Experiment in space

So I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I don't know what the consensus amongst FE'ers is in regards to this video -

#ws" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NASA: Amazing Experiments with Water in Zero Gravity

So would anyone care to explain to me what you think is happening here?

astronauts don't exist, this is fake... because you know you can easily simulate things like monsters and stuff in computers... is what one of these dumb fucks would say to you because they don't believe in space and they think the earth is flat, lulz!

Aw buddy, a couple of more years when setup some civilian bases on the moon, fuck what will these dumb fucks say then?  awww the earth is still flat you see the windows have been altered to make the world look fat...

jajaja

It's fake, there are no Astronauts in space but when they set up moon bases and such, I shall be the first to tell the world I was wrong.
If only a time machine existed, I could go forward in time to maybe the year 9999 and see if they have managed to put a base on the moon but alas, I don't have, in my possession, a time machine, so it's just a waiting game.
A small tip: don't hold your breath.

Wow that's incredible, I've never seen that before. I didn't realise surface tension was so visible on such a large mass of water. That's really cool

I'm no expert with computer graphics, but this would have to be one of the most visually appealing games I've ever seen

I do remember that claim being made a while back. The flat Earth theory is more about seeing how far you can take a ridiculous idea, rather than trying to better humanity.

So... computer graphics? The international space station can be seen with a telescope, so I don't see how moon bases will sway you one bit. And yes, I'm not holding my breath for a moon base to be built any time soon.

Yeah, it is It's also pretty awesome that the little droplet bounces away from the left side of the water sphere when it's struck by the burst of air or water, just like here on Earth when you drop something into a still pond and you get that little droplet shooting upwards.

I think they filmed this on the space station or in one of those zero gravity planes or something.

If this film is real life, then I believe in the space station. Is this film real life?

Why would you believe a moon base that might exist some time in the future when you don't believe an orbiting space station that exists right now?

I don't believe a moon base will exist in the future, I just said "IF" it happened, then I would accept I'm wrong.
"IF" Santa could really do what we as kids thought he could, then I'll believe in Santa again.

Cause it makes it look like he has a threshold of proof that needs to be broken for him to believe anything he doesnt understand

Ahh, so you believe in the NASA conspiracy too then. Their computer animation artists have done a really good job of bringing that blob of water to life, haven't they?

Not too bad is it.

I won't believe people can dig holes deep into the Earth until they dig right through to the other side.

You didn't say "if", you said "when", but let's try this again.  "IF" someone puts a base on the moon, why would you believe that it's real when you don't believe that the orbiting space station that exists right now is real?

I suppose it depends on how anyone depicts what deep is. If I go to the swimming pool, I say, "let's go in the deep end."
If you want to dig to the other side of your round earth, then can you get any deeper than the centre?
Wouldn't digging to the other side become shallower, assuming you don't burn to death with that big liquid ball of iron swishing around mind you

Because I would have watched the Astronauts actually blast off, knowing they were inside the rocket and I would be watching them go into low earth orbit, so if they go to the moon from there, I will accept that.
Do you think I have a chance to see that?

Yes.

Yes.

Well, only time will tell on this one, won't it.

You had plenty of chances to watch astronauts in the space shuttle "actually blast off, knowing they were inside the rocket and I would be watching them go into low earth orbit", yet you claim that's all fake.  How would a moon shot be any different?

You would risk your life by going in the deep end? 

My point was that it's pretty ridiculous to claim that you'll only finally believe that we can go to the moon once moon bases are built on it.
Do you believe Antarctica exists? Because its existence and shape, as portrayed on a round Earth, completely debunks the flat Earth theory. Also, there are bases on the island, so you must believe it exists, right?

How can I watch Astronauts go into a shuttle and know they are actually inside on take off?
How can I watch anything go into low earth orbit, when all I ever see of rockets and shuttle is arcing a minute after lift off...why are they arcing like this?

It's because they don't go into space, they go into the ocean.

When you get in a plane that can go high enough so you can see Antarctica as displayed on the silly globe, then you can know it exists and not before...but you can believe it exists in your mind if you want to.

Bring a telescope!  I know you don't believe this but tickets usually fly in the direction of the rotation of the Earth because it reduces the escape velocity required.

It's because they don't go into space, they go into the ocean.

How will the shuttle go into orbit if it flies directly upwards?

Bring a telescope!  I know you don't believe this but tickets usually fly in the direction of the rotation of the Earth because it reduces the escape velocity required.

How much are the tickets?

Ooooh! So the moon bases won't convince you that we've been to the moon. You'll need to fly there to be convinced.

Bring a telescope!  I know you don't believe this but tickets usually fly in the direction of the rotation of the Earth because it reduces the escape velocity required.

Also, the shuttle launches happen close to the equator, because that's where the surface of the Earth is moving fastest due to its rotation.

No...
If I see the Astronauts get locked into their rocket and all exits are taken away, so I know they are really taking off, then I watch that rocket go into low earth orbit , then that will be enough for me to believe it all.

How can you get out of the atmosphere into orbit by going in an arc, it means you would be simply following the earths curve. You would not leave this earth by arcing if it was a globe, you would use up all your fule and plummet into the sea...

Oh wait..maybe that's what happens to the empty rockets.
