I can't get my head round this... So I have questions

I have read through most of the wiki page but it leaves me with more questions than answers.
So here goes... I look forward to your response.

1. What is the motivation behind the space travel conspiracy?
2. Why would ALL space faring nations / agencies share the same motivation for conspiracy?
3. From all of these agencies, organisations and individuals do you not think that ONE, just ONE scientist would have come forward with real scientific evidence that supported FE? Something that would blow the lid off the whole 'conspiracy' and make him/her the most famous scientist of all time. Also consider the newer private / amateur space explorers.
4. If all other planets, stars, celestial bodies are spheres why is the earth flat?
5. If all other stars are observable and independently measurable as massive objects. Why is the Sun only 32 miles wide?
6. Are these beliefs based upon a religious faith?
7. If there is a great ice wall / mountain range. And water clearly erodes rock and ice. Surely the mountain range would have eroded at some point by now. Why has it not?
8. If the mars rovers are also a conspiracy where are they staged? A part of earth? Surely someone somewhere would be able to track down the same spot, photograph it and again blow it open and become truly infamous. Why not an FE believer? You obviously have the motivation.
9. Again on the mars rovers. If they are staged... where is all the vegetation?
10. Having watched pretty much EVERY big budget sci-fi film of the last 30 years I have yet to see any special effects/CGI that comes close to what NASA shows us from satellites and the ISS. Who creates these videos, what is there motivation and why can't the best and brightest of Hollywood match it?

I have more but I think this is enough to get started on.
Thanks for your time.

Welcome Mexicanwave, may I suggest that you ask your questions one at a time. If you rapid fire 10 questions at us, you're most likely going to get 10 short responses back. Even if someone takes the time to answer you questions in detail, can you imagine the train wreck of a thread it would be to try and hold 10 different topics all right here? My advice is to take your most pressing question and ask it in a new thread. Pace the rest of your questions out for maximum answerability. Good hunting.

Check this website.

I took a look at the site you cited (Excuse my redundancy) and it is in clear contradiction with most of the FE society's beliefs. I'm not sure I understand the point of posting the link. Mexicanwave and I share many of the same questions. I would also like to ask if satellites are another conspiracy and if so, how can any of the things we use them for on a day to day basis (ie cellphones, xm radio, GPS) function?

I also looked at the site link. It suggest all kind of space conspiracies... but none really in line with FE thinking.

Also, with regards to posting multiple questions. I would be happy for people to answer 1 or more questions. They don't need to answer all 10. Though given some of the very simplistic answers I have seen on other threads, and the fact that I can pose a question in one or two sentences, I expect that FE believers can in turn answer in one or two sentences.

At least with the hope of further debate on said point.

Fact is, these are my questions and I would LOVE to hear some answers.

Thanks

Come to think of it... I think I will split this up a bit and create some new threads. May garner a better response than this thread has...

Avedis... keep an eye out and come and join in. Hopefully we can get some answers to our shared questions.

You started a new thread asking 5 questions, instead of 10.

Not if you are asking 5 questions all in the one thread.

Eh... the 5 questions are pretty closely connected. I didn't think it would be too much work for an FE'r to get their head round.

Would it help if I took the 1-5 numbers out and made it one paragraph of questions within a topic. Will this adhere to your 'laws of intelligence'?

At this point it is better to probably let this thread die as you seem to have split your posts up again, and again. Please note I have responded to these questions now in those other posts.
