NASA according to Flerfs: so good at CGI that they match up the clouds in their ISS photos but also sometimes they forget to add in stars and don’t edit out “bubbles”

I loved the "as flat images they wouldn't stitch together exactly. I wonder why that could be" comment. It's just one of many many many reasons the Earth simply couldn't be flat, but something they can never actually acknowledge.

Sir, please don't use sarcasm on flat-earthers, they barely understand basic geometry.

very smart of those CGI artists to do all this insane work on stuff that 1 in a million people will even look at

lol LEO can't debunk a 50 minute ISS tour video even though he's been ASKED to. And yet here we have Dave proving the ISS is real by looking at the reflection of an astronaut in a 1000+ image time-lapse, because he WANTS to. Keep up the good work Dave 👍

Having done 3D modelling and animation myself, I can appreciate the task it would take to, first of all plan all this beforehand, model it with the correct textures and mapping of the weather data. The rendering would be the least of the time needed.

I can't wait for LEO to cherry pick a single frame out of this video where the clouds don't match pixel perfectly and then claim the entire thing is false and CGI because of it.

Flerfs are convinced CGI is magic and can be done nearly instantly

Physicists, Astronomers, Historians, Geographers and more: *unable to convince flat earthers despite best efforts* Photographer (rolling up his sleeves): "Step aside, lads."

The "Flat images don't line up for some reason" comment will go further over a flerfs head than the ISS.

Even if there would not be a single flat earther left on our beautiful shaped globe, please keep making this videos. I love the determination and level of research you do, and with that, everytime I learn something new.

Dave, you are the best flat earth debunker ever. Your calm, concise, and evidence based explanations are irrefutable and well presented. It's always tempting to insult or at least be sparky about flat earthers and their arguments, but you keep it to a bare minimum and are a very respectful person, even to those who probably do not deserve that respect. Keep doing what you are doing, sir.

you know when you say undebunkable the flat earthers will come with their buzz words and magnetic magic

Only here for the dog. Science stuff is a plus. Jk love your content, keep up the good word.

The attention to detail, you bring to your videos is unparalleled. At 7:17 you can also see above Greece, the huge fire that was caught at Evros at 19th of August until 4th of September, with all the smoke, going down to the Ionian sea. I was at Zakynthos island at that moment, and the sky was red-grey from all the smoke.

Remarkable attention to details, something flat earthers should probably learn to do as well.

Flat Earthers always severely underestimate how difficult, time consuming, costly and labor intensive CGI work is. They think it's just that thing lazy hollywood directors use to avoid shooting practically, instead of a field of expertise and art that takes much to get right and almost nothing to get wrong. Also funny how they only make CG claims for footage after the advent of it, regardless of footage and photographs taken before or the decades that technology spent in its infancy.

I was and will be always an globe earth believer but man....this episode of debunking flat earth it's something I haven't seen until now...it's something else! AMAZING! Love your work!

Faking this at this level of exactness and consistency would be a vastly bigger achievement than just fucking going to space, Jesus Christ.

anybody who says these images are faked has absolutely positively no idea, not even the first clue what they're talking about.

The only people claiming CGI and visual effects are people that have absolutely no idea how CGI and vfx works and how much time and effort it takes. Not to mention our technological limitations completely preventing us from rendering some of the things they claim are rendered

I suspect Flat earthers must believe 400 million Chinese people are working on CGI to create fake images, and were doing so before computers could even render a scene at all

This is the kind of forensic photographic analysis flat earthers think they are capable of

I absolutely love your Flerf debunking work. You do such a great job laying out why what we all know to be true is actually true. There's only so much pure "look at these stoopids" content I can take (not that there's anything wrong with that, just not totally my thing), whereas "look at this cool thing that could only happen if mainstream science is right" is content I can consume all day

It's just a proof that the NASA ISS Wires Removal CGI team is underpaid, while the NASA Obscure Photos team has some great talent 😉

Finding that face in those few frames, downloading the RAW file and enhancing it was brilliant. As many have said, the sheer huge volume of data and images going back to the start of space exploration is staggering. Not only are there hundreds of thousands of images, going back way before the days of cgi (something I will never understand about FErs - they can't imagine outside their own timeline). They're are also thousands of written records going back right to the start. Of course some of it is incredible reading but there are countless documents over a 60 year period that would make the dullest reading. It is idiotic to think that this huge volume of data has been created to fool the masses.

I doubt that even the top digital graphics companies combined could churn out the amount of CGI needed to fake even half of this footage in the time frame.

I’m a CG artist and have worked in the industry for 13 years. It wouldn’t be possible to achieve what we’re seeing here in that timeframe. Simple as that.

