Distance between Earth and Mars

15 km ? Are you serious ?  That is only about 9 miles ? LOL

In the words of the Grand Master himself:

A single photograph is enough to shatter any RE illusions:

(Fred Bruenjes, Antarctica, 2003)
No 384,000 km between the Moon and the Earth, not by a long shot.

The Moon and Sun both orbit at an altitude of some 15 km above the Earth.

Might I suggest that someone is a little lacking in the perception of perspective?

If Mercury, Venus and Mars are at the same altitude as the Moon and the Sun , what are their sizes and why do we not see them  in relative to their sizes as we see the Moon and the Sun with the naked eye ?  (All those planets are at the same altitude ? Now really ! )

I will admit  I would have to do a bit more "flat Earth research" , but I read somewhere that one FE said  (about the planets )"they are mighty small ! "
Another FE said "  the earth  is not a planet. '' and still another FE said ''  planets do not exist. ''

Is it any wonder   (that at least for myself  ) why with all this nonsense and a complete lack of reality why one anyone would believe that the earth was some kind of a flat disc ? Or is it just me or do any other "Round Earthers  " have the same thoughts ?

Ask the Flat Earth Sultan and Flat Earth Scientist (AKA sandokhan) any curly questions like that.
You must remember that he's the author of the "New Radical Chronology of History" and that "FET is a subset of a larger topic: the new radical chronology of history."
This is presented in great detail in Advanced Flat Earth Theory» but beware, Here be Dragons!

Off topic . :
Here be Dragons indeed !
But  as I type this I am midst of Dragons, as I sit here in Southlake, Texas ,the home of the Southlake Carroll High School Dragons , that is !    LOL

OK Sandokhan. !...You must be the source of all information .?...Please tell us where you got your information on the altitudes of  Mercury ,  Venus  and Mars ?
I get a lot of my information from McDonald Observatory , located  atop Mount Locke , near Fort Davis , in the western part of the State of Texas  in the United States of America . Their information is a bit different from yours. Would you say they are liars and just one more part of the Great Conspiracy of Satanists and Satan Worshippers ?

Incidentally , McDonald is an interesting place to visit. Been there. Done that. Be sure to take in one of their nightly Star Party programs. They can '' show  and tell '' you all about the Moon, the Sun and all the planets . While you're there , ask them about their information on the altitudes of the Sun , the Moon, Mercury , Venus and Mars. Compare them with Sandokhan's .
(Correction : I listed this as " Sky Parties " . It should be " Star Party ")

OK Sandokhan. !...You must be the source of all information .?...Please tell us where you got your information on the altitudes of  Mercury ,  Venus  and Mars ?

That's easy! "Everybody " knows that the sun, moon, planets and stars a all about the same distance above the earth.

The Grand Master himself just glanced at the photo below and deduced that "The Moon and Sun both orbit at an altitude of some 15 km above the Earth.". That's the short version.

There are numerous other photos of the ISS, the space shuttle, Atlantis, and an aeroplane transiting the sun etc.

Sandokhan probably agrees that "they are liars and just one more part of the Great Conspiracy".
I've never, however, read of him accusing any of being "Satanists and Satan Worshippers".

But I challenge you to read a significant portion of his Advanced Flat Earth Theory which includes his Radical Chronology.

Thank you.

The part about Satanists and Satan Worshippers was posted by some  other FE and was directed mainly at NASA  (which is an anagram for SATAN ) for use of " pagan God's " such as in Apollo , and to astronomers for the names of planets such as Mercury , Venus and Mars.

I have just skimmed and scanned over some of Sandokhan's works .I will have to do a bit more examination of it. What I did read seemed a bit "  far out  ".

Just as a post script to this thread.
After many pages and many posts after many requests for information on another thread on how  Flat Earth measured the distance from the earth to the moon as 15 KM , there were no responses from FE, so the moderator locked the thread.
I would not be surprised if this thread suffers the same treatment .
FE can't answer the questions  so they shut down the discussion.
See the thread on how Amateur  Radio Operators estimated the distance from the Earth to the Moon in "Operation Moon Bounce" .

You do have a knack for understatement with your "What I did read seemed a bit 'far out ' ".

What I find so amusing is that a couple of Greeks came with a reasonable estimate of the earth-moon distance over 2000 years ago and flat-earthers still can't decide. 

The Moon's Distance
Aristarchus around 270 BC derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse (Hipparchus later found an independent method).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
From this Aristarchus obtained
            R/r     ~     60
which fits the average distance of the Moon accepted today, 60 Earth radii.
