It Shows how easy it is to fake stuff doesn't it.

How many man and machine hours do you think the first shot of the showreel took to make ?

1000?

1000 man hours for a 2 seconds shot is "easy" ?
And we are in 2013. They did not have computers in 1969. They did not have any digital camera either.

I'm really interested in knowing the technology they are supposedly used to fake it back then.

From there, I will be able to explain you the closest "real" technique, how it works, and why it's not easy.

Yes, the video is only talking about the technical aspect.

The take off alone would have been a nightmare to fake in 1969.
And the take off only dismisses the entire flat earth theory.
How does a take off dismiss the flat earth theory?

Because leaving earth is theoretically impossible in FE theory ?
Leaving the earths crust isn't...but leaving the earths atmosphere is. Are you trying to tell me you believe they sent a rocket into space?

Where do you think it went?
Into the ocean where they all go.

By what route?
The bloody ocean route, what do you mean. what route.

They very clearly go into the air. What route do they take to go into the ocean?
Yes they go into the air and they go into the ocean, where the ocean is.

Air is up. Ocean is down. How high do they go that they go out of sight of everyone before they turn around?
You actually see them all arcing in the sky. Go and look at the real pictures. And no, I don't mean the fake Saturn V lift off ones where the sky goes black and blue on command.  ;)

It's going straight up. It's just bendy light making you think it's curved.

Are any of you aware that a reflective plates were placed on the moon by one of the moon missions which anyone can target with a sufficiently powerful laser and receive a return signal off of?

Doesn't that pretty definitively prove that we went there, which further disproves the whole flat earth thing?

Kintanon,

Welcome. You have severely missed the boat with your first post though. There are plenty of threads on just such a topic that the handy 'Search' features of these forums will reveal.

Ultimately though, no, you have no definitively proved anything. Prove we went to the moon, that the laser ranging experiment is possible and that it all corresponds to a model which is infallible (i.e, don't assume things based on a round earth model when that is not the accepted belief amongst those you are trying to persuade) and you will have a starting point.

You will quickly learn, if you stick around here, that posting evidence of experiments or claims that go against the Flat Earth model will generally result in dismissal based on lies, fabrication or simple impossibility, unless you can categorically and infallibly demonstrate it yourself. Even then, prepare to defend your stance against an onslaught of counter claims, evidence and proofs from proponents of the Flat Earth Theory.

I wish you luck, and welcome.

Sup, ZE_Pilot. I feel I should warn you about skeptimatic. Among the FE crowd, he is probably the least intelligent. Look up his post history. In the several thousands of posts he has made, he has not learned a single, I repeat, a single thing. He doesn't understand reference frames of motion, he thinks the Felix Baumgartner jump was faked, he thinks anything resembling a photo is fake....I could go on. Even the FE people encourage people to not respond to him.

He is either a classic troll...I think you know the other option. Also, Hoppy is a flat out troll.

I confirm that the time is not accurate Maryland, it is off by 2 hours and 10 minutes.

He frequently posts false or misleading information. He sometimes agrees with skeptimatic in a post, only so that post is riddled with more comments, making reading it impossibly difficult.
Regarding hoppy's comment, I believe the world clock is accurate if you are watching the sunset/sunrise from the coast. Otherwise, land mass will get in the way of the actual sunset. Also, elevation is important too.

Welcome again to the Flat Earth Society.

I'm new to this board, but I strongly believe the Felix Baumgartner jump was faked. Aside from the obvious, which you are missing, the earth is flat and to say otherwise is to venture down the path of folly.

Where is Felix Baumgartner now? Was there ever a post jump interview? None that I've seen. NASA, SETI, to name a few have perpetuated the hoax to such a degree that even these modern day "stunts" prove little other than how far we've come in creating science fiction for the masses.

so first you say you think its fake because their was no post jump interview.

then we show you a interview. so you then say that he is a trained actor and the footage is obviously fake? i think you might need to get your theory straight.

You don't expect anyone to believe that technology even exits, do you? You can scour the 4 corners of the internet and not find one piece of credible evidence that suggests we have the ability to launch a vehicle into space let alone send a man up to jump from above the stratosphere.

yeah, that part at 22 seconds does look animated but I don't think anyone was implying (no round earthers here or anyone who made the video) that that was supposed to be real footage. It is however... REAL footage of a post jump interview which is what you asked for.

Felix Baumgartner has give many interviews. He gave several just after his jump, and most recently in GQ just yesterday.

I'd post the links, but for some reason FES is not letting me. Do I smell a counter conspiracy? ??? (no I don't, conspiracy theories are for the weak minded).

EDIT: Here they are!


Obviously you have not even tried to look. Pathetic.

Well, when I say that, I mean, I know it will all fit with you, because you question absolutely nothing about anything, if it's deemed a conspiracy.

Why don't you try explaining what you think is wrong with them instead of telling people it's obvious and dancing around actually putting your points in words.  For example you could say "When you compare the suits, they look nearly identical after 50 years" (I haven't compared the suits yet so I don't actually know what does look different about them).

Well here's a little clue.
Felix goes up in a "pressurised" capsule.
Kittinger is a tough guy and uses none of that. He's just happy to go up in his suit inside a bloody glorified basket.
They think everyone is  stupid.

One would expect a modern capsule to be more technologically advanced than the first.  When you fly in an airplane, the cabin is pressurized, is there a problem with this?  If I'm not mistaken, Felix traveled higher than Kittinger, it would make sense that they would want to have him in a pressurized capsule.

Kittinger used a pressurized suit. So did Baumgartner. Baumgartner also enjoyed the benefit of a pressurized capsule, Kittinger did not.

So what? Honestly it's difficult to see what you're arguing about? What is the significance of the capsules being pressurized or not?

I also don't see why FE wants to claim it was faked. A guy went up in a balloon, jumped off and landed with a parachute. So friggin' what?

the part that they have a problem with is that it has footage of the earth being round. So anything that ever implies that must be fake because they think it's a fact that the earth is flat. That's reasoning I guess.

Staying on topic of these jumps. Haven't FE proponents numerous times brought up that the flat disk earth would seem round from above, or even if it's not disk-shaped but infinite or whatever it may seem circular due to bendy light, sun's spotlight illumination or something else. So, what I've been saying here is, why on whatever shape earth these jumps would be impossible? Again, it's a friggin' balloon going up and a guy jumping off then deploying a parachute. According to some that requires magic but so far there has been no explanation offered whatsoever why a high altitude jump is impossible or why these particular jumps must have been faked.
