A testament to today's digital age being able to send high resolution images 250,000 miles across empty space back to planet earth.

Back in 1969 they had to send small black and white squares one a time, then stitch them all together to make one wide view picture, and it took a lot of time to move all the data.

Covered with impact craters, and the Earth got hit just as hard. It was a rough neighborhood for awhile.

Still is. The amount of stuff that burns up in our atmosphere is incredible. No atmosphere to stop that stuff from hitting the moon, so, more craters.

Just a few weeks ago - An asteroid just exploded above Ohio with the force of 250 tons of TNT

A 7-ton asteroid moving at 40k mph would make a pretty big dent!

Of course you do. Because you have absolutely no idea how the research and technology that went into doing that is responsible for so much of the technology that we have today. It is pure ignorance on your behalf, coupled with a complete lack of imagination.

If you want to remove your head from your anal sphincter, you can look at a SHORT and incomplete list of things that we have now because of the research and technology development that has come from space travel. This isn't everything, and then some of these technologies have been further improved and led to additional developments since. Heck even some of the things on the "misattributed" list have been improved by NASA technologies so much that they wouldn't exist in their current form otherwise. Medical imaging, for example, has benefited tremendously just from some of the software developed by NASA for other projects. Turning a "smudge" in an old image into something recognizable today as say, an early stage cancer, well, you should be able to imagine why that might be important.

Absolutely.

Yeah, it's best to try to educate the ignorant on why it is they have no clue what they're talking about so that they make better, more informed decisions in the future.

But a swift punch in the nose probably has more of an effect for some folks, 'cause they're just not ever gonna get it otherwise. Or maybe at all.
 

This is a great showing of the latest high definition images of the Moon, Earth, visible Planets, and the Crew, in the pictures of this 11 minute video.

Worth the Watch:

Not necessary. The man expressed his opinion in a non confrontational manner. This just muddies the otherwise excellent points that you made.

Well, he's entitled to his opinion. Where he crossed the line was, he totally invaded Buzz's space and in public. Ambush style. He was askin for it and received it. LOL
 
Artemis II coming home:



Hope all goes well, that cutting into Earth's atmosphere is a tricky deal, that needs to come in at the perfect angle of approach.

He's not entitled to his own facts. That whole "I'm entitled to my own opinion" is fine for things that are subjective. But if you have an opinion that disagrees with something that has been objectively proven without legitimate evidence to the contrary, that's not just an opinion anymore. It's called being wrong. Moon landing deniers are in fact wrong, that can be objectively shown. They don't just have an opinion, they're willfully choosing ignorance over reality.

I simply expressed my own opinion. Maybe you didn't like my colorful but medically accurate words, well, that's fine, that's your opinion.

Now, my argument that his opinion is based in ignorance is supported by the fact that he's stating his opinion for all of us to see by literally using technology that wouldn't likely exist in its current form without the funding that went into the space program, at least in part. Forget about the fact that the radial tires on his car were improved because of that funding, or that he eats food cultivated by farm equipment that uses enhanced GPS, maybe has an anti-scratch coating on his glasses, or uses a camera with a CMOS image sensor or drives a car that was designed using software developed or improved by NASA. Hell he may have (or may yet develop) a medical condition that was (or will be) detected by improved imaging software, who knows. Clearly he doesn't, which is why I said his opinion was based in ignorance. Because more than likely he uses things every day that exist the way that they do because of that funding.

And quite frankly I'm sick of folks with opinions that are based largely on their own ignorance of reality. Again, yeah, you can have an opinion. But at least have the good sense to have an INFORMED opinion. Or, and here's a concept, don't form an opinion on a subject you're not well informed on.

Yeah....BUT did they actually take pictures in the portrait mode like you posted?

OR were the pictures taken and sent in widescreen like this...

People that live on their phones seem to think that vertical pictures are the only way.
They aren't. You're shortchanging yourself by doing it wrong.
