Meanwhile, we know that satellites provide us with communications, and have done for many years.
You have yet to substantiate that.

Why is it that RE'ers are obligated to show why FET doesn't work but FE'ers aren't obligated show why FET does work?  Seriously, how can Inquisitive properly refute Thork's ionospheric skip proposal when Thork did not provide a workable proposal to refute?
He can't, and I'm not asking for that. I'm asking that he substantiates his own claims. Thork at least made a sloppy attempt.
What claims have I made that need substantiating?
I've done a pretty good job when it comes to quoting the claims while making requests. In fact, the very post you've quoted features two of those. I made them bold and pink for your convenience.

Do you really doubt that satellites exist?  What do dishes point at, measure the angles to find the source.  Talk to people in the industry.

Why, why, why are you so reluctant to just back your claim up? Two can play that game, you know.

*ahem*

The Earth is hollow and we've known that for ages. Just look at satellite dishes, measure where they point. Talk to people in tinfoil hats. Also, your claims about satellites are untrue because of simple maths and set theory. Simple physics tells us that you must be wrong. Please explain how satellites have enough fuel to keep flying around the Earth.

This is what your posts look like. They include empty claims with no substantiation at all, pretend to refer to "basic" and "simple" stuff (but never in any specific way), and claim that others said what they didn't say. Do you understand how worthless that is in a discussion?

So what would back up the claim or facts from millions who understand how they work, plus those who design and build them, are they wrong?

Perhaps Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement will be of some use to you.



Currently, you alternate between "responding to tone" and "contradiction", introducing an occasional straw man along the way. For people to start taking you seriously, you'd have to bump it up to "counterargument" or "refuation".

Very importantly, saying "millions of people believe/know it" is not a valid argument in this case. It's a common logical fallacy known as argumentum ad populum. The popularity of an idea does not say anything about its truth value.

The existance of satellutes is not an idea, it is fact.

How does your satellite tv service work?

Then it should be very easy to prove, and I encourage you to do so.

Not much can be said about that, given that my satellite TV service doesn't exist.

I suggest you refer to documents published by members of respected professional institutions and other organisations.  You could also contact the many companies in the industry to understand their products.

Have you seen how GPS works, which shows both US and Russian satellites?

I give up. There's no point in trying to teach you proper debate if you're not willing to even try. Off to the ignore list you go.

There is not a lot to debate, nobody has explained an alternative.

Clearly GPS works according to all published documentation.  I see they will be using GPS to establish the location of possible plane wreakage 1500 miles from Australia.

for that part about how the satellites keep running well have you ever done the thing where you swing a bucket fall of water around and the water stays in the bucket instead of falling out, well its sort of like that concept but replicated with space. oh and you should all play kerbal space program gives you a great idea on how round earth theory works

oh and 10 countries have launched space capable rockets with another 8 more on the way. So you FEers are saying every single official in those countries have lied, even one such as the soviet union, the esa, iran, uk, china, America, and others. You know they based icbms off space flight as well can you explain how they would work if they cant orbit

How many times have ICBMs been used in reality? Besides that, there are phenomena in FET which behave similarly to RET orbit. I can expand more on that if you wish.

Everyone here is aware of how RET works. Probably moreso than you are. We're quite well-versed in the subject. This is why we choose not to believe in it.

Also, centripetal force has nothing to do with RET orbit. Orbit is pure gravity. Centripetal force is more or less irrelevant.
That's how far the horizon is, not how far you can see.

Russia just used one about a month or so ago.

None of what you've said contradicts FET in any way. I suggest reading through the Wiki.

There is essentially nothing in the wiki on the topic of space travel or satellites.  There are only two sentences on Space Tourism.

well the wiki says nobody has entered space, are you saying the soviet union and America who would of rather started a nuclear war then work together made an agreement to fake everything they did and not expose the other. look at the list below, they are all countries that have made it to space are you saying every one of those launches were fake, theres over 2000 satellites from over 50 countries in orbit are you saying all those are fake.
