Flat Earth Q&A / Re: South Pole

« on: August 27, 2007, 06:23:21 PM »

from what i've gathered on this site, your uncle must have been in some kind of simulator, that made him think he was at the south pole when he was really just somewhere in the Arizona desert.

the earth is flat for the following reasons:

all of the round earth pics are photoshopped and none of the flat earth pics are

and because theres no way a site with three FE believers and EnaG can be wrong.

its probably already been said, but i must have missed it. how was it that pilots thought they were going one way but were going the other?

o boy. Theres a lot more to flying "straight" then not turning, unless you've got some twisted definition of straight, kind of like how you think of irrelevant.

how is my answer not relevant? it answered your question. what is this world coming to? do you know what irrelavant means? how can you think that a plane trip around the world isn't possible?

sure, you'd end up in the same place but such a venture is easier said then done. i'm really not surpirised that no one has tried it because the fuel costs especially in this day and age would be enough to put most people out on the street.

ya that incredible adventure thing is just a huge effects show. i guess they can simulate the weightlessness and the glass in the cockpit is some high tech tv screen.

ya gee TomB, earlier in this thread(page 8, 3/4 the way down), you said that even a flat earth would appear rounded, eliptical, and now it would look like a coin? anyways, yes i can think that every ice shelf picture is photoshopped, because any FE'er thinks that a round earth picture is photoshopped or whatever the theory is.

so really all of this is just a big word game? i mean if you can get into space for long enough to see one side of the world, and then do it again and see the other side of the world isnt that enough proof that the earth is round? suborbital flight,which ive gathered theengineer believes in, is high enough to see the curve and continents of the earth.

yeah, that picture looks photoshopped to me, and ah, how long do you have to be in space for it to be considered sustained spaceflight?

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Probably Same old Stuff for your guys but......

« on: August 02, 2007, 08:03:18 PM »

so for spaceflight to be considered sustained, you would need to fly up in a shuttle, or watever, that doesn't need to be refueled?

hey i'm in,it may be tough to find people for the FE side tho.

i guess this may be the perfect time(maybe not) to ask how long a spaceflight has to be to be considered sustained.

You can fly into space in the FE, you just can't stay there, hence, the 'sustained' part.

"staying there" could be any amount of time though.

o.k. i guess before we go any farther into this and split any more hairs, i should ask what the difference between spaceflight and sustained spaceflight is?

i once saw a quote Daniel made from the bible that said the earth has 4 corners, but no one asked him if he believed in that too. all those quotes are obviously just trying to get a point across, not to be over analyzed.

plus the issue is that you can't fall at the necessary speed to simulate weightlessness for 6 continous minutes without going into space.

i see why so many have given up debating with FE'ers! wow, at least you get what im trying to say Gulliver. i think lorcan would like to get in on this thread.

umm...no, i think that 6 minutes in suborbital flight is long enough to be considered sustained spaceflight. not to mention that it wouldn't take 6 minutes to fall 100km to earth going at whatever the terminal velocity of the spacecraft is.

yes what you quoted was my question, but "you dont get into orbit" doesnt answer it, i must be missing something. i asked for what you do get, not what you dont. you can still go into space and not be in orbit, its called suborbital spaceflight.

i dont think that $200000(or any amount of money) is enough to make an "effects show" that can simulate weightlessness continously for 6 minutes without going into space.

if sustained space flight isn't possible than what is it i get when i pay $200 g's for a space flight?
