But rasslin’ is real!

>>One individual, who calls himself Crrow ...used images from his own telescope in his back garden to take images of Jupiter, which is 400 million miles from Earth, and compared them to New Horizons images it took of the much smaller Pluto from nine million miles way, early in its mission.

He said that as his images of Jupiter are clearer than those of Pluto, it proves the Pluto images are fabricated.<<

Al you need is some chicken wire, a few bricks and a backyard BBQ — voila! Conspiracy theory!

"You are just looking at pixels."

Well, duh.

Until NASA figures out a way to transport Pluto into a low Earth orbit, pixels will have to do.

I often wonder what motivates these people.

I’ll bet they know almost nothing about any of the sciences and as a result things like this really are incredible.

I can barely believe it myself. 3 billion miles and, except for those couple of blackout days, nothing went wrong.

He said: 'I was surprised to see how quickly people started saying the mission to Pluto, and the pictures being sent back to Earth are all fake. I think these ideas are just plain Goofy.

I see what you did there.

[Yardstick]

I think these ideas are just plain Goofy.

Speaking of, do we even understand what sort of a being Goofy is? Maybe it’s time for a mission to Goofy.

[Gefn]

The whole thing is Goofy, is right.

I’m glad to see Pluto. Would this be a Goofy Pluto Napl? Time to call in Giorgio?

[tbw2]

I remember XKCD’s comic response to accusations that the Moon mission was fake - because if it was, they’d have justified their budget by faking it a few more times, plus Mars.

By the way, they're real, and they're spectacular..

The camera on New Horizons is a fixed focus digital camera designed specifically for the fly by sequences, not some backyard telescope with a focus capability.

Someone send the idiot wagon over to pick this guy up. That said, he’ll probably have his own show on Discovery by this fall.

[Kirkwood]

NASA would be faking alien-built machinery and structures if they were trying to pump up the need for exploration. Spending years of effort to get a couple days of distraction out of some photos of a rocky planet is hardly worth the effort to fake it.

[cripplecreek]

He said that as his images of Jupiter are clearer than those of Pluto

The photographic instruments on NH don't have focusing ability. The set focal length removes the complication and potential problems. The photos we've seen so far are from well outside the ideal range of a bit under 8000 miles.

The closest we've seen so far were taken from around 40,000 miles and blown up.

Fo Shizzle!

LOL! Flat Earthers. Probably the same jugheads who are out there pimpin’ Algore’s “global warming”.

[FreeAtlanta]

What would be the point? Some people are just nuts.

Buzz Aldrin knows how to deal with these kooks.

Morons to the right of us, morons to the left of us ...

Insanity abounds.....

[Talisker]

The New Horizons Pluto Mission is real.

It’s NASA that’s fake.
