No it isn't. You have to have been living under a rock for quite some time to honestly think that.
Sadly it is more or less historical fact.
No, it isn't.
Again, that would only be the case if you have been living under a rock for over 50 years.
The purpose of rocketry has changed significantly.
It is no longer merely about bombing people but also about putting things into space, and even just a hobby.
the idealistic or scientific endeavor you might imagine it was.
Where did I ever suggest anything like that?
I objected to you claiming bombing people is the express purpose of rocketry and always has been.
That implies it still currently is, that the purpose of rocketry today is bombing people. And that simply is not the case.
It is used for far more than that. It has a far broader purpose.
But none of that needs NASA and pretending Earth is round if it was actually flat.
Agreed. I don't typically encounter the claim that NASA is doing that from flat earth researchers, but from globe earth proponents who misunderstand/presume.
You mean who correctly understand and see through the FE BS?
The sheer scale of what they are doing would require them to know the shape of Earth, which means they must be involved in hiding the shape.
So yes, it would mean that they are pretending Earth is round.
It also makes no sense from a funding point of view, especially with so much money in the black budget, and all the money that would be wasted on faking it.
You could easily take the scientists and put them on top-secret projects to develop rockets.
Also agreed, though it would be best to "double dip" as it were - don't you think? As long as we are building rockets for "peaceful exploration", then we are happy to give the military contractors more money to build weapons (gravy on top of the criminal amounts diverted/stolen for black projects).
Only if it is real. If it is all fake, it makes no sense at all. It is just a massive waste of money.