Flat Earthers won’t be able to comprehend this video, but hopefully rational people will find it appropriately fascinating. Always love seeing how relaxed and happy your dog is.

"The UK isn't really known for it's good weather", he says in a video posted on the hottest UK day of 2023 😆

As a 3D artist, I want to hire that man making these CGI so fast omg.

Brilliant, Dave!!! (As the Concept Designer for 'Gravity', working with probably the biggest CGI company in the world, I know that that sequence would have taken years to produce...) We had a lot of help from NASA, who always seemed to have operatives wearing dark glasses, even in London, and somehow would only talk to their wrists... don't know what that was about? PS... with regard to 'Gravity'. I know that there are several things technically wrong (myself having been an Aerospace Engineer in the long distant past before becoming a film Production Designer), such as airlocks opening outwards, seeing debris moving at 15,000 mph (really?), the fact that the Shuttle was taken out of commission while we were too far down the line, and maybe a couple of other things... I tried to argue with the Director (Alfonso Cuaron... I had worked with him previously on 'Children of Men' to solve a few problems, hence my strange title on that as 'Vehicle Designer' or some such... lovely man!). His answer, which I will always cherish... "I make films for audiences, and if they have to stop and think at some point because of an obscure point... I will have lost them...) PPS my lurcher says Spaniels are OK!

Getting the weather right in real time is indeed excellent evidence.

5:10 I can hear flat earthers ask: "Why does the ISS fly a curve? This doesn't make sense! IT'S FAKE!!" 😁

Exactly the first thing that came to my mind: They can CGI time lapses of earth including all visible weather details, forest fires and whatever. But then they fail on hiding "harnesses" of astronauts in almost every video FLERFS try to pick apart... futily biting at compression artifacts and transmission errors. Would be ridiculous if it wasn't so sad.

So very entertaining to view your videos, thank you for all the effort you put into this and all of your videos. Putting all of this together must have taken such a long time. Cannot wait for the Flat Earthers to spout some ridiculous claims.

Wow, that's some amazing sleuthing. I loved the reveal of Sultan AlNeyadi from the raw file.

Beautiful video, well done Dave. And with the cherry on top - the astronaut picture in reflection. Btw, could we (you really, lol) go step even further, and take something like Himawari satelite last minute photo, and compare it with the view outside of your house? This of course might require some timing with more distinguish clouds situations in various times of day, but the method and of course your results, might become persuasive enough for at least some flat earthers to go out and see that by themselves. And then, consequently, if they simply cannot catch the Himawari sending the "wrong rendering" down to Earth, which doesn't match what they see when they look up, and we all know they cannot, they MIGHT get convinced that this whole flatearth business is just one big bullshit.

now THAT is what I call " do your own research" ! excellent video Dave, very informative. 👍

So far no glitch found in the matrix! "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away." -Philip K. Dick

That part about seeing the astronaut brought all of it into an insane level of detail that I didn’t even know existed in these images. YOU CAN SEE HIM he’s there but only there if you edit the photo. Way to much for an agency who should be spending there time developing missions to space like Artemis 2 and Dragonfly to make in the short time period that flat earther’s claim they did

Love it!! Amazing the amount of effort you put in to price something that has been known for hundreds of years. Thank you for your awesome content.

I always love your lead ins to your sponsers.

Wow, your detailed work is just amazing Dave!

This is so excellent, Dave. Especially the light adjustment showing Al Neyadi's face so perfectly. A true slam dunk.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how smoothly Dave segues into promoting his sponsors! That’s a talent in itself.

Absolutely flawless work once again

That was chuffing brilliantly done, Dave. Thank you.

You do really good work. I appreciate your videos. Your style, your presentation and your hard work is evident!

I always like the segues into the ad reads you do Dave, love your work.

Your dog is such a good boi. He gives me a sense of calmness while watching this. Thanks

This is probably my favourite so far. Great stuff!

It amazes me how basic observations that happen on a globe cant happen on a flat earth yet they still "pursue truth"

Very nice Dave, the ISS strikes again! The livestream also shows hurricanes/tornadoes, wildfires, volcanoes, moon phases, the comings and goings of visiting vehicles and probably more I'm forgetting and they stream all this on the internet 24 hours a day for some unknown reason. ¦¦+¦¦

Crushed again, you're on a roll, keep it up Dave, great to hear about all these resources we'd almost never get to know about

Thanks Dave and Rusty, a very interesting insight to the ISS footage.

