HE also talks about how you just need a few days to change the lenses on Sofia to make it do whatever you request is and according to orbital decay, Hubble should not be able to change elevations as much as it supposedly does and should already be back on Earth and that it should be (as with any of the supposed satellites which are up there should be) easily photographed from ISS and they are not. Lack of actual proof is reason enough to doubt fantastical claims. Also its interesting to say the least that all Hubble produces is fantastical artist interpretation of data from 13 billion light years away, not actual photographs of even the moon or our planet's , its so fake it awful really. The best shot we have of the moon is blurry shit from 1969, oh God help us.
You could change the mirrors and then Sofia could have the same initial conditions as Hubble sure. But still the atmosphere would limit the quality drastically, which is why they shot it up there.
So why don't you write a proposal for Sofia to take similar pictures with the same setup of Hubble and then compare it to the alleged Hubble pictures?
I dont exactly know what the guy in this video calculated so as you already said: "Hubble should not be able to change elevations as much as it
supposedlydoes..." That is something HE claims and no proof...
I guess they also did the math before they were going to shoot the thing up in the sky. And I think they know what the drag is that leads to the orbital decay. Actually it should fall back on earth somewhere in the 2030's iirc.
I'm also wondering. You don't trust the pictures taken of Hubble during the service missions (at least thats how it looks to me). But on the other side you would trust then pictures taken of Hubble from ISS? You see where we are going...
On the other hand you should be able to see it from earth as well. You might have to visit a place somewhere in Australia to have a better view though (due to the orbit of Hubble).
Concerning your "fantastical artists interpretation of data", do you actually read applied physics papers? You would find a lot of this fantasy and still all these fancy devices we are using nowadays are working due to that fantasy. Just coincidence?
Concerning the pictures of planets nearby, probably most of the stuff from Hubble is recorded with a wide field camera i guess. Now you can go and figure out the specs of the cam and do the math. Than you will see why you get very nice pics from stuff that is so far away and shitty ones of objects "nearby".
