Absolutely effing scary how people believe this shite but, each to their own fantasy, I suppose.
So, sceptimatic can't explain how a rocket can land back on the earth and that if course proves it false.
I have to hold my hands up and say, you're right, I do not know how they land a rocket back on Earth in an upright position.
Obviously you do because you're an expert and so is anyone who witnesses the footage.
OK, so I understand the basics, enough to know that it's quite possible, But, never have I claimed to understand all of it.
Understanding that it's not real. If only some people could/would , then they might actually just treat these rocket launches and landings to and from so called space as sci-fi.
That way it at least keeps everything meaningful, real and everything set out as fantasy but thrown out as real...as easily seen through.
You claim that you don't understand it, yet seem to claim that you have enough to know "Understanding that it's not real".
Do you understand: how aircraft engines work? how a mobile phone works? How a computer works? how the Internet works? how the an MRI machine works?
I could list hundreds of things that you and probably I do not understand, but are still very real.
Just because you or I do not understand something does not make it untrue, though I admit that it makes it much easier to believe.
There is a big difference here between most flat eathers and others.
When I see something that seems unbelievable, I do research on it, and if it does actually look feasible, I'll regard it as probably true.
Most flat earth's simply seem to disbelieve it outright and in many cases claim it as more evidence against the globe.
Of course a basic knowledge of physics and sometimes chemistry is necessary in order to know where to look for information and to evaluate it when you see it.
Of course, you will say that you use many of these things or have seen them working, but I find you attitude totally hypocritical.
It's OK for you to believe something because you have seen it working, but all these people who claim that rockets work and satellites are real are liars. Many of these have seen the launch and the landing.
I suspect that we could find up to millions of people that either work directly in the space industry, or are closely involved in the design, installation and servicing of equipment relying of satellite services. I include satellite TV and Internet connections installers and service people in this list.
I suppose all these people are liars too.
Yes, Mr Sceptimatic, I think that you and many like you are hypocrits of the first order.
You quite happily use all this technology, yet call so many involved in the research, development and design of it of dishonesty. Frankly, you sicken me.
