Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are pictures of two different subjects. And I have seen no evidence that either are fake.
The Hubble: Light Echoes From Red Supergiant Star V838 Monocerotis – October 2004
The Italian: GALASSIA UGC 2526 (SPIRALE)
Again I ask: whaddafuck?

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Oh what nonsense! The kettle is fake, an obvious fabrication designed to fool people into believing in the existance of tea.
You're going to have to do better than that. The other pic at least has a guy with a nice-looking jacket, proving beyond a doubt the existance of jackets. And Daleks.

Wait... I'm confused...
Is hex-b saying that Italian stainless steel kettles can re-enter the atmosphere but chinese space capsules can't? It must be said that the kettle inspires a lot of confidense with that polish, the capsule has some questionable stains...
By the way, do you guys think that that baloon thing in the Jupiter impact image is an allusion to Arthur C. Clarke's 2010 - Odyssey Two? (I think it was 2010, might have been 3001) |

VERTEBRATE LIFE DISCOVERED ON MARS!
For the Asso. Press
by -- Lorenzo Jones, 13 November, 2005
According to B.J. Doorknob PhD, of NASA, this creature was filmed by one of the Mars Rovers last week.
"We were looking for life in the wrong places," stated Dr. Doorknob. "We thought that we'd find nothing more than microbes, if that. But now we know that there is a thrving ecosystem, as this animal clearly demonstrates."
Dr. Doorknob went on to say that the "wandering pineapples", as they are called, had not seen eariler due to their being very shy and have the remarkable ability to become invisible. "But we can detect them now; they fart continously, and that's where all of the methane comes from. This one 'decloaked', as it were, because it needed to clean it's scales and had to see them to do it. Mystery solved!"
He further speculated that the "pineapples" were insectivores and fed mainly upon invisible creatures similar to earthly ants and termites. "Indeed, there must be life all over the place, we just can't see it.... Amazing! Right before our eyes the whole time and we never saw it at all."

(for L. Jones)
More proof of Martian LIFE:
Dr. Doorknob's crack astronaut team just returned FROM a Mars expedition with three hundred pounds of fossilized remains of the above reported "walking pineapple". The brilliant Dr. Doorknob reports, "It's PLAINLY obvious that the creatures resemble Earth's own beach shells, and that they prefered to sleep and die on top of rocks".

| Some people can't seem to get over the fact that pictures can be altered, and photorealistic images can be artificially created. They are as shocked as an old 19th century lady after seeing her first locomotive, and now they think that all photos must be fake. Especially photos about something that they cannot possibly digest, like those backwards Chinese folks going into the Earth's orbit. How sad. |

Hey, gullible guy, we live in TV time.
If the Chinese had gone to space really, they would have filmed the most exciting moments of their enterprise.
Re-entry is the most exciting moment.
If you had gone to the moon really, we would have seen in TV your departure from the moon, your Lunar Module going off the ground.
HEROS WERE COMING BACK.
We didn't see anything, only faked images like those of the Chinese.
Where are parachutes in this image?
You are only a gullible guy. |

Silly man, what makes you think they used parachutes??? It's obvious they had a HUGE trampoline, just off camera, to gently bounce the capsule to the ground.
