Part 2/8:
Loeb begins by criticizing NASA’s slow response in releasing high-resolution imagery of the object. Despite a promising image taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s camera—which offers a pixel resolution of about 30 km, three times sharper than the previous Hubble shots—NASA has yet to make these photos public. The agency attributes the delay to a government shutdown, but Loeb remains skeptical, suggesting that if there's nothing to conceal, then transparency should be a given.
