How does all of this translate to the Russian debris ending up in Wisconsin without anyone witnessing anything?
Can we stay on topic, instead of running off on a tangent about the US and USSR saber-rattling?
You know all the museums with fake bigfoots?
How do you know the space junk is from sputniker? You don't.
So there you win, the satellite zoomed around above the dome for 2 years, then entered back thru the hole it made leaving for space and fell to earth in wisc. Ya happy now? NIGHT
The satellite zoomed around for two years? Thought you didn't believe in satellites.
How does one zoom around the dome, you know, while it's universally accelerating and all.
I vote we stop talking to J-man unless he's on-topic.
Also use the "Report to moderator" button (it's the grey "!" symbol to the left of the QUOTE button) when he goes too far off the rails.
The official TFES position is that there is no dome.
If there is a dome, then the stars and moon are (presumably) beneath it - and because you can clearly see the ISS going in front of the moon sometimes (you don't even need binoculars or a telescope) - it must be lower in altitude than the moon - and therefore *much* lower than J-man's "dome".
In fact, since the stars are the furthest thing we can see - and the dome is still further away - it doesn't change a thing. Hence we don't have to care about the stupid dome. It does not add to the discussion in any way. If you imagine the standard TFES flat earth with and without a dome - it doesn't make any difference at all to any of the arguments.
OK - can we stop talking about the dumb old dome for a while?
The physical evidence of the KS-3 impact is complicated. A piece of debris weighing about 20lbs smacked into the middle of a road in Manitowoc county. They dug it up and sent it to the Smithsonian institute. They talked to NASA and everyone suddenly recalled that there is an international treaty about this stuff. That treaty says that you give the debris back to the country that launched it - and they pay for damages.
Nobody particularly cared about the cost of repairing the road - but the USA was legally required to give the debris back to the Russians. They did so - and the Russians didn't particularly want it back. It was sent back to them anyway. Before they shipped it off, two replicas of the original debris were made (god knows why!) - one copy was sent to the leading Republican senator for Wisconsin - the other to the leading Democrat. Neither of them really wanted an ugly 20lb lump of metal - so they gave them away. What you see in the art gallery next to where the hole in the road was repaired is one of the replicas - the other ended up someplace else...I forget where for the moment.
Anyway - if you visit the site of the impact today - you see a brass ring set into the road where the satellite debris impacted, a little stone monument that says what this is by the side of the road - and a fake piece of Korably-Sputnik I in the museum nearby.
There are PLENTY of other bits of space junk that have fallen back to Earth...so it's hard to claim that satellites don't exist...added to which YOU CAN SEE THEM. Outer Space is just 60 miles above your head and satellites often orbit at just 100 miles. You can easily see light glinting off a shiny metal thing the size of a schoolbus from 60 miles away against a dark sky. Just find one of the many websites that'll tell you when and where to look and USE YOUR EYES.
