Agreed, I can't tell if it is real or all generated?

No kidding - despite the fact that the images are all credited as "Photo by", I simply don't believe they are photos. They look more like videogame loading screen artwork (especially the images with engineers working on planes)

I thought it was universally known that photographs usually have post processing effects (filters) applied to them. Post processing effects allow the artist to place their hand on the picture. It's clear that the photos have been touched by the artist and they have achieved a look that the photographer was going for. Most photographers alter the raw photograph data.

  Most serious photographers alter data while not straying far from reality. Cheap instagram-style filters are sign of amateurs trying to grab attention, not pros. Or in 2023 we can call it 'midjourney look'. Whatever the name, it looks cheap to many. Hardly the effect desired by author.

  So you invest a lot of money to send a photographer to the edge of space, and then you get images that don't even look like real photos anymore. Imagine the irony...

  Still, there must a good reason why this guy was chosen to conduct these photographs. Why him?

I don't get how you go and get access to something that not many people get to see, and then you edit the photos so much that they look computer generated. Looking at his portfolio it seems like he his better at photoshop than at taking photos.
