The all-new conspiracy theory!

you do not have a "vast body of evidence", tom; you have 2 books, which contradict every other book ever written!

Doesn't contradict Moby Dick.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! You fail Tom. Have you ever flown an f'ing Cesna, let alone a commercial plane? It's not a taxicab. Ask engy.

As much as it pains me to agree with Tom, I feel the same way.  Sure flying is fun and requires a crapload of skill and knowledge, but pilots are really nothing more than glorified bus drivers.  Except fighter pilots.  They are full of win.

So no-one has an answer?

There isn't a FE map

But it is concentric. You do have mockups without scales, right? I've seen em. And the tropics are concentric. Which means south of the equator, the distance is wider. Much wider. Oh, and flight tracking? Here.

If NASA has never been to space and simply fakes their data to win the space race/get funding/maintain the illusion of America's militaristic domination of space, then how would they know that the earth is flat?

Anyone even slightly familiar with the Space Race knows that NASA created in the 50's by the military to get its tools of death and destruction (ICBM's) in the public eye and to intimidate foreign nations with America's space capabilities. A country with a space program, or at least the appearance of one, is a considerable foe indeed.

I'm wondering what line of thinking went into your flip-flop from being absolutely positive that a conspiracy with the purpose of covering up the shape of the earth to being absolutely positive that the conspiracy is only over the space race and the conspirators know nothing about the shape of the earth.

I've never said that the purpose of the Conspiracy was to cover up the shape of the earth. Why would anyone want to cover up the shape of the earth? That's stupid.

Over a century before NASA the Round Earth Conspiracy was perpetuated by the Royal Astronomical Society. It began as the Astronomical Society of London in 1820 as a dummy organization to support astronomical research. It later became the Royal Astronomical Society in 1831 on receiving its Royal Charter from William IV.

The Royal Astronomical Society was a notoriously corrupt entity, often abusing science grants to produce round earth fiction. It's members were among the upperclass elite, most of whom had little in the way of educated backgrounds. The content presented by the Royal Astronomical Society was pure fiction, full of holes and fallacies.

The Royal Astronomical Society benefited financially from royal science grants and sales of its fictitious publications. In its time, the fame of the Royal Astronomical Society reached all parts of the world. Its scientific publications were known for breaking new ground and entertaining the public with descriptions of the universe. By latching onto the then radical Round Earth theory, the Royal Astronomical Society was able to inspire wonder and interest in its unique publications which seemed to describe how gravity worked and the true shape of the earth.

Only the US operates at altitudes necessary to discern whether or not the earth is truly a globe.

Actually, since the turn of the 20th century, it wasn't uncommon for Antarctic explorers to turn up dead or missing.

Robert F. Scott, for example, was murdered while exploring Antarctica.

3. So, they noticed the delay, and were so stupid that they didn't report it in, and didn't realize the implications of this? They didn't get confused? They didn't think what on Earth was going on? The people who picked them up from the airport never realized that being 20 hours late was horrible?

Okay.  Here's where you say the conspiracy started long before the space race:

The prediction thinks that the travel time should take twice as long as it is.

Fshy I found Rowbot's map

I'm sure they realized the delay. But what are they going to do, call the presses and change the shape of the earth?

Before the 50's NASA existed as the RAS. Just because they were faking data and collecting science grants back then, it doesn't mean that they knew the true shape of the earth.

How would they?

Look, have you ever heard of speed * time = distance? OK, planes travel at 500 MPH. Now, the distance on an RE is at least 4000 miles shorter. The prediction is made on RE, so they predict say....10 hour flight. Now, FE predicts 18 hours. Flights usually arrive within 1 hour of the estimated time. What can you deduce from this, retard?

Look, idiot, like I said before, its not a f'ing delay. According to the FE model, THERE CAN BE NO FLIGHTS WHICH ARRIVE ON TIME???!?!?!?!? Do you get it now, you blasted idiot?!?!

The website I gave you  You're far too predictable. Previous page. Allow me to say it before you...conspiracy
