Wtf is going on in that gif?

Do you remember the Quiznos commercials from like 2004 that had those things in it?

That gif is from the internet video that spawned them.

Wait until you hear about it’s dark side. Only half the moon is visible to you earthlings. There’s a whole other side only visible to the rest of the cosmos.

When I was a kid I was terrified that the moon was gonna get knocked out of orbit or something and crash into the Earth. It was hard to understand how the moon's orbit could be so stable. I remember thinking that astronauts should stop fricking with it. (which they did)

Glad to know that you might not be Autistic. I say that because my youngest was getting tested for anger issues (apples and trees) and was asked if the moon was in the sky. His answer was NO. When questioned further he replied that the moon is in Space. This is the correct answer but not what the questioner expected and she (having over 25 years experience) had to go ask someone else about his answer. Of course my wife came home, asked me the same question and I agreed with our youngest. Maybe I'm Autistic too.

Either way, yes you can see the moon through the sky but its not in the sky because its in space. Please use this as a learning moment.

I have questions about the moon. It’s was rotating clockwise every night. Like the crescent went to a smiley face. Sometimes I’m able to zoom in close and sometimes not as close. I think I’ve captured our moon and then a hologram of our moon. Or maybe 2 different holograms. As far as objects/ufo’s around the moon. I’ve captured many. And all directions, one zooming past the moon but behind it. One falling past it and another was going up towards it and then curved to go around it. That one was moving fast and made me question a lot. The size of the objects were huge. . https://youtu.be/evyG-g9XXm4

To demonstrate the daunting task it is to send man to the moon, consider that the international space station is 220 miles above the surface of the earth. While the moon is 238,900 miles from earth.

I know you mean get them back too. It is one heck of a trip. Lovell’s navigation skills during the Apollo 13 crisis amazes me.

238k one way, at a cruising speed of a paltry 5,000 mph. But 24,000 mph to completely escape the earth's gravitational force. And top speed just before reentry into the earth's atmosphere....around 34,000 mph. It boggles the mind.

Solar eclipses happen when the shadow of the Moon covers the surface of the Sun.

The surface of the SUN covered in shadow? WTF? If the author does not understand how wrong this statement is, how can belief in the rest of this tripe be expected?

It's really just a big glowing balloon that is released each night and pulled back down by a thin tether each morning. Don't tell anyone.

The most fascinating thing about it to me is that we always see the same side of it. It is spinning and rotating around earth in perfect synchronization so that only one side is always facing earth.


People get upset when they say God throws them a curveball, but what about when He throws a knuckleball?
