I used to have Mavicas for a photography/web design, course I taught. But I'm not you momma.

This is typical since the advent of the digital camera. Everyone is a photographer! BS...Don't get me wrong, I will never give up my digital camera and go back to film for several reasons I will not go in to, but a person like the one who shot the pic of the rock should learn how to shoot a picture before buying out the camera shop. All the equipment in the world may not help this person.

I think the "rock" is a comet the Rosetta space mission landed on. It's just a spoof really. Pretty funny all the silly comments.

I hope this was an attempt at satire (which, in that light, is quite funny BTW)...

The "rock" is 67P aka Churyumov–Gerasimenko
67P/Churyumov?Gerasimenko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and the "snapshooter" is the ESA:

...the fun part is that they actually have access to most "all the equipment in the world"!

NCN is a satirical site, everything there is satire.
Read some more of their posts, you'll get some laughs.

I was refering to Rimfiredude's post, I got the satire thing (hence the "selfie-stick" comment on page one)...

NCN is a satire website. No worries.

I think that was the point of the satire

... or at least one of them.

It's why I posted it!

Absolutely, but they don't know how to use it.

Photography satirists are the lousiest proofreaders.

It needs more typos, as their common on the web.
