Then why do actual vfx artists say that these videos would be impossible to fake

what does "space isn't real" even mean and why should this be fake. So let's completly ignore the term "space". And let's ignore this video. So instead yu read about this, and nowhere in the text they use the term "space". Instead you just read, that Virgin galactic offers a special attraction: You are in a small airplane with a rocket engine, brought up under the wing of a big airplane. Then the small airplane is released, flights straight up, stops the engine, reaches 89 km, then falls down and lands. Your arguments "SFX" and "space isn't real" don't work in that case? What problem would you have when you read that, what makes you saying "Fake" when you just read that?

That incident happened in the atmosphere, they were already in space

It can’t have as much payload capacity

@@cardboard9124 not with V.Galactic's equipment obviously...i said "this method"...not this shuttle

@@boriskaragiannis Still doesn't have enough payload capacity. You would need a gigantic plane to get just a rocket into orbit. Better to just build a bigger rocket

@@cardboard9124 sadly for you they did try try it this way i learned after but not sure why they stopped...they obviously use a bigger shuttle/plane thing whatever

@@cardboard9124 NASA has explored and utilized air-launch techniques, both historically and in more recent projects. Here are some notable examples: Historical Example: NASA and the Pegasus Rocket Pegasus Rocket: Developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation (now part of Northrop Grumman), the Pegasus rocket is one of the most prominent examples of an air-launched rocket system. It first flew in 1990 and has been used for numerous missions, launching small satellites into orbit. Carrier Aircraft: The Pegasus rocket is carried aloft by a modified Lockheed L-1011 aircraft named "Stargazer" before being released at high altitude. NASA Missions: Pegasus has been used to launch several NASA payloads, including small scientific and technology demonstration satellites. Recent Developments: NASA Collaborations and Studies ALASA (Airborne Launch Assist Space Access): Overview: ALASA was a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) program in collaboration with Boeing, aimed at developing a low-cost air-launch system to place small satellites into orbit. NASA's Role: While primarily a DARPA initiative, NASA provided expertise and support for some aspects of the program. Outcome: The program faced technical challenges and was ultimately discontinued, but it provided valuable insights into air-launch capabilities. NASA and Virgin Orbit Collaboration: LauncherOne: Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne, an air-launched rocket carried by a modified Boeing 747 named "Cosmic Girl," has successfully conducted missions, including launching small NASA payloads. ELaNa Program: NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) selected LauncherOne for several Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) missions, demonstrating NASA's ongoing interest in air-launch systems. NASA's Assessment of Air-Launch Systems NASA has periodically assessed the viability and advantages of air-launch systems through studies and collaborations. While recognizing the potential benefits of air-launch techniques, such as flexibility and reduced infrastructure costs, NASA continues to rely primarily on traditional vertical launches for most of its missions. This is due to several factors: Payload Capacity: Traditional vertical rockets can carry much larger payloads, which is essential for many of NASA's scientific, exploratory, and commercial missions. Established Infrastructure: NASA has a well-developed infrastructure for vertical launches, including launch pads, tracking systems, and support facilities, which supports a wide range of mission profiles. Reliability and Versatility: Traditional rockets have a long track record of successful missions and can reach various orbits and destinations, including deep space. Conclusion While NASA has explored and utilized air-launch techniques, particularly for smaller payloads and specific missions, the agency primarily relies on traditional vertical launch systems. Air-launch methods offer unique advantages and continue to be of interest, especially for smaller satellites and responsive launch capabilities. However, the payload capacity, reliability, and versatility of traditional vertical rockets remain critical for NASA's diverse mission requirements.

yeah that was weird.
