Eric Dubay often mentions why the church and recently NASA wants you to believe you live on a tiny, spinning ball. I think Jeran of jeranism.com also mentioned this as well.
I found this link on cluesforum – I’m not sure if the author is being sarcastic or not that the Japanese wouldn’t lie about their latest fake space photo.
This passage ended the article, which confirms Eric’s thesis.
Given the low probability that the Hayabusa spacecraft is at the perfect angle to most accurately represent the distance, the distance is likely greater than what appears in the photo. Nonetheless, this is an incredible image to depict the emptiness of space, the great distances between bodies, and how insignificant our Earth is in the dark abyss.