This is exactly the method that I was thinking I would use if I ever met a flat earther - thankfully I haven't ever met one... my plan is to use a cheap SDR with a patch antenna to directly receive and decode weather images from weather satellites such as GOES and NOAA... because you personally have to aim the antenna, and you must use the orbital ephemeris to know where to point the antenna. Then once you've decoded the image, simply look up at the sky and see if the weather overhead matches the image you have (generally you should have no trouble finding your location in the image if there is at least some area not covered by clouds). And this works no matter where on the planet you are... so the fact that you used orbital information to locate the satellite and aim the antenna says volumes about what kind of object you are standing on.

Dave, my deepest RESPECT for your work. Besides all the details on HOW this would have been done if it where CGI, there is always the good old WHY. Why would they put this much "effort" just to freely publish loads and loads of insanely big images just for people to see. From Argentina, keep up the awesome job.

Impressive work. Especially the section with the astronaut.

Dave, I feel the need to tell you something, even if you never see this. Being geographically challenged, I generally cant tell apart the landmasses beneath the ISS. So seeing you point each one out in reference to a map, gave me a whole new perspective on all of these ISS timelapses. The ability to see right across from Germany to Italy, while still having the resolution to see the shimmers of light from the rivers of France, the sheer distance the ISS goes in such a short time, the fact you could even identify the specific astronaut who wanted to take a timelapse of the ISS flying over his own home country... This video actually made me full-on emotional. I was tearing up by the end and couldn't even laugh at you dissing the flat earthers. This video just made me even more appreciative of the marvel of engineering that is the ISS. Thank you.

A stellar video as always, I love how meticulous you use camera know-how or thorough research to present very profound proof. At times, it seems like faking space station would be harder than actually making one lol. But I just have to give a quick shoutout, seeing these rivers and lakes in France light up like silver in the sunlight, that's just marvelous! I wish I could see that from the ISS myself. That will never happen, but I know, if I could go there, I would do nothing but look at the earth below gliding past. How could something so beautiful ever become boring?

Dear flat earthers out there: I am right now working my ass off with a team of 12 (!) to get a short cgi-sequence for a game done; if I could only show you the amount of work it takes to get just a few frames (not even a second) right, to have lightning, shades, motion, angles, and perspective just half way decent! Even if you had a million guys work for you, this wouldn't change a thing, because the next guy would have to wait for that one frame you are working on, before he can do his task on just the same frame. It is tedious, you can make many obvious mistakes, and you need a shit ton of data space! A sequence of many many hours of uninterrupted video stream is impossible to do in just a few days!!!

First off, its surreal how this stuff happens. How we have people in space orbiting and satellite images. Just a great testament to what we have achieved in such a short period of time. Second of all, its absolutely hilarious. Dave basically says "Here flat earthers, here's why you're idea is ridiculous!" but he doesn't stop there. "Oh, by the way, let me just go above and beyond to show you even more reasons why." and then continues "but wait! There's more!" and tops it off with "now just let me take this idea and run with it for miles and miles and miles" hahaha. Great video! It truly blows me away how a person could honestly think Earth was flat despite the overwhelmingly insane amount of evidence that its not. At this point, I'm convinced that none of them actually believe it, its just a cry for attention.

Majestic. This video starts well, escalates to mid point excellence then sails through the stratosphere for a standing ovation finish. Without seeming to break a sweat.

Wow. This is one of your best videos yet. You're hitting ideas for evidence I've thought up myself and going into WAAY better detail. I've thought about using the matching clouds as well, but instead, I just waited for the ISS to fly over my house via the live feed and just looked up. Actually, using the live feed would make for great INSTANT comparison of clouds.

Pretty damn thorough once again, Dave. This is a masterclass in globe proofs.

Great video Mr. McKeegan!

Another great video, you've really shown a level of detail many don't go into

Your best one yet, especially the final segment. "an insane level of detail for a CGI dept to go into" 😂

its always a good day when flat earthers are proved wrong

DAVE, I was listening on my Baofeng UV5 radio to Sultan chatting to a Ham radio station on Earth at the same time as this time lapse was going on. See if you can get a recording to confirm Sultan was on the ISS during this time. There will be a record somewhere of the radio contact.

this was my favourite Weatherreport thus far. Gorgeous Host ;)

Posting this because I hear it helps the algorithm. And just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts. Amazing detail.

I bet you anything that in the near future that flat earthers will move the excuse from "it's CGI" to "A.I. did it"

Thank you! I’ve had this idea of matching the ISS images to weather data, but this went even further with the reflection of the astronaut. I didn’t even know that they release such timelapses. I had thought of matching the real-time video scenes to the weather outside. 🙂

Love your work, my man.

