Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
The entire flat earth meme was started by a think tank at Harvard as an experiment to see just how dumb and gullible people can be.

They injected the notion into social media to see how many fools would actually believe something so ridiculous.

It also serves to discredit those of us who actually do analysis of truth. So in a way, flat earth proponents are traitors, unwitting or not, by serving to harm actual enlightened people.

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
I'll tell you the god's honest truth. I really stand without bias. I looked at the title of this post and I watched the video in its entirety. There was absolutely nothin in there visually that proved to me the Earth was a Sphere. What I perceived is something we have never been taught about.. perhaps don't have the intelligence to understand. I thin because you can explain what the Earth is to children that's what makes it so absurd for an adult to admit he doesn't know. But I'm being 100 percent serious with you guys, this video doesn't prove anything other than the Earth is something we've never been properly taught about. But that's an entirely different conversation to be had. Not going to read comments or be influenced by anyone's scientific or emotional proof - but I am still looking forward to the day that i see some sort of video footage that proves to me personally the Earth is just a regular somewhat pear-shaped floating terrarium. Everything in space looks fake. I was interested in rocketry as a child and became and engineer.. I learned the dependency factor of fuel burning fire and the amount of oxygen it needs, i analyzed how a rocket boosting off of atmosphere can propel itself forward and tested for that.. but in space where it is suppose to be a true Vacuum, there is no OXYGEN FOR THE FIRES OF A COMBUSTABLE ENGINE ROCKET TO USE AS IGNITION/propulsion, and with no atmosphere there is no way to push an abject of such large density forward with rockets if there is nothing to burn.. and nothing to burn and travel great distances. When I watched the Truman show and later the matrix, I finally understood the nature of reality and that science is a false religion unto itself that has caused tremendous suffering and loss of life.

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
I guess the people saying a fish eye lens can't do straight lines really are just that stupid. Look at the beginning of the video where the rocket is launching. Horizon starts flat. If empiricism is your enemy you're going to fall behind the curve.

That's not all though. If the WIDE ANGLE lens (not fish eye, the distortion is a factor of compressing the data into a viewable square) couldn't do straight lines then why is stuff close to the lens straight? You people will do anything and make any critique in order to dismiss anything that challenges your paradigm.
 Quoting: Praetor of Olea


How come a wide angle lens at lower altitude (release point) captures the horizon as flat, and later shows the horizon as a curve of a sphere at the top of the ascent?

If everything stays at the same focus that is impossible unless the camera is actually showing the curvature of the earth.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78461140


Rocket motors always push against the most solid object, the rocket body and most rockets motors designed to go into space have their own oxygen source.

Even the cheapest bottle rocket can be shot underwater because it has it's own oxygen as part of the propellent in the motor.



I find it incredible that you give the Truman show and the Matrix more scientific credit than decades of space exploration and centuries of scientific study of this planet, are you that easily fooled by those behind the entertainment industry?

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
right but the amount of oxygen you can incorporate with the fuel is so minuscule mathematically it should be impossible to get to the moon and make a return trip.Has to be one of the reason the coolest idea of exploration got completely shut down 60 years ago.. and we've done just about dick all since the Kubrick filmed moon landing.. which look like aluminum foil butt fudge being exploded at a 4th of July party.. The astronauts weren't even excited when they had to do press conferences upon their return. they acted like they all got diagnosed with prostate cancer.. not achieved one of the most thrilling feats that mankind has ever achieved. and the moon buggies made of Reynolds wrap foil? I think they said cost 5 billion dollars to make. A sucker born everyday.

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
Here's just 1 example why FE is pure BS.

Know empirical distance of New York City to Paris is 3625 miles.


Know empirical distance of Melbourne to Auckland 1621 miles.

If NYC to Paris is 3625 miles, then on a FE map it Melbourne to Auckland would be 4000+ miles.

There is absolutely no FE material that is used by real world transportation or navigation systems. ZERO!


:FEmapMelAkl:




FEers never give a remotely credible explanation. NEVER!
