  1. There are real photos of earth. As for Webb, it is an infrared telescope designed to look at very cold, old and distant objects. The sensors aren’t designed to face such a heat signature as is earth. It could ruin the telescope

  2. If you want to survey the dark side of the moon, you can just send some lunar probe… No need to place a telescope 1.4 million kilometers away…

  3. Do you have proof or do you read this on Telegram?

  4. Have you seen the cloud cover?

  5.  @YOILIKEWEED  They have shown video footage but cameras don’t go well with clouds

  6.  @YOILIKEWEED  There are lots of engineering cams that show the liftoff from multiple angles; you may want to use ESA‘s webside. But since clouds made any direct flight observations impossible, you are out of luck

  7. Have you seen the cloud cover?

  8.  @israelgalvez6365  If you have seen the cloud cover, why do you ask why they used an animation? Cameras don’t work well looking through clouds…

  9.  @israelgalvez6365  I really don’t understand your point.

  10.  @israelgalvez6365  But the telescope was delivered. We know it is on the way to L2, anyone with a radio can observe it.

  11. Damn; you must have flunked science class… 1. Flir or Infrared in general will have trouble to view through the dense rain forest cloud cover… 2. Yeah sure, put another object close to the rocket when it launches…

  12.  @rainyday6790  You apparently failed to read part 2 of my answer… If you think it‘s smart putting objects near a flight path of a rocket, well…. By the way, why should it be done? It is just extra costs that must be paid and for what? So that you can see something for 2 more minutes?

  13.  @rainyday6790  1. Why would you employ such technology which is costly so that you can watch it? Because an animation is cheaper (it is the same one that Arianespace uses perpetually) than getting a jet, filling it with fuel, cameras and crew for one launch. So if you were to watch the entire launch on camera, you would believe NASA? Why do you think they are fraudsters

  14.  @rainyday6790  Just because one can doesn’t mean one should… adding a camera is just dead weight a few minutes after launch, telemetry is needed for more important tasks…

  15. Actually it is an acronym; National Aeronautics and Space Division…

  16.  @samyoyoyo555  Just because it is on Youtube doesn’t mean it‘s true…

  17.  @samyoyoyo555  Do you mean her diary maybe? Where in the world is the rape part? Or molesting? Btw; stealing someones diary, now that is a crime

  18. Yeah, so what? Space tech can be incredibly old, most spacecraft don’t use the most sophisticated parts but those that work reliably

  19. SpaceX builts the rocket, not the payload

  20.  @yenko5196  I know this is a European rocket. This is a response to the OP; SpaceX does not produce satellite payload like JWST.

  21. Weirdly it was Obama which funded the telescope…

  22. No… First and foremost, the moon is too bright for the telescope - it could damage the CCDs and also, much too hot for infrared. Secondly, you won’t find footprints in infrared. Thirdly, we are talking about footprints, you know how tiny they are? Lastly, there have been lunar space probes that already photographed the landing sides, including an Indian probe

  23. Because gravity slows the telescope down. After separation the telescope will have your maximum speed, but the earths gravity will pull on it; slowing it down.
