Not my video, but wow is it well-researched, enlightening, and unsettling!

    Might be a otherwise well made video. But that intro instantly tingled my spidey senses?

    Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?

    Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less ‘amazing’. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.

    Also the ‘interesting feature’ of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They’re spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

    Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.

    meh

      It’s such a minor part of the video that I didn’t put too much thought into it, but ironically the point of the video is that we shouldn’t overlook small ‘glitches’, so you’re quite right to look into it critically I think!

      The video is more focused on the history of Israel, and computation’s role in that. With that in mind, I think you’re right. It’s almost definitely some sensationalism up top to warm the crowd.
