@your first two replies: I am not arguing that the Earth is flat. I am arguing that it is possible. So, when you say neither of us can prove anything, you're basically right. I was just saying that acquiring proof may be extremely difficult. But, if the FEers are right, it'd be more difficult for them to prove it. If the REers are right, the government has nothing to hide, so proof shouldn't be hard to come by. If the FEers are right, they've got a conspiracy holding them down, making their job for proof a lot harder.
@why would I let money come between me and the truth: Well, first off, if they were bribing me, I'd already have the truth. And if I turned down they're bribe, they might have other means of silencing me. I mean, the government, in this day and age especially, can easily label someone as a terrorist and say "they infiltrated the government and went for assassination, we had to kill them!" I'd be silenced then and dead, whereas I could be silenced and wealthy. I'd take the bribe.
I'd like to note something in this discussion. Zero G simulators don't exist. The only way to simulate zero G is to be in freefall, and, as Jimbo and I calculated independently, you have a little over 2 minutes of freefall time before you crash. Therefore, the only way to get an astronaut into a zero G environment for longer is to be in orbit.
Well, theoretically, it is possible to fly into outer space but not sustain it, and then you might experience freefall for longer. But that's beside the point. They're drugged. Who knows what sort of hallucinations they experience. Hell, they could just be drugged in a way that alters their memories, and really, they never did anything at all.
