenty of stars, and my video camera takes
plenty of pictures with stars in them. Unfortunately my video camera is
in use on the ISS.
