Flat Earth Investigations / Re: People have been into space. How have they not discovered that the earth is flat

There was a paragraph before the one you quoted:

"The most commonly accepted explanation of this is that the space agencies of the world are involved in a conspiracy faking space travel and exploration. This likely began during the Cold War's 'Space Race', in which the USSR and USA were obsessed with beating each other into space to the point that each faked their accomplishments in an attempt to keep pace with the other's supposed achievements. Since the end of the Cold War, however, the conspiracy is most likely motivated by greed rather than political gains, and using only some of their funding to continue to fake space travel saves a lot of money to embezzle for themselves."

Personally, I doubt the validity of any space program.

My 8th graders have determined that you are using the Burden of Proof logical fallacy.  It must be very convenient to scream CONSPIRACY, when you have NO supporting evidence.  Just saying Conspiracy is evidence of nothing.

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Earth’s core?

I think the current theory (probly not up to date) is that a large chunk of the core is crystallized iron.
I think the film, The Core, has a scene there.

I am unsure what is on the lower layer of most flat theories, sorry

My 8th graders just determined that you have used the Appeal to Authority Logical Fallacy, and your argument is invalid.  You used a Hollywood Movie as a source.  What did you do when you watch War of the Worlds?  Did you think that was real too.
