Prove it. It is YOUR assertion, so PROVE it. I see no way it could be done...
An aviation expert on NPR said as much this morning.
Oh, well, gee... if it was an aviation 'expert' on NPR, then by gooly it proves you right... I mean, it was on the Radio so it MUST be true, right????
And stop with the petty insults please, they are so jackass like.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
I think I will defer to the experts.
The question hasn't been put to NASA yet as far as I have heard.
Until it is I see no reason to doubt these people, who are the ones who said it was possible:
John Logsdon, director, Space Policy Institute at George Washington University
Donna Shirley, instructor of aeronautics engineering at the University of Oklahoma and former Mars exploration manager at NASA
Alex Roland, chair of the History Department at Duke University and former NASA historian
I have some experience from a former job with this. It is extremely difficult to point a precision instrument moving in one direction at kilometers per sec at another another object moving in a different direction at kilometers per sec. Its possible, but difficult.
And the whole reading a license plate from space thing, well, without saying what we can and cant see, even on a good day in perfect conditions, that would be a challenge. Many people have seen too many movies that tend to assume capabilities beyond those actually in place.
Actually a better bet might have been a look at night from a large ground based telescope. With the right lighting conditions you might see something, but again it would be a challenge to draw conclusions from that. Unless it was a really big hole you were looking at.
