Because NASA (nor anyone) didn't foresee it in the 60's, we can't do it now?

Question

Those million orbit Gemini missions, days and days and days up there, and they couldn't take optical photographs of the moon and then of the stars that would've been in the background if only we could overcome the shutter-speed problem. So I can'tnow scan in a Gemini photo of the Moon and a second photo of the stars that would be in that shot and edit them to make a collage better than they eye could see?

Nor can I assemble a stillpic, definitely not make an animation of the Moon passing around its full orbit complete with all of the stars etc as they would be seen at every point.

The Apollo mob were BIG on panoramas. Is it possible to generate a 360 degrees animation of the Earth as seen from the Moon complete with all the stars that could be seen were it not for the brightness of the Earth.

Film and manual superimposition from negatives taken at different shutter speeds could've easily assembled a hardcopy version of Earth & background taken from various points. Why not?

Is it really that complicated? I want a picture of Earth in front of the stars, taken from the moon. NASA never took any such photos. It can't be done with one camera and must be assembled by superimposing.

That they decided there would never be a need or appllication for such photos suggests groupthink. Another "O-Ring".

What *are* you babbling about? Is there a question hidden in there somewhere? Or were you just trying to use up the last of the hemp? ☺

Answer 2

If your question is how can it be done, I recommend both MAYA and 3dMax, you can make all the animations of earth you want with them
