  1. WTF would the have to Green Screen the inside of spaceship or space station???
    Why not film inside of an actual one in a hangar?? Or even a fucking cramped room made up to look like one??? Makes no goddam sense to go through the trouble of green screening… You fucking idiots lol

    • If you are not in space to begin with, its awful difficult to make water drops float around isn’t it?

      • Lol dudes playing with a tennis ball in the vid…wtf are you talking about??? Show me the video of THIS astronaut & floating water drops?
        Stop talking out your ass___it’s a bad look.

        • His name is Tim Peake, a Major in the British Military. He went to the ISS on a Russian rocket, and spent a lot of time up there. There are a lot of videos of him, and he did quite a bit for kids and classroom style experiments.

        • The ball is to assist Tim Peake to have something to focus his eyes on so that the final deception is that much more convincing. The ball is a bright green which is a color that is easily tracked by algorithms written-into video post-production applications like Final Cut Pro or Davinci Resolve. The application can much more easily remove the ball from the scene if the color of item to be removed is bright and contrasts strongly from its’ background.

          • Where’s the video of the “water drops”?
            Without that your first point is negated thereby making your second point mute.

          • “A chroma key subject must avoid wearing clothes which are similar in color to the chroma key color(s) (unless intentional e.g. wearing a green top to make it appear that the subject has no body), because the clothing may be replaced with the background video.”

            I suspect his shirt will cause a serious problem with the chroma key process.

    • Insults are the best way to make someone feel stupid when the truth is blatant. Your the goof in all of this

  3. Logicaly… Why would they be doing a video (with blue-screen) on the MAIN CONTROL ROOM TV ??? so do they also show Nasa Adverts and un-cut interviews on the SAME HUGE TV in the main control room ?
    seriously… this type of background chroma-key work is done on computers.. (and then the FINAL PRODUCT is then displayed on large screens for people to view.
    as much as I dont trust things from NASA, this video looks like it has been ‘Doctored’ by someone trying to make a story.
    to me, this looks like the video has been superimposed on top of the original footage. (ie: replacing the real image on the TV with this new blue screen video).

    Time Peak could have been doing a video for anything.. (educational, instructional, etc)..
    but of course, this video could also be really proof that NASA fakes stuff… (moon landing etc,, Lol).
    they are corrupt to the core… but also quite educational and good too.
    NASA is like a good and bad thing rolled into one 😉
    This video could be real, fake or a mix of both.

  5. Um… Bush Sr. was president until ’93 and the ISS wasn’t launched until ’98, so no experiments would have been done on the ISS when Bush Sr. would have been visiting as the article suggests.
    Besides that, they would have been using a green screen since the astronaut is wearing a blue shirt. When doing chromakey, it is critical to not use the color in any shade on anything that will have an edge touching the surface. That’s why movies use a green screen.
    Interestingly enough, the article mentions a very likely explanation for the grid sheet to be up. In fact, notice how the sheet is wrinkled up a bit as you would expect a not perfectly taunt sheet to do in space.
    The reason other shows have more convincing CGI is because they are artist renditions and not real life.

        • Wake up retard. He’s not in “space”. I understand that you’re smart enough to realize how BIG of a LIE this implicates.. but easier to face the truth now than to delay until the last moment.

    • You obviously know jack shit. Another know-it-all twat. Typical. Watch the video I’ve posted above in response to John Galtius, and then tell me again how Orad’s Virtual Set Technologies work… Asshole.

    • Its meant to make you think twice about the truth. If you ridicule someone, they feel stupid and question themselves. Pretty obvious what the truth is

  7. First, the screen is the wrong color. FX guys abandoned bluescreen about 30 years ago. Look at any bluescreen imae and you will see a line around the person, and the blue distorted the lighting too badly. Also, there is no reason at all for there to be a grid on the fabric. It’s not needed, and looks stupid. They don’t us grids on blue OR green screens. If they need to map something, then they do it to the person using registration marks. I searched the internet for the image, and the only mentions are with THIS website. Which, sadly, is also the website that brought you the cube from space that looks surprisingly like a missing block of the image.

    So no, calling bull puckey on this one.

      • This video you posted brings up a wonderful point and help argue against you.
        Notice what it says…. the gridlines are like a barcode. It isn’t an evenly-spaced grid like the one the astronauts use to perform science in space concerning the movement of objects. Don’t forget the blue shirt with chroma key. Even your video shows that… notice nobody in front of the blue screens are wearing anything blue.

        I suppose it would be pointless to also bring up the visibility of the ISS across the night sky and that you can actually talk to them via HAM radio during times that it is passing overhead, but only with an antenna directed up? Maybe it’s aliens that we can talk to.

        Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me if you believe me. Your own evidence is against you.
        I will not be posting in these comments again. I’m not saying you people have won, but simply that neither of us will ever agree.

  9. Idiots if the were using blue as the chromo background his torso would have disappeared like a weather person that wears green

  10. That screen (blue with white hatches) would be unable to be chromakeyed against. Also, it’s a vector map used for tracking movement visually, as seen in film footage as far back as Edison’s early motion film tests.

  12. The most telling thing is the bemused look Tim permanently has on his face. It’s as if he can barely contagion his laughter at the bad script and props that fall apart.

  14. Of course its fake. They did a movie about something like this called Wag the Dog. Except it was about international politics instead of space flight.

  15. NASA are the biggest liars going, no human has went into space its all faked. What are NASA really doing with the $18.4 billion they get every year. Tim Peake and all the other actors are nothing but lying frauds. The sooner they scumbags are exposed the better.

  16. NASA has dozens and dozens of videos that prove to be fake and using wires and green screen to do anti-gravity flips aboard the ISS. Someone explain why of all of the thousands and thousands of elementary schools in the U.S. does NASA choose SANDY HOOK Elementary school to give a fake question and answer session with? This is unbelievable how NASA is faking their presentations. If they are, indeed on the International Space Station as they claim why do they need to fake their demonstrations of zero gravity for elementary school children and how did they choose “SANDY HOOK” the one elementary school where it is claimed that dozens of children got murdered by an insane gun man. Fake Space news and Fake Gun violence to have our second amendment rights taken away. The dots get drawn together more and more.

  17. Unimaginable budget for “outer space” projects, and we get an astronot playing in a supposed ball in “space”. We get not one image of a “space ship rocket” piercing the boundary of “outer space” We get not one, real, non- CGI image of anything. We get cartoons of satellites. We get fully blackened “outer space” backgrounds, no stars (claims that, the sun is “too bright” even at NIGHT. We get no explanation that even though “space” is a total vacuum, the plastic magic space suits fully protect astronots. It’s all a deception. Use your damned brain.
