i was wondering if the whole globe is rendered why when i leave the channel map the game becomes unstable and freezes?

i question everything except my only axiom that my family loves me

the space walk picture could be real or fake i dont know

but i wonder why on the thousands pictures provided doesnt appearn any earth selfshadow?

its no a matter or day or night in sapce sun always shines

its a matter that the only way of no earth self shadows showing in the picture is the sun being exactly in the vertical of the photographer

if the sun its 90 offset from the photographer, still day time, you should see half earth with shadow and half bright blue

so i just ask why in the thousand pictures i provided the sun its always at the zenith of the photographer?

you shouldnt consider me crazy for pondering this if you have no answer for it

edit:

well i checked all space walk pictures avaliable in google searching space walk and in none earth has a self shadow

http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&bi...&aqi=&aql=&oq=

you must have searched other words and noon doesnt happen 12 hours a day

in fact i would bet youve never seen the sun in your zenith exactly in your vertical unless you live between the tropics

At any 1 point in time half the globe is half light and half dark.

The space walks are all done at an altitude of about 100 - 130 miles so you are looking at quite a small section of the earth in the background. Add to this that if you are taking photographs you tend to need light so they take the pictures when they are on the light side of the earth. What's so hard to understand about that? If they took them when they were on the darkside of the earth they wouldn't show anything as the people would be in total darkness because they would be in the earths shadow.


I've already posted a 'boundary' picture or 3 so what's your point?

It dosn't have to be at zenith, it just has to be daytime. It dosn't go dark on earth at half an hour after noon, it's light where I live for 10 hours a day at the moment.



You are not thinking about this properly. If you look at all those shots and then work out the angle of the sun from the shadows you'll notice that they are not all taken at the same time of day.

Seriously you're beginning to make yourself look even more stupid.
