"Flames shot from the nozzles of the Space Shuttle's three engines during the successful 20-second static firing, which capped a formal rehearsal for the maiden flight of Columbia, scheduled for early April. The milestone event took place at 8:45 a.m. on Feb. 20, 1981. The three main engines reached 100 percent power - over 1 million pounds of thrust - during the test. Holddown bolts secured the vehicle to its mobile launcher platform."

February 12, 1961 — Venera 1 launches to Venus
The Soviet Venera 1 was the first interplanetary spacecraft and the first spacecraft to fly by Venus. The first attempt to reach Venus, commonly called Sputnik 7, failed to leave Earth orbit the week prior. Venera 1 passed within 62,000 miles (100,000 km) of Venus in May but returned no data since contact with Earth had been lost only one week after launch.

Out of all the issues with generative AI the one that irks me the most is faking historical imagery. You’re telling me that you made a documentary and want to be taken seriously?? And can’t even be assed to use a real photo? Or, your understanding of the field and ability to research is so lacking that you couldn’t even tell what was reliable? There’s no bigger failure while trying to appear knowledgeable
