Suppose you show what might be fake about taking a camera on a tripod in DeLand, Florida, 50 miles away from the launch and following the rocket all the way into space. There are hundreds of similar videos taken from all over Florida by hundreds of other photographers who are completely independent and not subject to any weirdly imagined "conspiracy" to fake space launches. I watch these every week. You can't expect to be believed if the first tool out of your bag of tricks is deception. Mine is evidence. I win.

@@RockinRobbins13 following the rocket into "space?" LOL, that's when the cgi kicks in! You've never done that. You are a liar.

Thank you. Hopefully in the last quarter of this year we'll see a better comet. We're overdue!

I just double-checked. The audio is low (I've learned handle it much better since then) but the words are very clear and understandable. Check out your sound system. I had the treble speakers disconnected from my subwoofer once and what I was hearing was exactly what you describe: muffled and very indistinct. I plugged the other five speakers in and suddenly I could understand the words. Hope that helps.

Thank you. I apologize for the poor video quality of the time, but i thought it would be fun to demonstrate an attack technique that was never successfully done during the actual war. Interestingly, pre-war, this sonar only firing technique was considered the one that would be most effective.

How are you doing Fishbonez? We're about 90% fixed, all units finished and about 85% reoccupied now. Three weeks ago we had our first bank deposit that felt normal again. Talk about Flirtin' with Disaster! When things like this happen, you realize that when the chips are down, you're rescued by your friends and customers. That was the case here and the good relationships we've built with people over the years have been worth more than all the money we didn't have. This business was saved by its great customers!

@@RockinRobbins13 Thats awesome!! Me, I have since moved from Ole Wyo to Ari"Too Hot"zona. Now you need to go fly some planes or quad :-)

Thanks for coming by Chrystalina! This is rare even for me. Launches that are eastward instead of northward as visible for much shorter lengths of time. This was a really special launch.

Thank you Chrystalina. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride. We're in that position where you're waiting for the insurance company adjuster to check it out and you can't touch anything. But we have decent insurance and plan to be up and running again in several months.

How do you want to change the units. For targeting purposes the 2000 yards to the nautical mile crutch is good enough not to miss any targets. So .6 times 2000 is 1200 yards. You, and the original real submariners, can do that in your head.

@@RockinRobbins13 Hi and many thanks for your reply. I just wondered why your video at 1:55 showed 1200, which you directly equated to 12 knots, whereas my SH4 was giving my nautical mile units, i.e. 0.6nm when I performed the same action. I do not have any mods added to SH4. Many thanks for the calculation tip, that makes it easy to convert nm to kn.

@@keithlillis7962 i was thinking the exact same thing...doesn't his compass give him the speed??

It depends on the height of the periscope head above water. If it's high you can see for 10 miles or more.

Thank you Crystalina! I really appreciate the opportunity to show astronomy without intro screens, snazzy music or production values. I also do as little editing as possible, don't use scripts.....I'm a mess!

Thanks Sitrep. Senses report what they sense. You see with your brain and your brain is sometimes completely wrong. The error is one of interpretation.

@@RockinRobbins13 if you’re ever in the mood to check out something about flat earth that you’re actually MEANT to laugh at, this is my short film, ROUND: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n82WobR807Wde4U.html Hope you like it.

@@sitrepproductionsatlanta8538 Thanks! I'll check that out tonight.

@@sitrepproductionsatlanta8538 Loved it and left a comment. Great job, but a real astronaut could handle it a bit better than your version there! lol

@@RockinRobbins13 thanks.

Do you have any evidence that I claimed to have actual space footage? It exists and it verifies this model but I don't have it.

And of course you don't have a single contradiction to anything shown here. You IMMEDIATELY (spelling corrected) found something weird, but make no effort to describe what you saw that could be wrong. You surrendered your case by not making one. As far as the International Space Station, I have video of over a dozen passages, each at the precise brightness, at the exact time, across the exact course and timing predicted by Heavens-above.com and ShySafari Pro. I also can show you video of 27 different satellites in only 26 minutes of uncut video, where SkySafari predicted the path, the 600mm lens of the camera was pointed ahead of the track and you can see the satellite cross exactly where predicted. This is a really bad time to be a liar for the Flerftopian Fraud department. You Flerfs have nothing. We have proof that Google Earth shows what is really there, that ISS is absolutely real and that hundreds of satellites are orbiting the globe, with dozens of them visible every evening and morning. On the You Tube channel Astronomy Live Stream with David Brewer, we show them to you every clear night. The game is over. We won.

@@RockinRobbins13 Space science is bullshit no matter how many misspellings you correct, and/ or how many try-hard paragraphs you write to justify your garbage.

@@RockinRobbins13 Lol, (idk who "we" are) but you can never win little guy... You're not as significant in the debate, as you think you are. You're just recycling the same shitty explanations being used to debunk (which at this point would have done so, but haven't in slightest) the true thinkers.

@@erinstarr7793 _"Space science is bullshit no matter how many misspellings you correct, and/ or how many try-hard paragraphs you write to justify your garbage."_ People who have something true to say defend your positions. You don't even try because you know Google Earth shows reality and satellites really exist. Lying demands persuasion such that people might believe you. You haven't even tried to persuade. Your mother knows you're a liar because you haven't convinced her either.

