Satellites are not impossible on a Flat Earth. They could circle above the disc, around the North Pole, exactly the same as the Sun and Moon.By whatever system is accepted to keep the celestial system rotating in the particular model, possibly. Unless they accept that there is something preventing anything from going high enough or that the celestial bodies are not physical.
Since space agencies are full of lies, it's entirely possible that they operate satellites, while still lying about how they work.Though people can launch cubesats themselves without appealing to space agencies, so there could be nothing much to hide. I am not sure how easy it is, but Keplar's laws of orbit are recommended to take into account when launching it.
If anything, it raises many more problems... The number of people in on the conspiration goes way up ; satellite based technology is readily accessible and testable by individuals ; much of today's information would not exist without them (starting with weather forecast) ; etc.They would work by Keplar's laws, which are based on the Round Earth, so either these laws match the FE way of orbit (like with some whirlpool circling above), or is a lie of some sort. Another thing to remember is that with things like ISS and cameras on satellites, you see apparent curvature and Zero-G, which you may say is faked, but if allowed, would have to be explained.
It would be absolutely easier for FEers to accept satellites and just adapt them to FET, as they do with seasons and eclipses for example.The sun and moon would be satellites, what you are talking about is artificial satellites launched, which some do accept. I wouldn't have an issue with it, but I am neo-planarist anyways, so...
Still, it seems to be one of the few points that most FEers agree on. So I would like to see what it accomplishes. How is this point useful in FET ?I would prefer a model which can adequately explain how satellites launched are able to be sustained circling the Earth. It could be good for FE.
Satellites are not impossible on a Flat Earth. They could circle above the disc, around the North Pole, exactly the same as the Sun and Moon.Except for the imaging and mapping satellites in polar orbits, which are completely impossible on a flat earth.

It seems like it would take an awful lot of fuel to keep changing course like that all the time.Except for the imaging and mapping satellites in polar orbits, which are completely impossible on a flat earth.
The satellite could go from North Pole to Antarctica then circle around the wall of ice and come out the other way as a deception. I guess.
Satellites are not impossible on a Flat Earth. They could circle above the disc, around the North Pole, exactly the same as the Sun and Moon.I'll go right back to the original question and not try to question whether satellites are or are not impossible on a Flat Earth.

The existence of such a huge quantity of false information indicates the existence of the conspiracy.
Essentially the reasoning boils down to -
P1) If personally unverifiable evidence contradicts an obvious truth then the evidence is fabricated
P2) The FET (Flat Earth Theory) is an obvious truth
P3) There is personally unverifiable evidence that contradicts the FET
C1) The unverifiable evidence that contradicts the FET is fabricated evidence

Yet again, no answer to my question.
Nearly every single message related to satellites on this board see FEers loudly claim that satellites are part of the conspiration...
But when asked precisely about it, nobody is going to answer. Except the one guy who believes they exist.
That's just sad. Next time, satellites are guaranteed to be treated as lies, and we still won't know why.
It is impossible to apply a scientific process when a theory requires conspiracy to make the theory possible. Once a conspiracy becomes part of the equation you can pick and choose what is fact. It would be impossible to allow for satellites in a FE theory. There was a time when a FE debate might even be possible. That time has long passed with the advent of modern technology. We have the ability to communicate live with pretty much anyone anywhere in the world. There is not a single scientist in the world that accepts the FE theory. I don’t know of a single astronomer who will validate the FE concept. So all scientists have to be included in the conspiracy. When literally billions of people disagree with your position. A reasonable person would have to consider that maybe their beliefs may be incorrect. Otherwise you have to choose willful ignorance.
