1972
Is a day side shot, the earth is shining so much that you can't see stars in the sky nearby.
the camera captured every detail of earth with ease and there was no need to amplify the picture making it very crisp
2026
This is actually the night side of the earth, the sun is behind, the picture had to be amplified which introduced additional artifacts and blurr to the image.

Tablet camera slop versus glorious analog film
casino_r0yale@reddit
One is in light the other is in shadow. Take the bottom picture with film I dare you

Eddie bravo is right, space is fake

A bjj reference in this sub?
oni_no_onii-chan@reddit
this artemis 2 talks gives too much npc aura. I can't bring myself to carry about it.
oh also it's pointless to dream about space exploration without someone find a solution to material fatique.

Le Spare Parts have not arrived.

Material fatigue? Elaborate
arbiter12@reddit
Dunno if he's talking about the same thing but, without ways to "repair as you travel", you can't really travel far.
Imagine that the factory making your car is the only one in the world, and only the factory city has the parts to fix your car. How far would you go, before turning back from fear of not being able to get back at all.

Well sure, that. But also air, water. Earth is the only easy source. Sure, you can synthesise it, but you're back to the inital problem of that processor breaking.
Radiation is also a big problem. AI is going to be the only space explorer.

unless some ayy lmaos give us jump drive tech or 2000 iq egghead(s) figure out the secrets to FTL travel. but the former probably have their own shit to deal with to go around doing that for funsies and the latter are probably bogged down by red tape and office politics.

Ayys will do it in trade for human bussy though. We have the only source of it in the whole universe, an incredible monopoly. And we know they love probing it.
ovolint@reddit
You think God won't help his humans? You just need to pray in order to receive strength to survive without food, water and air like when fasting.
Shame people believe in fake news like "science" and AI generated space images. We would be so advanced if we didn't believe in lies.

If that's the case the long term plan for Artemis Program is to establish a Gateway base on Moon orbit and eventually a base on the Moon itself. If I'm not mistaken, NASA said that these bases will be used for further missions to Mars, so material fatigue will be solved, eventually.

many things in life are pointless. but it's a very human thing to do it anyway because why not?
Demonweed@reddit
Certainly the hardships and risks of a return to the Moon are no small thing. Yet who among us would not be tempted for the chance to plant a flag in such a massive piece of cheese?
adamkosions1111@reddit
So not a single star in the background?
Valuable-Chipmunk784@reddit
It's because modern Earths are more aerodynamic.
DemonDookie@reddit
The earthglow is too bright to see the stars.
Valuable-Chipmunk784@reddit
Do they really expect us to believe the clouds changed that much in only 54 years?
arbiter12@reddit
jokes aside, and maybe because of personal bias, the 2026 looks like a "less healthy" orb.
More dry. (granted it's South America vs Oceania)
NoPossibility4178@reddit
Checks out.

In the 2026 picture, the continent on the bottom left is Africa, the same continent pictured in the 1972 photo. The 2026 photo is "upside down," so to speak, with Antarctica (the south pole) on the top of the photo while Antarctica is on the bottom of the top photo. The 1972 photo is also Earth illuminated by the sun in daylight. The 2026 photo shows the Earth eclipsing the Sun (the Sun is behind the earth in this photo), meaning what we are seeing is the nighttime earth illuminated by a full moon and digitally brightened to show us recognizable detail. That explains much of the difference between the 2 photos.
South America is pictured in the 2026 photo covered by clouds on the bottom right and is virtually indistinguishable in the photo. Oceania isn't pictured in either photo.

Looks flat to me in both
