Robert Simmon 'Mr. Blue Marble'

Brought us our first ever image of the Blue Marble from outer space since 1972!!!

Even when I type his name in. Robert Simmon I still have to scroll past 20 channels and still haven't got to the actual interview even though I watched it before. It should be in my algorithm

Since its inception, the United States has spent nearly US$650 billion on NASA.

Download and save it bro. This won't be around forever...

All that NASA gives us is a bunch of cartoon balls.

The only reason to use a composite of images is because you cant go to space. This is an IQ test

[randylayhey]

It is photoshopped... but it, it has to be. get me everytime lol

[Neagu_Ion]

NASA also said that it's kinda flat at the bottom, it's pear shaped. So, this picture is fake.

[saintjhon]

Why is this interview so damn hard to find

[JeffSmith-ittm]

thank you for proving the earth is flat

[alongthejourney]

Thanks for this video, I was trying to find the source on NASA’s site but it wasn’t coming up and you just helped me :)

[dreddmann]

what I hate is the fact that no one who works with NASA or SPACEX has came out declaring that they are going to make sure that only real images from space will be shown and that no photo touch-ups will ever be passed off as actual images of space to the public. Not one employee from either agency has bothered to even want to show any kind of transparency within there field. I mean if space travel was actually being achieved how can you NOT want to be transparent about it. Not being 100% transparent in what you claim to achieve, just means that your in the business to decieve.

[gangstaeurope]

I’m confused. If it’s real, just take a photo? It’s really not that hard.

Robert Simmon was talking about a data visualization of the whole world that NASA created in 2002. Obviously, any visualization that includes both sides of the world isn't a single picture.
Thirteen years later (in 2015), President Obama announced that we hadn't had any detailed snapshots of the earth since 1972, because the DSCOVR satellite started sending back snapshots of the earth. It's been taking pictures of the earth every few hours since 2015.
That's clever editing by you to put Obama's quote first even though it happened over a decade later.

[pikleman]

Damn, so many idiots in the comments here who don't quite get the concept of composite images. Probably due to the misleading ending, where the one quote is repeated multiple times.

[stefingarrett]

Always a Perfectly Round picture with no real 3D effect for Top, Sides and Bottom of Earth, thought you wanted to convince me it's a globe

[diane]

His last name is “Simmon”. That is not an interview. It’s someone saying stuff and inserting sections of whatever makes her sound good. Someone said the picture is fake. It is, in the sense that no one has taken a photograph of the Earth since 1972. One comment was how far he had to scroll to find this. Yes, because it’s bs.

[JudaismIslamUnited]

30 years for the next image to be created. They got lazy hu

[HyperXcube]

Name of the background music when Obama is talking please

We need to take a look at facts, from TODAY!
