Flat Earth Theory / Space Tourism

« on: December 01, 2015, 05:14:04 PM »

Space tourism already happens, many wealthy people have gone to the International Space Station on a Soyuz.  SpaceX is a private company that has been doing supply missions to the ISS and they are a space agency for hire, and also Virgin Galactic has done many tests of their Space Ship Two and recently Blue Origin did their first test flight and it was a success.  There are a few other space agencies that have not yet launched anything but they are working towards it, like one that plans to sell suborbital space planes commercially to universities and anyone with a few million dollars.  There is also a company offering high altitude balloon rides to altitudes so high that the curvature of the Earth is easilly visible.

So how do flat earthers reconsile this with their belief that Earth is flat?  Would you give up your flat Earth beliefs if these space agencies fulfilled their promises?

Flat Earth Community / What if I applied to become an astronaut?

NASA is accepting applications to be an astronaut.  What do you flat earthers think would happen if someone with all the qualifications applied?  How would they know that you wouldn't blow the whistle?

Flat Earth Theory / The results of my experiment to prove the shape of the Earth

« on: May 11, 2015, 04:06:12 PM »

In the other flat Earth society forum I did an experiment with another user to prove the shape of the Earth once and for all.  I am new to this forum but I have been on the other forum for a while and I just got an account here.  Anyway, here is the experiment:

Recently I organized an experiment to prove the shape of the Earth where Dephelis and I both took pictures of the Sun at the same time at two very distant locations.  Time zones were obviously taken into account.

My photo:


Dephelis's photo:


Astronomy telescopes have a tendency to flip their image as well as rotate it in weird ways and also it was sunrise for me and sunset for Dephelis so we are seeing the sun at different orientations.  Here is my image rotated 180 degrees to match Dephelis's image better:


Here I have identified the sunspots on the two images:


Both these images contain the same sunspots in the same places which means that when they were taken the same side of the Sun was facing the two telescopes, but these images were taken at the same time from different continents so the only explanation is that the Sun is really far away, and if the Sun is really far away then the only way that time zones and seasons can be explained is by saying that the Earth is round.  Any resident of Earth has experienced seasons, and time zones had to be taken into account when this experiment was being preformed so they are obviously real.

Conclusion: the Earth is round.
