How NASA Creates Their "True" Images

So as you may know from one of our recent posts, Part one and Part two of "Are NASA's Space Images Fake?", you may have seen some images that are not specifically planets, but the ISS in space, above the earth, showing a round earth below. The round earth is formed by a specialized camera lens called Fisheye Lens. These images can very likely be real as you may say, "Alright, fine they didn't go to the moon, but they did go on the outskirts of the Earth's atmosphere which proves the earth is round AND the images are real." But we think otherwise, and in this post, we'll explain why.

So how do we know how NASA faked these images?

Just recently, I noticed that in the NASA training grounds where they have a large pool where the astronauts train, the images taken in the pool look quite similar to the images taken in space. So I decided to do some "faking" of my own. I took an ordinary astronaut in training image you can see below. And I removed the background and added in a space background of my own, the similarity is spectacular.

Here's another one I also did:

It is so very simple to fake these images, if I can easily fake them within seconds, don't you think NASA can do it 10 times better?
