Look Mcfaggyflat, Passenger jets cruising altitude is 30,000 feet - meaning unless you are photographing right by an airport, chances are that the height of the plane being photographed is 30,000 feet. Here, I fixed the ratios and overlaid your moon photos for you and even rotated it so the moon geography matches.
Does the ISS look 45x smaller than the plane now? No, not really. But there are other variables that need to be taken into account like angle of the object photographed, shadows, etc. And does an object 45x farther away in a photograph always appear exactly 45x smaller no matter the distance? Seems a reasonable assumption but fuck if it know. Its clearly not as cut and dried as you would have us believe those. At least now you can present an unjewed honest distance ratio and photograph with your pitch. You're welcome.
