I wonder if Dahboo is inferring actual physical (woo woo) ‘holes’ in the poles vs plasma vortices like Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus have at their poles? Why would that prevent satellites from being able to image our South Pole? If we can get images of the other planet’s poles, why not here? There’s a good pole holes discussion here: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-almost-all-the-planets-Venus-Saturn-Mars-Neptune-a-crapload-of-lunar-moons-Mercury-and-arguably-the-Earth-have-holes-in-their-North-and-or-South-Poles

There’s a lot about our planet that we don’t know. But this Yee-haa self endorsing Redneck ‘gitting it ree-height’ would really be the end of my faith in humankind. He has zero understanding of what an polar orbit is and his stunted comprehension of physics seems to be blocking him understanding that the magnetic pole has nothing to do with the orbital axis of our planet. (or someone might have noticed that Polaris isnt there anymore. . . . ) Someone go tell him to watch this video to understand “WHY THE HOLE IS THEEE YARRRR!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGTX9ZKo1Y8 .

Right now, the Earth’s rotation axis happens to be pointing almost exactly at Polaris. But in the year 3000 B.C., the North Star was a star called Thuban (also known as Alpha Draconis), and in about 13,000 years from now the precession of the rotation axis will mean that the bright star Vega will be the North Star……
Thuban, also designated Alpha Draconis (α Draconis, abbreviated Alpha Dra, α Dra), is a star (or star system) in the constellation of Draco. A relatively inconspicuous star in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere, it is historically significant as having been the north pole star from the 4th to 2nd millennium BC. The traditional name Thuban is derived from the Arabic word ثعبان thuʿbān, ‘snake’
