Space travel cannot be faked
« on: March 27, 2019, 08:41:39 AM »
I am aware that flat earthers believe that space travel is a vast conspiracy put on by NASA and other agencies and governments, but there is too much that supports the idea. There are satellites and the ISS that can be seen from Earth, there are livestreams and videos and pictures, and of course there are the people. There are astronauts and cosmonauts and even ordinary people, from space tourists to those taken by aliens, who continually profess and swear to the fact that they were in space. Many of these people are not aligned, and particularly the latter group are wholly independent of the government so what reason would they have to lie? The simple existence of UFOs which many people can attest to and have personal, zetetic experience of makes it clear that space travel does in fact exist because how else could they make it to our world from other planets? The evidence for space travel is simply too vast and overwhelming, and the evidence for a conspiracy far too thin and lacking. Nothing could ever persuade all these people to lie so often and for so long and never let anything slip. The government agencies are not the only ones who have been to space, and many countries with terrible relationships nevertheless agree that they have achieved some degree of space travel. Mankind must have been to space, and because of this the images we have from space, universally a round earth, must be accurate.

How do you think government secrets are kept?

Why does the existence of these images somehow make them accurate? Is it not possible that a flat earth in curved space would indeed appear curved?

He's making up aliens and you're making up baloney.

What a great kickoff for this thread!

That depends entirely upon what you mean by "Flat Earth" when it is in curved space, and what your curved space is doing.

The simple existence of UFOs which many people can attest to and have personal, zetetic experience of

UFOs? Like, 747s seen at night through clouds? Balloons, birds lit by street lights and Venus? Experimental aircraft and rockets shedding their first stage?
The Universal Accelerator is a constant farce.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

From the FAQ - "In general, we at the Flat Earth Society do not lend much credibility to photographic evidence."

Space missions are no longer just "governments" and especially not one government.

There are some 72 governments now with their own satellites with about 12 with launch capability, including Iran, Israel, China and North Korea.

Then there are numerous "private" companies with satellite launch capability.

So, I fail to see how  space missions can be faked or why anyone would want to.

Just because an object is flying and unidentified doesn't mean it's from another planet.

Really? Why would anyone take any notice of your baseless hypotheses? All you did was post a hypothetical question.
Is it not possible that a flat earth in curved space would indeed appear curved?

Not only does the earth look "curved" but it also appears to be a rotating spherical object.


Your "curved space" does have some very interesting properties.

What about some evidence because there are plenty of photos from sources other than NASA or even the USA.
Some show the earth and moon from near the moon and thousands are from far enough away to show almost a whole hemisphere.

And you earlier said this:
They aren't faked. We are mistaken.

So which is it?

I couldn't even imagine what kind of mental gymnastics one must perform to justify anything causing "this sort of thing."

For one, the moon is traveling tangental to the surface of the earth. Let alone it being shadowed by some magic invisible object when entering and exiting the frame.

So which is it?
Obviously, not every single picture a child finger paints of a globe is legitimate representation. Yet most I'd wager do a fair job better than this. I have no doubt many, if not most, images of the earth are faked. Probably not for any real reason other than marketing and design. Mr Blue Marble certainly states he stitches together his Blue Marble.

No, if that was the case it would have passed through Earth.
It may be travelling parallel to a tangent, but that doesn't mean it is a tangent. And remember, a small section of a sufficiently large circle will look like a straight line.

Let alone it being shadowed by some magic invisible object when entering and exiting the frame.
So if something isn't in your vision, such as if it is behind you, it is being shadowed by some magic invisible object?

What are you talking about?
What is this "traveling tangental to the surface of the earth"?
I don't see the moon being "shadowed by some magic invisible object when entering and exiting the frame" but
I do see the effect of taking the exposures sequentially through the colour filters.

Well for anyone not taken in by the "fake NASA" conspiracy, this image produced from multiple images taken by the DISCOVR spacecraft, all by itself, removes any question that the earth is a spinning globe.
