Flat Earth General / When civilians are taken to space...
« on: October 07, 2016, 10:31:53 AM »
SpaceX is already taking cargo to ISS. In 2017-2018 they plan on taking astronauts to ISS. In 10-15 years they plan taking people to Mars  :o  So somewhere in that timeframe, civilian space flight will become a reality.

I'm wondering what will happen to this website when SpaceX takes its first group of civilians to space. Then the next group, then the next, and even the skeptics from around here could get a ride. Will the conspirators spit in the face of unsurmountable evidence (not that we don't already have it), or will this place become a ghost town?

Flat Earth General / Man dies from exhaustion crossing the Antarctic

So I guess people *can* go there, even if to die.

The shadow of the sun is something anyone can observe and study for themselves.

Flat Earth General / Space tourism is coming, ready for it?

They did a successful test launch and land. Obviously the people in space part of the video is a mockup, but the rocket launch/land is the real deal. It's coming!

So is this recent photo from the space station real, or are these guys making fakes to fool the world too?

Flat Earth General / Airplane photos and videos
« on: October 23, 2015, 10:01:50 AM »
At 33,000 feet looking across a ~200 mile span, the curvature would be 75 feet on either side. This equates to slightly less than one pixel in height for a 1080p resolution photo. The curve won't be obvious at this height. In a U2 spy plane at 70,000 feet however, uncovers it all. You can see as he moves the camera around in the cockpit how much fisheye there is, which is not noticeable if any. The earth is not curved because of a camera lens folks.

Flat Earth General / Two good YouTube videos.

Sorry they are a bit condescending, but they pretty much explain the RE with science and math, not NASA or government brainwashing.

I'm not going to get into any technical proofs. The answer is simply by observing this: Among the population of people that think about "is the earth round or flat?" which would include most educated adults, what percentage of the whole actually believe the earth is flat? Through logical deduction we can conclude that the number is VERY small. A tiny fraction of a percent. But for arguments sake lets say this is 1%. So now let's say that that the earth really is flat, and 99% of the world's engineers, astronomers, scientists, theologists, teachers, etc. have been duped, everything they know is wrong. Does this make any sense at all? If you go on the internet and search "how far can you see across the ocean", you will get all sorts of mathematical equations and answers, and all of them start with what they know: the earth is a sphere, the ocean is curved, and the math checks out. So now for this to suddenly be wrong, every text book and scholar has been wrong all along... how could that even be possible? Anyone with a hair of rational thought sees how preposterous this sounds. The millions of very smart people on the planet would surely be crying foul of the earth was indeed flat. The only way this makes sense is 1) this site is filled with trolls that get thrills from arguing, or 2) their head is in the sand because they can't possibly conceive that everything they have been taught from an early age is flat wrong. (pun intended)

Flat Earth General / NASA releases 8,400 never seen before photos
« on: October 05, 2015, 05:20:17 PM »
Do you think they photoshopped them all?

And before you ask, here is the answer to your first question: The exposure time for the image — it’s actually three images: red, green and blue — was too short for any stars to be seen. Earth and the Moon were bright enough that a short-duration exposure was all that was needed. The brighter an object is, the shorter the exposure time required to capture an image of it. It’s similar to why you don’t really see stars in Apollo photos from the moon – the subjects being photographed were so much brighter than the background stars that the exposures weren’t long enough to capture the stars.

Flat Earth General / What happens when...
« on: October 01, 2015, 08:59:35 PM »
... we finally achieve trips into space for common civilians? It is not a matter of if, but when. Maybe it will take another 50 years, who knows. But, lets assume we finally get there. Let's say you can take a six hour trip up into orbit and back as a pleasure cruise. And these people that take the flight can plainly see with their own eyes that the earth is indeed round. Would this put an end to the debate of FE vs RE? Or would there be some sort of conspiracy theory that every person taking a flight into space is somehow in on it, or is tricked into thinking so?

They would witness something like this (note this is time-lapse, orbit isn't really moving this fast):

And I really like the quote at the beginning of that video: "Humanity must rise above the earth, to the top of the atmosphere and beyond, for only then will we understand the world in which we live." -- Socrates 470-399 BC.
