AND surah zariyat aya 47 ( 51:47 And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander. ) AND Yasin aya 38 (yaseen) (And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.) AND surah Anbiya aya 33 (21:33 And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.) AGAIN AND AGAIN, ALLAH WHO CREAT THE UNIVERSE HE DESCRIBED EVERYTHING IN THE QURAN 1400 YEARS AGO. ALLAH SAID (41:53 We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?) Quran 41:53 Surah Fussilat ayat 53 THERE is STILL A LOT ABOUT UNIVERSE IN THE QURAN.

Learn how cameras work. Go take a picture of the moon at night - I dare you to take a clear picture of the moon while still showing stars. If doing it with such a small semi-bright object like the moon is so difficult, imagine trying to do the same with something much bigger and brighter in frame. You can take a picture of one or the other, not both.

I am in utter shock that they had the audacity to pre record footage and doctor it up to look like a successful launch to orbit when in fact there was a horrific tragic failure and loss of life of 2 wonderful human beings. Shame on those in power that allow their egos and the "importance" of United States Of America successfully establishing the return to prominence in self sustaining launches from our own soil for the first time since N.A.S.A retired the space program on home soil and have been sub contracting to the Russians to launch all payloads for over 12 or so years.
