Is space travel theoretically impossible?

Flat earth theory depends on the claim that no one has ever traveled to space, since if space travel were accepted, flat earthers would have to admit that at least some of photos taken from those spacecraft demonstrate that the earth is round.

I would like to know which of the following is the flat earth theory about space travel:

A) Launching a rocket is theoretically impossible because it would violate physical law X.  (Please state what X is.)
B) Launching a rocket is theoretically possible, but no country or corporation has done it because it's too expensive.
C) Launching a rocket is theoretically possible, but no country or corporation has done it because they can't figure out how.

(Note to moderator: this question is intended to start a debate, so please leave it in the Debate forum.)

All they will do is try to say that the pictures are fake by using an unreliable "digital editor analyzer". And thermometer even said to someone that the "digital editor analyzer" was unreliable, but used it to try to debunk a picture of Earth.

A) Launching a rocket doesn't violate any laws.
B) NASA is the word. They have many space shuttles.
C) The same as B

And jroa even said to someone that the "digital editor analyzer" was unreliable, but used it to try to debunk a picture of Earth. Or was it thermometer? I forgot.

You are mixing me up with th3rm0m3t3r0.

Ok fixed

space travel,,,

Why would you think that there is some space out there,

space travel,,,

Why would you think that there is some space out there,

Why? Well, the Sun, galaxies, stars. Think again about it.

Why would you think that there is some space out there,

Are you suggesting it is all solid?

I just said it. Sun, stars, galaxies, planets, etc. That is why. Now tell us why you think there isn't any space.

I don't think that space travel is out of out reach, but it will be very hard to outrun the movement of the earth.

I don't think that space travel is out of out reach, but it will be very hard to outrun the movement of the earth.

Airplanes are able to "outrun the movement of the earth" (whatever that means).  Why would it be different with rockets?

I don't think that space travel is out of out reach, but it will be very hard to outrun the movement of the earth.

We don't need to "Outrun the Earth" we just need to go out of it. What you said does not make sense.

Strangely enough, it's the "movement" of the earth that's used to help the launch of spacecraft. 

The scientific name for that " movement" is rotation.  And that's why rockets are always lunched launched in the same direction as the earth is rotating.  It's often mistakenly called the "slingshot effect" but that's really a misnomer.  It's more correctly termed "gravity" assist, but the flat earthers don't accept the theory of gravity itself, so I can see some... uh... issues with my explanation.

EDIT: funny typo fixed courtesy neimoka  (and with zero help from my spell checker.  "lunched" WTF?)

Maybe that's the reason why you will never do anything amazing with your life, you believe too much what you read, just like those bible followers...

rockets are always lunched

This must be some Kerbal Space Program tactic

What is the difference between "blindly" following what you read and "blindly" ignoring what you read?

Again, none of the FE'ers actually try to answer the question.  They simply avoid it with another question, or point out something trivial and/or non relevant thing that someone (who's actually making sense with facts) said and start to deviate the conversation that way.  I'm surprised that none of them have tried to run for political office.  This is the exact same tactic that politicians have been using since politics started.  Thank Thor that none of them have ran for office and actually won.  Can you imagine the implications to our school system if this actually happened!?!?!

Very accurate observation.  None of the flat earthers has yet appropriately addressed the OP's questions, so I'll repeat then here, and hope that one of them can give us some sensible responses regarding launching rockets into space:

A)  Launching a rocket is theoretically impossible because it would violate physical law X.  (Please state what X is.)
B)  Launching a rocket is theoretically possible, but no country or corporation has done it because it's too expensive.
C)  Launching a rocket is theoretically possible, but no country or corporation has done it because they can't figure out how.

—And please flat earthers; NO rhetoric and/or snide insults.

Launching a rocket, in to space ,,    Could it be that there is no,,  so called' outer-space,

Yes, it could. But you know what? There is ZERO evidence for it, with plenty of stuff consistently suggesting the opposite.

In my opinion, space travel is possible as long as you have a large enough supply of fuel.  Sustained space flight, on the other hand, is not possible.

Why don't you think it is possible?

Because the Earth is flat, so orbit is not possible and unless you are constantly accelerating, the Earth would eventually catch up with you.

Where did I refer to orbit?  We were talking about space flight, not orbit.

and unless you are constantly accelerating, the Earth would eventually catch up with you.

Wait..wot?  But it doesn't catch up with hot air balloons or aircraft or seagulls?  Why aren't we catching up with the moon and the sun?

Then why doesn't the earth catch up to the sun and moon?  If natural satellites (celestial bodies) can ride aetherific waves and eddies, then why can't man made satellites do the same?
