Flat Earth Debate / Re: Breaking news: Satellites do exist !!!

« on: May 19, 2013, 06:54:42 PM »

thats funny. i seem to remember you saying that their have not been enough launches for all the satellites in orbit. then i remember posting a link providing all the dates launches orbits and vehicles used thus proving you wrong. then i remember you saying the space shuttle was the only US launch system lol. that was funny

I never said the shuttle was the only launch system at all. I said, all we ever seen was shuttle launches in the last 30 years.

I live like 25 miles from Cape Canaveral and see rocket launches often. I can take pictures of the next one if you'd like if the weather allows. There's a Delta 4 taking off on May 22nd but it's at 8:30pm so it might be too dark to get a good picture as I don't have a good camera. The next day launch will be no problem though.

Lol,

Here's a video of the lights on the ISS at night.  Forward to 6:56

As far as your diagram, you used a sphere which isn't accurate.   

Cool video. It furthers the point that the lights on the ISS are nothing more than work lights used to disperse light over a large area at a short distance, further reinforcing the conclusion that it would not be seen by the naked eye from the ground while in the earth's shadow.

I am correct. A full moon is geometrically impossible with the round earth model.

A lunar eclipse is what happens at a perfect full moon.

What do you mean it's not visible? It has lights on it.  I've seen a video on YT of the astronauts doing a spacewalk and it showed the ISS in the shadow of the Earth.

You're asking why small work lights that are meant to disperse light over a wide area at a short distance aren't visible to our human eyes from 230m away and through our atmosphere?
