Flat Earth Theory / Re: Korabl-Sputnik I aka "Sputnik IV"

« on: October 03, 2017, 02:32:46 AM »

The Soviets launched a rocket carrying the satellite Korabl-Sputnik I (K-S1) in Baikonur, Kazakhstan in May 1960, a mission planned to last for 4 days.
The reentry rockets failed, causing it to descend in an uncontrolled reentry.
K-S1 eventually crash landed in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in September 1962, nearly 6000 miles away.

How is it that a launch in 1960 in Baikonur (45N,63E) caused a Soviet satellite (K-S1) to crash in 1962 in Manitowoc (44N,87W) if we've never been to space?

If you do a little research you will find both the US via operation Fishbowl had numerous nuclear assaults on the dome in 1962 with the Russians, who has no less than 78 confirmed for that year. Within a couples nights of Sept 4th 1962 ie Manitowoc Wisc., Russia admits to releasing upwards of 0-80KT bombs. Maybe one of their balloons got away? What goes up..

Both Governments were claiming to be knocking satellites out of the sky but I believe it would just be Nuke debris that was coming down which gave them a good excuse to "don't touch, radioactive"

Operation Fishbowl aside, people witnessed both the launch in Baikonur in 1960, as well as the (non-radioactive) satellite crash in Wisconsin 2 years later in 1962.

Operation Fishbowl was performed in the Pacific ocean, thousands of miles away from Wisconsin, so unless the earth had rotated Wisconsin in the path of the debris falling in the Pacific, I don't see how even a rocket launched from Hawaii (really the Johnston Atoll) exploding at high altitudes would send a 20 pound piece of (non-radioactive) debris to Manitowoc, Wisconsin roughly 5000 miles away. Not to mention the Russian markings on the debris.

Flat Earth Theory / Cold War Space Race

« on: October 03, 2017, 02:07:11 AM »

July 20, 1969 America landed a man on the moon. This event essentially ended the "Space Race" between the USSR and USA.

The Soviets had previously accomplished 5 distinct space travel milestones:
1 First man-made object in space (Sputnik 1)
2 First living creature in space (Sputnik 2 with Laika the dog)
3 First man in space (Vostok 1 with Yuri Gagarin)
4 First woman in space (Vostok 6 with Valentina Tereshkova)
5 First space walk in space (Voskhod 2 with Alexei Leonov)

Why would the Soviets allow America to claim their moon landing milestone with a "faked" landing?

Even if you claim the 5 milestones aren't real, the question still remains, why would USSR allow US to steal their space thunder?

How is it that one side didn't call the other out saying they hadn't gone to space?

The Cold War was all about making the other side look bad. There was no cooperation between the two nations. It was called a Cold War for a reason.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Flat Earth Map Should Be Easy

Since man has been mapping the world, they've done so with simple observations. Ptolemy (150AD) was regarded as the first cartographer, mapping out the known world based on astronomical observations reported. If FET astronomy was accurate back then, one would assume a flat plane would be mapped out, as opposed to Ptolemy's suggested curved latitudes.