3:09 flat earthers will say that’s fake because there’s no rainbows and leprechauns or Welsh dragons.

Amazing video man, you made my mid break at the office enjoyable!

And Dave scores a strike. Just love how you really goes in to the depth of things. And maybe I shall use one of those rawfiles to show my photography students how much detail a camera actually do pick up. Good job Sir.

They will just see this and say they did this perfectly but all the errors in the iss footage is from laziness 😂

Nerdgasmic video. Thank you for poring over the data and making this. I keep saying it, but I'll say it again: even without flat earthers, it's good for the general public to be aware of all this, the science, the public resources, etc. It's also good to share! Having recently bought an 8'' dobsonian telescope, showing people Saturn, Jupiter and everything else available (the Pleiades, the Andromeda galaxy, etc.) is one of my favorite things. Thanks for sharing, Dave!

Bravo. Good work was done here. ❤

Just want to say you are the best at sponsor transitions. I can never see them coming.

I think this video might (for me anyway) be the most enlightening video you've ever produced. Right at the end you brought up the challenges and time frames the 3D effects artists would have been up against when you reminded us that the flerfs consider the "CGI Dept" at NASA some of the worst visual effects artists on earth. This oxymoronic view of things is emblematic of conspiracy theorists such as flerfs. It's also a great way to spot fascistic rhetoric. "That group of purple people are the reason our economy is gone down the tubes so we should cut ties with them and halt all dealings with them and ban them from our establishments" and that verbal darrihea is then followed up by someone with a rant that goes something like "That group of purple people are all rich and hoarding money because they all stick together and spend their money with other purple people. They control huge portions of whatever industry and undercut us with their massive buying power which is ruining our economy ". Russia is a current prime example. Russia: We're here to liberate the citizens from the tyrannical rule of the Neo-Gnat-z's just like it's 1945. Also Russia: Congratulations people of the donbass. Your village was purged of imaginary neo-n@zis by Wagner, a group of brutally violent, neo-n@zi war criminals covered in N@zi tattoos and iconography and named after Hitlers favorite composer. Russia: Of course we haven't conquered Kyiv and toppled Zelenski yet, the entirety of NATO is in, on, above, around, alongside and allover Ukraine Also Russia: Hahaha the entirety of NATO is being simultaneously beaten into a gelatinous pulp to be scraped off our fine Soviet combat boots. It's impossible to stop the great Russian war machine. I now think I understand why the flerf/truther crowd is so heavily infected with at-right/fundie/fascist adjacent types. They all speak the same language and call their dogs with similar whistles.

It would be literally 100 times easier and cheaper to just put the ISS in orbit than to fake all these images. I know this argument doesn't convince FEs because they think the ISS is just impossible but damn, they do think the government is just incredibly powerful.

Absolutely brilliant!

Brilliant as usual. ⭐️

Excellent video, Dave. Since this one deals with weather, I've often wondered how flat earthers explain the Coriolis effect and how hurricanes and typhoons rotate in opposite directions above and below the Equator on a flat earth.

To create all those time-lapse videos in such details would require an extremely complex setup with lots of high-tech equipment... Something like a space station in orbit. 🤔

Great job Dave. Salute.

You are so masterful at completely dismantling the Flerf delusion. Well done as always, Dave!

I just love the intelligent ideas Dave has, and his attention to minute details, which repeatedly shatter the Flat Earth Beleivers protests and strange ideas about the CGI renderings happening Non-stop. I say this to them when they pop into the live ISS stream I often visit over my day; Show me a comparable CGI Video that looks just like this. CGI still looks unreal, yes? Usually, it's 'more real than real' with too much color, with unrealistic perspective, with the outlines or edges of bodies being not quite right when seen against any distant background, such as a distant sky. Compare the ISS images and videos to Avatar2 or Gravity; they do NOT at ALL look real compared to ISS' images. Thanks for your careful research and work to bring us these facts, Dave!

So in order for this to be CGI (and that being the most perfect CGI ever), NASA would have to be spending an MCU movie sized budget and work load almost DAILY.... so $400m/ day x 365 days = $146b... well within the spending limits of their $23b a year budget...😂

Game, set and wow those clouds in the ISS stream Match the weather radar well! Nicely done.

Another great video, thanks, Dave.

This is what you get when you actually do your own research. :)

The biggest difference between flat earthers and scientists is that scientists look for evidence to disprove their claim while flat earthers look for evidence to prove theirs.

I am very Impressed by your research and attention to detail.

The last 5 minutes were top-notch in mentioning Sultan.. keep on doing great work debunking the flat earth idiots!
