How could flat earth conspiracists possibly explain THIS?

doesnt look photoshopped to me...

The best fakes never do.

This photo doesn't show anything that would contradict FE.  Unless I am missing the curvature of the Earth in the photo.

more evidence that space flight is indeed possible, and the Earth is planar.
thank you for sharing.

True, all it does is prove space flight is real. And there would be no noticeable curvature in the photo anyway, the field of view is too small and the angle too vertical to show any, which is why this statement...

more evidence...the Earth is planar.

...is just ignorant.

I thought you didn't believe the earth was flat? Or am I misconstruing what you wrote or completely missing the satire?

Another retarted troll! We should observe it while it remains in its natural environment! Take pictures!

How do you know it's in space opposed to the upper atmosphere?

How do you know it's in space opposed to the upper atmosphere?

The uppermost regions of the atmosphere (thermosphere and exosphere) are considered to be space, so, technically, it's both.

Yeah but the debate is not about whether it is in space or not, its about whether or not it is using the atmosphere to keep itself afloat, as opposed to the very odd idea that the "spacecraft is endlessly falling around the earth.  Due to the ludicrous nature of the second idea, ill stick with the first, that or it is photo shopped.

Let's examine the first option. Can you please give an estimate of the altitude and the corresponding air density ?

How is he supposed to estimate the altitude based on a picture without anything really to use for reference?

Why is the idea of constantly falling over the edge of the earth (orbit) so ludicrous?  Newton conceived the principle almost 300 years ago, and assuming that you believe in a round earth and gravity, it's really quite simple and intuitive.

I never knew that NASA was created by Newton. It's amazing that the US space agency was created long before the US was.  Fascinating!

Are you not assuming the exact opposite?  Where is your evidence that it is flying at thousands of miles per hour?

Why does the age of an idea give it more weight?  You only have to believe that everything has pulls on one another, well that's a big leap.

You said this may be a floating object, so please go further and explain why and how.

I am simply picking the option of the two that seems to make more sense to me.  This, like all other things with wings that I see in the sky, is simply an airplane at very high altitudes.

Why do I need to propose and an altitude?  Do I need to prove that superman is not underneath the shuttle holding it up?  Of course not.  There is simply no way for me to know the altitude from this photo alone, its unreasonable to expect me to provide an altitude.

Going even further, even if this was taken beyond where planes can typically fly, they could have used rockets to achieve that altitude temporarily, in know way does this photo indicate that sustained orbit was achieved.  Without showing any sort of curvature this photo does nothing to support either FET or RET.

Why do you need all this drama to say that this picture is cool but inconclusive ?
BTW I agree.

more evidence that space flight is indeed possible, and the Earth is planar.
thank you for sharing.

This photo doesn't show anything that would contradict FE.  Unless I am missing the curvature of the Earth in the photo.

So one time space flight is possible, the other time is not...let me guess. If it is a shot taken straight down towards earth and it shows up as flat to the camera. It is 100% true. Space shuttle is real, earth is real, picture is not photoshopped...it's a genuine picture.

Then, a picture from space flight showing the curvature...or no...let's first talk about space flight in general. It is disputed, NASA is 100% fake, space flight is not possible, certainly not the ISS which in fact can be seen from earth. Read that again. Can be seen (!!) from Earth...c-a-n  b-e  s-e-e-n  f-r-o-m  E-a-r-t-h (!!)

But no no, it's just one big institution for liars. And then these thousands of pictures of earth, depicting a round earth. Even an earth rotating, clearly seen as a sphere. Oh my gosh, that is like THE biggest lie. Or at least if the photo is real, all sort of bendy stuff, totally unknown, totally unexplainable stuff going on. Yeah totally, it is like.....yeah it is that...totally bendy stuff...some stuff...you know...I don't know...well you know...

And then again, you take the picture taken straight down depicting a 'flat' earth as real, without any doubt.

I am glad I got a healthy sense.
