Mars and Nasa

Post by sting13 »

Well i watched this video
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo ... y_Exposed/

And it got me to thinking, if i took the photos right off nasa's site and lowered the red in it, what would it look like.... heres my results... Which seem more plausible than a bright red planet <_< Afterall mars is earth's twin planet, just smaller.

H4X! They faked the Mars landing just like the moon's!

/sarcasm








Or did I miss your point? :?

EDIT: I did miss your point. It's about faking Mars' color.

Stupid me.

It still doesn't make any sense. If after all these years we thought it's red and it's actually not, why hide it? That's a great discovery if it's true.

but interesting video nevertheless. :)

I don't believe it...

I think it's just a off the wall conspiracy theory. There is no reason for it to be covered up.

The following will explain why I don't think it's a conspiracy.

If it's fake then why is the sky still the same color as the ground?



Mars is just like earth except for high levels of iron in the air.

Astronomical pictures are taken in greyscale. It's not part of a conspiracy that's just they way it works.

Just look at different sites on astronomy and pictures. You will find the information out there. Conspiracies are secret this isn't hidden information.

Another example about pictures...

All i did was take out some of the red, the myth is that nasa uses red filters before they release the images, i just removed it.

Wouldnt that just remove red color anyway though? So thats what it would look like with no red...but doesnt mean there isnt any red.

If you read at least everything under the umbrella pics on the link I posted it explains how this works. The pictures are not meant to be in true color. They are taken on greyscale and a colored lens is used. It's not a conspiracy though and the pictures taken are not accurate in color even without a colored lens. Astronomical photography is not like normal photography. Even if you take out the red it's still not going to produce a true color image. You just cant turn a greyscale photo into a accurate colored photo. If you can I don't see how.
