This has already been posted.

Not one respected aerospace authority has suggested any such thing.

China is a rising space power.

America should take this very seriously.

Besides, anyone who has seen that old Gregory Peck/Gene Hackman movie Marooned knows that even the best film special effects available in 1969 couldn't convincingly fake space travel.

I agree the moon landings weren't faked, but as to your SFX comment, there was this little movie released in 1968 you may have heard of. It's called "2001: A Space Odyssey." Those FX were beyond impressive.

I looked at the footage. It looks real to me. A lot like other spacewalks. Let’s hope SpaceX gets off the ground soon with cheap tech and we can bust privatized space wide open! Let’s get the capitalists and conservatives in space! God bless the space capitalists and conservatives!

Oh, there is gonna be loads of conservatives across the heavens. Bible says so. Says that when Jesus comes back, he is gonna gather his people from the heavens, and the deepest oceans...

I dunno about the Chinese spacewalk, but last week’s successul Falcon I launch by SpaceDev was certainly real. I can’t wait to see the Falcon 9 in action!

I searched under the title given, but found nothing. If this is a duplicate post, I apologize, and ask you to please ask the Admin Mod to lock this one up.

Yes, 2001 did have impressive FX, but still not convincing enough to look "real", at least not to my eye.

look real to me

regarding the video quality thing. I’ve seen several US space walks via nasa tv online. Its not a good comparison as the quality there is usually pretty poor

Correction: Falcon I is a product of SpaceX, not SpaceDev. My apologies for the screwup.

Incidentally, James Benson of SpaceDev died today — a great loss to the private space community.

I watched the video several times and stopped at each section mentioned in the article. They are right! The bubbles are there and the light arrays in the mirrors are a total giveaway! What a joke!

Is that the movie where NASA flew clear to the Moon to film a fake studio landing?

"where’s the video?! I would love to see it. LOL"

Copy URL in [1] above. Stick it in "Translate a web page" at Google translate. Enter Chinese to English; click on translate. Scroll down to UTube video. Kinda interesting.

In particular, watch the flag waving in a vacuum.
