That’s not a reflection. That’s what happens when you use 1970’s era “ChromaKey” technology that drops everything blue. Within a decade or two, they started to use the color green, on more sophisticated Chromakey video sets. Not sure if they need to do that now to “matte out” a background. Big Head NASA faker’s face is seen going “through” the white plastic “Shuttle” models because they had blue stickers on the side.

Absolute nonsense. You can clearly see his reflection in other areas besides the blue especially in the link I pasted where the video is much clearer.

Also if it WERE blue screen, as you're suggesting, then any blue area on the "model" would show up as transparent...NOT the guys face. Thus the blue area on the side would be transparent, the blue backgrounded starfield on the American flag would be transparent.

Heck, the nasa logo is BLUE. That must have made it extremely difficult to make your mythical models NOT have areas that would always be transparent.

Also just a little while later in the video, at 4:27, there's a another space shot...this time with the earth in the background. And the color of the earth? Mostly BLUE. This entire area would be transparent, not mostly blue.

It was a NASA lighting test in a TV studio and the Big Head guy got caught as he was adjusting lighting levels for the shot.

Your example is a modern use of blue screen tech, not 1970s Chroma Key and cameras...!

You’ve obviously never used Chroma Key. You have to light it perfectly for the best effect, which is why TV studios have fixed lighting and fixed levels set for the Weather segments and other news.

LOL... sorry if you don’t know the difference in color temperatures for different shades of blue, and that’s what the Chromakey picks up or drops out. The blue in the American flag registers a different color temperature.

We are seeing a lighting test, which is why, a few seconds later, we see the “lighted fake globe” of the earth go from dark to light... or are you claiming that’s the real thing, too?

This is a lighting test... the Big Head guy got caught on camera as he was adjusting the Chroma Key on another camera... while the white plastic model of the “Shuttle” was stationary in another part of the studio.

By the way, where are the stars? LOL LOL LOL!
