The Chinese in outer space: how did they look into the water?

The entry quickly spread across blogs, and it was Internet users who determined that it was fake. NASA experts agreed with them and presented evidence of falsification.

In late September, China Central Television pompously broadcast the launch of the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft as part of a space project led by the Chinese Communist Party.

"Where are the bubbles in space?" - the observant Chinese were clapping their eyes in bewilderment. How did it happen that the flag of China is brightly lit? " Immediately after the broadcast, the video hit the Internet, in particular on the YouTube website, and from there it instantly spread across thousands of diaries.

It was the bloggers who noticed that the video filming contains many inexplicable physical phenomena. In particular, at the clocks 8'46 "and 8'52" from the open hatch of the "Shenzhou-7" small objects, similar to air bubbles, are rapidly flying upwards.

"Where are the bubbles in space?" - the observant Chinese clapped in bewilderment with unusually round eyes. How is it that the flag of China is brightly lit? It seems that it was specially illuminated during filming. Some even made out the glare of the three lamps on the taikonaut's spacesuit. Why three? As was the case with the landing on the moon, many immediately decided that no one went into outer space, and the show was filmed in a training pool filled with water,”- writes, in particular, in his blog, user Gadgetravever.

If this is true, then the filming of the "spacewalk" actually took place in a pool to create the illusion of zero gravity.

In addition, the recording does not show signs of the earth's atmosphere, there is no background interference typical for communication in outer space, and mechanical noise from hundreds of operating instruments that accompany astronauts throughout the flight, Internet users notice.

“I know that the Chinese communist regime has a whole archive of fake videos created in the name of achieving political goals. But when I saw inconsistencies in the broadcast of the launch of the spacecraft, I did not want to believe them,”NASA expert Tsu Zheng told The Epoch Times. - I really wanted to believe that the live broadcast was real. But if this video, broadcast all over the world, turns out to be a fake, this will not only lead to the fact that the Chinese will lose face in front of the whole world, but it will also be difficult for me personally to look my colleagues in the eye.”

Tsu Zheng also noticed small objects in the video, periodically flying from bottom to top of the screen at high speed. "Even if it is cosmic dust, as the commentary on the Juquan Satellite Launch Center entry says, it is too much, given the low density of such large particles in space," says Tsu Zheng. He has his own version of the appearance of these bubbles.

“Firstly, the bubbles are very clear in the image: when they appear, they move very slowly, then gradually accelerate,” says the expert. - This is typical for bubbles moving under the influence of buoyancy. Second, they increase in size as they move. It also indicates that the bubbles increase as the pressure decreases. Space dust or specks in the cockpit cannot exist in the form of a liquid. Third, small objects were very bright in relation to the background. This is a feature of bubbles, which have the ability to reflect when air comes into contact with water.

Given these three points, we can conclude that the actions outside the cockpit were actually filmed under water, - sums up the NASA expert.“Human movements underwater can cause water to flow, so some of the bubbles moved diagonally,” he notes.

According to Tsu Zheng, if you look closely, you can see the cable that connects the spacesuit to the spacecraft in the video. A tube can be placed inside it to eliminate the signs of air inhalation.

In addition, the expert draws attention to the following fact: in the video filmed by the space shuttle NASA Discovery STS-121 in July 2006, a thin blue shell around the Earth is visible, giving it a slightly blurred appearance - this is the Earth's atmosphere. "But if we look at the photo from the Xinhua news report or from the so-called live video, we see that the outlines of the Earth next to Shenzhou 7 are almost completely clear and there is no blue atmosphere around it," says a NASA specialist.

Meanwhile, the spacewalk of Chinese astronauts in their homeland has already been elevated to the rank of an event of exceptional importance. For example, the China General Philatelic Company issued a commemorative sign to commemorate this date on October 16.

The precious badge is cast from 6 grams of the highest standard gold and 90 grams of pure silver. The obverse is engraved with portraits of six Chinese astronauts - Yang Liwei, Fei Junlong, Nie Haisheng, Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng. In addition to the badge, a postage stamp with the astronauts' autographs was issued.
