Interesting, the lack of atmosphere is a little strange is it not? And the rate at which the earth is turning and clouds are moving etc...? All a little odd i guess...

I wouldn't say the whole thing was fake, space ship etc. etc, just their portrayal of the space walk. Combined with the posting of the news article covering the successful launch and all that occurred, including transcript of conversations it is highly bizarre. There is no doubt in my mind that China has the technological and human resources with which to pull off a spacewalk either, which makes it even stranger. Heck, NASA even tracked the space ship.

I wouldn't be particularly surprised to find out they even actually did a spacewalk and achieved all their goals. It's just the televised footage doesn't add up.

I wasn't implying you'd thought that - but whoever created the video clearly does.

It certainly seems fake to me. Maybe it's just bad luck that the footage makes it look fake, but, I dunno. China is a very proud nation. If they screwed up and couldn't get the space walk to happen, I could probably seem them faking it rather than admitting their space programme got something wrong and making China look like amateurs on the international stage. They know knowledge is power more than anyone in the modern world. Look at their censorship programme. They know that if other nations *think* they accomplished a spacewalk, it's as good as actually doing it, couple that with the actual evidence: the clouds, the audio, it doesn't look and sound right to me. This is coming from an avid anti-consipracy theorist as well. Someone who doesn't believe NASA's moon landing was fake, and someone who doesn't believe 9/11 was an inside job or MI5 assassinated Princess Diana.

I've studied the video thoroughly and I have to say that from looking at the pixels, it looks real to me. I should know, I've seen a few videos in my time.

I just glanced at the GD front page and managed to read this as "Burbles in space" which was quickly followed by the thought "isn't he in germany"
