I don’t get it.
I watched the footage and saw nothing suspicious.
Things I did see were a flag fluttering in all directions, karabiners bouncing back and forth on the rails they were clipped onto and a mirror on the astronaut’s left wrist.
A flag in water will only move in the direction it’s dragged. There’s simply no way the flag will remain perpendicular to its direction of motion if it’s in water. I suspect that would be the case even if the rectangle was made of something heavy like lead or uranium, but such a flag then wouldn’t be flexible.
The karabiners are either going to be lighter than water or heavier than water. If they’re lighter than water they’re going to float in one direction, and if heavier they’re going they’re going to sink in another direction. But no matter their density compared to water, I can’t see them bouncing around like they do in the video clip.
The mirror is presumably to let the astronauts read dials on their chest, but it has the incidental effect of reflecting everything as they move their arms around. If the footage was all recorded in a tank, that’s a lot of extra computer work to ensure the reflections are correct and consistent, and that no extraneous objects are reflected.
Russia has done a lot of stuff, too and they were communists. They also lied about a lot of things because communist governments aren't open and therefore can lie and get away with it.
Yes they lied a lot. And a lot of people in the Western media bought the lies. But the point is that the Soviets
didn’t get away with a lot of stuff. The Americans knew about the N-1 rockets as they were rolled out onto the pad, so even if the Soviets claimed they weren’t part of this American Space Race silliness, NASA knew otherwise. Likewise the disappearing astronauts were noticed in the 1970s thanks to different versions of doctored photos. Ten minutes of faked video is orders of magnitude more complex than individual photos.
… just because a technology works, doesn't mean the operator understands how to use it. Just because China USES Russian technology doesn't mean they have learned how to properly put it to work. This goes for any country that attempts spaceflight. Not just China.
Seeing as you accept the reality of earlier Chinese space flights, are you seriously saying that they’d be launching people into space without knowing how their spacecraft work?
I have still received NO proof to the claim that China has the ability to let a man spacewalk outside his cabin. Many people have said that here on this thread but have offered no proof of their claims. I guess we can just assume there is no proof that China can safely spacewalk...
What sort of proof would satisfy you?
China has not had space-age technology for almost 60 years like the US and Russia has. Someone who is new to something might "suck" at it. If China can't do something yet, but they want to be apart of the game, they can just as easily fake it. Were you alive in the 60's? If you were, you remember space missions (advanced ones, too!) going up every few months. Apollo missions going up just three months apart or whatever. From testing the LM in LEO in March to landing it on the moon in July. China has so far (apparently) achieved three manned space missions over the last almost ten years.... If they were moving at the rate we were in the 60's, they'd already have landed a man on the moon. But they're not.
Unfortunately I see a few problems with this argument.
The first is that if the Chinese
were launching a mission every three months or so, that would also be fodder for the conspiracy theorists, who would be asking, “How can they possibly be achieving so many missions so quickly? It must be faked!”
The second thing is that the rate of Chinese launches is obviously affected by a heap of factors, including budget. I have no idea what the Chinese Manned Space Missions budget is, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s smaller (when adjusted for inflation) than NASA’s equivalent was back in the early- to mid-1960s.
Thirdly, the amount of time China has had their technology is broadly the same as the time the Soviets and Americans had their technology prior to their successful spacewalk missions. If the Soviets and Americans could achieve spacewalks that quickly, why can’t the Chinese?
