It is simple. Find a cartographer, ask him to correctly map the earth pay him from wealth gained from changing everything everyone has ever known. Kick back and relax
How long would it take a single cartographer to do this? Is he or she supposed to work for free until the job is done? It really isn't that simple, and you know it.
You know how the world of business works don't you know? You get some quotes for the job, employ a firm then when they deliver you pay. It's like when you go to work and they pay you at the end of the month/week, they don't pay you every monday or before you've worked do they?
As a matter of fact, I do know how the world of business works. However, it is clear that you do not. To undertake a project such as this requires capital. You have to have money up front, period. It is nothing like getting paid on a regular basis from a 9-5 job. You have to secure capital before you can do anything. To secure capital funding, you need investors. To get investors, you have to present a business plan with a clear ROI. Saying that you will make a million dollars on a Nobel prize sometime in the future is not a business plan. The project would have capital expenses up front, and operating expenses over the duration of the project. If you want me to explain more to you how actual business projects work, let me know, I would be happy to.
I'm sorry but i think you're confusing the creation of some sort of Flat Earth Inc. with going to a cartography shop and asking them to provide you with a map. Whyever do you think you'd need a business plan and capital to employ someones services?
Do you understand the scope of a project such as this? No one is going to do this much work with nothing more than a promise of eventually being paid, especially when there is no clear source of revenue. You have to have capital, period. If you don't understand that, then there isn't much more to talk about.
Ok so let's do it your way.
The world will always be flat so it actually doesn't matter when the map gets made. Why don't you guys start saving up in some sort of trust? Then in 10 20 30 years you can get the map made?
Also, if there is enough interest in this project, maybe there will be many readers from outside the FES who will volunteer their services. Forget about the money. Start a "Flat Earth Society Map" fund raising project as on PBS. That is : "From viewers like you .... Thank you "
"With your $50 donation you will get a copy of the new FE Map.
With your $150 donation you will get a copy of the new FE Map Atlas
With your $200 donation you will get a copy of the Map and the Atlas.
With your $250 donation you will get a copy of the Map, The Atlas and a copy of the book "The Earth Not A Globe."
Just a friendly suggestion from an outsider.
I would have to decline. I have no expertise in this field and I am afraid I would be of little assistance on making the map.
PS. Sorry about at that reference to PBS. Obviously PBS is also part of the Conspiracy with their programs like NOVA, etc.
As to the use of the sextant, this is one FE's view of the instrument.:
http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php/topic,57396.msg1444599.html#msg1444599"Invented in 1731, the sextant is to my mind is a device of deception. Its name reeks of satire and one of my associates stated that it was created as a joke by the organization. I was skeptical of this device upon hearing its vile name, in time I will show why it is a device of deception and dishonor."