@@erinstarr7793 _" You're just recycling the same ..."_ My own photography, and my friends' photography are not recycled. They've never been seen before and are absolutely true, unlike your baby taunts and badly attempted lies. I can defend what I say. You don't even try to defend your horse manure. You're completely helpless and embarrassing your future self. My next video will be one I personally took from my neighborhood, showing the International Space Station. In the comments section I will be linking to Astronomy Live Stream with David Brewer showing an uncut video with 27 satellites viewed in 26 minutes. It's a bad time to be a Flerftopian Fraud. The game is over. It's been over for more than 2,000 years. Get with the program, chump.

In WWII there are no torpedoes with onboard sonar, except for the slow and easily avoided Cutie. The Cutie was designed to snag a lurking DD who was using its listening gear at low speed. It only worked a couple of times.

@@RockinRobbins13 If you bothered reading the entire post, I made that clear. With WW2 era subs and earlier, 90 degree shots are to avoid glancing. Once torpedoes got onboard sonar, 90 degree shots also serve to maximize sonar returns.

Yes, in Silent Hunter 4 your visibility with scope up is profoundly affected by your speed. The damage aspect isn't replicated, so far as I can tell. I have always erred on the side of accuracy instead of safety when shooting and won't shoot with the scope down. I shoot, then lower the scope to wait for the booms when shooting at warships. I try not to shoot at warships. The war ends when Japanese merchants are no more.

@@RockinRobbins13 I think some warships are good to shoot at. Carriers and Battleships are excellent targets, and they are warships. Perhaps you meant that you don't shoot at warships that have anti-sub capabilities?

If you think about it, for looking at interplanetary, galactic and intergalactic space, called planetary observing and deep sky observing by amateur astronomers, all that depends on a dark sky without the Moon present in the sky to have enough contrast to see those things. Now I haven't worked out the angular sizes, and you couldn't set up a telescope on a planet with no surface (as in the gas giants) but imagine being on Europa, with at least three bright moons of Jupiter in the sky at the same time. It would be a rare opportunity to do any deep sky observing. I wonder how Mars works out? The two moons are very close in and very small as well. I'll work out the math and report in!

Okay, I find my work is already done for me over at mathscinotes dot com on May 1, 2013. From Earth, both the Sun and moon are always in the neighborhood of half a degree in angular size. Bur from Mars, the Sun has an angular size of only .35 degrees. And both Phobos and Deimos are much smaller in apparent size than the Moon from Earth. Phobos has an angular size of .136 degrees as seen from Mars' surface, and Deimos is only .03 degrees in angular size. So Phobos looks only 39% of the diameter of the Sun and Deimos is only 8.5% of the diameter of the Sun. From Mars there are no total eclipses then. And obviously the light from those moons would be a tiny percentage of the light we get from the Moon. Looks like a great place to set up an observatory!

Thank you yoosta. Thanks makes the whole job worthwhile. Even makes me think about playing Silent Hunter 4 again. It's a great game.

@@RockinRobbins13 you got it brotha. I’m really enjoying Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate mod right now.

@@yoosta22 Awesome. I was leader of the mod team that developed that, with the best parts belonging to others on the team!

@@RockinRobbins13 wow! No way. You should do FotRS series for us on KZfaq………

The lies here are actionable libel. People are being sued for lying like you are about scientists, astronauts, rocket designers, chemists, college professors, even some of the most valuable people on Earth, Jews, Jesuits, Masons and making up non-existent people like the Illuminati. When you insult the most respected and relied upon members of society, you will be held accountable. There is no atmosphere at all for liars like you who make up memes insulting these great people. You will learn the hard way apparently.

@@RockinRobbins13 Guess you know it all, guess you think the moon buggy fit in that tiny capsule. Guess you did not see Kubrick admitted to the fraud. Guess you cant search the web for the still living Challenger crew. Guess you have not seen ISS with rut and bubbles. Guess you think nothing for yourself at all. Don't hit your head on the firmament twit. Get your boosters.

When refractive conditions are right the buildings can be visible any time of the day. Your point is?

It's Google Maps taking orbital photography and then matching it up to a polar grid. At the poles that becomes messy.

Actually, they appear to be WHITED out.

@@RockinRobbins13 that or smudged.

@@jeffmitchell654 No, it's impossible to bore any tunnels in Antarctica. There's no way to get the necessary equipment to the job.

No problem JC. When made this video I didn't have any sound mixing ability.

@@RockinRobbins13 Either way much appreciated! Just realized this video is 9 years old, wow! I'm an old Aces of the Deep and Silent Hunter II player and just getting back into SH3 and SH4. Currently using the Fall of the Rising Sun mod and really enjoying it.

What's in danger here is the eyepiece. That's where the light gets concentrated the most. From the eyepiece out the light spreads out, making less and less heat per square inch. Hence the Awful Erfle that is expendable! lol

You have to remember that everything in the solar system orbits the Sun, which contains more than 99.5% of the mass of the entire system. It's entirely impossible for the Sun to _really_ orbit the Earth. Actually both orbit the barycenter of the two bodies, which is deep inside the Sun. This is merely showing the real motions of the Solar System as seen from Earth. Where you are always seems not to be moving, even when you're going down the highway at 100 mph in your car. Your senses travel with the car and it appears that everything else is moving. Of course, you got in the car when its speed was zero and you remember than, so your brain can assign movement to what you see is not moving: the car you're in. People have no problems with driving a car but pretend to have problems with the universe looking like it's moving from a moving "car." In fact, astronomy began with the assumption that Earth didn't move. The things we found made it impossible to hang on to that notion without laughing.
