You need to channel your inner Bishop. Do you ever see Tom losing it? And the fact he doesn't makes him absolutely bullet proof. As an FEr, the rabble all crave your attention. There are less of us. If one of them annoys you particularly, stop responding to that individual. Answer the other posts and deliberately leave theirs unanswered. It drives them crazy and eventually acts as a correctional tool. They will become more polite, because that's always better than being ignored.


If it helps, when some people are rude to me and I don't deserve it, I think of myself a little bit like a flat earth Jesus. And I forgive them, because they know not what they do. But I have a complex set of issues of my own ... its just whatever works for you.

Preaching to the converted. I don't see anyone complaining that Japan has too many Japanese people or that the Congo has too many blacks. Its just the same old assault on white people because we have too many cucks that would agree with such a stupid notion.

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Water on Mars

« on: July 29, 2018, 01:30:41 PM »

I suspect a better way to take water to mars is to burn oxygen and hydrogen as fuel ... as they already do ... but collect and keep the byproduct which is water. How you would do that when you need to throw the water out the back to get a mass flow rate, I don't know, but solving that problem would likely be the start of a decent terraformer.

Carbon has a very unique properly ... it can be bound with other things to form long chains necessary for amino acids, proteins, oils, sugars ... you can't do that with silicon or iron. Putting iron in a chain does sod all. There is a reason all composites are made of carbon. There is no sulphur-fibre body armour or lightweight tungsten nano tubes. Its got to be carbon ... nothing else can be so diverse and complex in structure. You cant have a sodium based diamond or a tree made out of Boron.

I think one of the major points is that this water would take a lot less energy to extract.

Also I'm not sure how you create H2O from CO2 being as you have a decided lack of hydrogen in CO2.

It could also be an indicator of the first extraterrestrial life ever found. Who knows? They live in a high radiation environment (thin atmosphere to protect them) so maybe they have anti-cancer adaptations ... which we could use back on earth.

Stop encouraging him.


Back to water on Mars ... and the ultimate question ... should we exploit that resource to inhabit the planet or should we preserve Mars as it is and only use it for scientific purposes ... like Antarctica.

I just bought a new office chair as my last one was falling to bits. I could use a good desk to go with it.

Anyone got any good suggestions? I've been looking at the height adjustable ones that you can stand or sit at, but I don't want to pay £400 for a new desk - or if I did, it would have to be an epic desk.

We already see that lower gravity can cause astronauts to lose calcium in their bones from a short period of time.

How's that? The lower gravity I mean.

I don't make this stuff up. NASA makes this stuff up.

Since when is NASA a credible source for anything? 

I just answered that in the post above.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the CGI and directing (I'll definitely concede that the banter here is weak), as I'm not sure how to have a productive debate on something so subjective. The one thing I will say in defense of the CGI is that it looks like the movie is so far managing to avoid what I feel are the DCEU's two biggest weaknesses there - hideously ugly designs that become an eyesore whenever they're on-screen and poor compositing between the live-action elements and digital effects.

I implore you to go watch that trailer again and really look at the CGI. Look at this rubber shark that is entirely consistent with the rubber fish family from the poster. When the poster came out I thought "oh it's just a poster, the lighting and texturization won't be that bad in the film" but I was wrong, Sadman.

Why is every superhero either black, gay or transsexual as of late?

Why can't they be superheroes doing super things, without needing to also tick PC boxes?

Uhhhhh probably because Deadpool has been pansexual in the comics for a long-ass time?

Also out of all the most recent superheroes, not many of them are black, gay or transsexual.

No, Deadpool was declared pansexual in 2013 ... when raging leftists were already at full voice about 'inclusion' which includes everybody accept the vast majority of people.

Then we had the mess that was Wakanda, now Supergirl has a teeny-weeny, Captain America woke up black one morning, Thor is now a woman and have you noticed it is always the hero that has to be gay or ethnic? Never the villain? Like gay people and black people can't be bad? Nope, the bad guy is always a straight white guy.

Its making characters terrible. You used to have writers create a new character by starting with ... what special power should they have? Let's allow him to climb walls a bit like a spider ... hey we'll call him spiderman. Let's make a guy who has x-ray vision, can fly and is super strong ... lets call him superman.

Now its ... lets make a black character. His super power is being black. Oh, and he has to be good. Good and black. Lets call him Goodblackman. No wait ... ok he needs more stuff. Lets make him gay. No, black people aren't gay, we only do that to white characters. Let's just give him a cape, some undescribed powers we can make up as we go along and call him something noble sounding ... erm how about Nightmare ... you know alluding to the fact he's dark. Cool.


No one is interested in this apart from people who don't even read or watch comic films/book, that just want the 'message' conveyed. People need to carry on voting with their wallets and boycotting this brainscrubbing trash.

I might argue that the description of the boards sends the exact message Pete is trying to get rid of.

The top level Flat Earth Discussion Forums are a Debate Club. As in any debate club, the goal is to exercise your ability in debate to poke holes in arguments and expose weaknesses, even if you do not believe in that position yourself. Keep in mind that this is a friendly debate. Post in the Flat Earth Debate Club and join the fun!

Ah,

This is FE investigations. I can take any side I like. Being as this thread is about the supposed water on Mars, I can either choose to moan and wail about NASA et al being a bunch of liars (which they are), or I can for the sake of the debate accept the assumption and then debate directly about the actual pros and cons of going to Mars, should is be possible.

Being as a I can moan and wail in the other FE boards, I can have a different kind of conversation if I just swallow the lie and progress the conversation from there ... which I chose to do for the sake of interesting debate. This thread isn't about Earth's shape, its about going to Mars to exploit its resources ... and I have a thing or two to say about that as well.

This new flexibility is why we added this board. You can understand that after several years of discussing earth's shape, its nice to be able to discuss other things not directly related.

« on: July 28, 2018, 11:22:46 AM »

Cannot be a plane. Look at the many (hundreds of) videos of "ISS lunar/solar transit"; these events are predicted well in advance, for specific locations. It's not photographers looking up to the sky at random times.

The only way this could occur with this degree of precision is for the object to be an orbital spacecraft, unfettered by considerations of weather, atmospherics, fuelling, piloting/remote control, maintenance, and all the rest. An object with a consistent, predictable orbit, the path of which is known in advance.

Planes cannot do this.

You moved the goal posts. The objection was that it doesn't LOOK like an aircraft.

If you concede is looks like it could be an aircraft, we can go on to look at your objection.

I believe we should make an effort to cure cancer and end world hunger. Is there anyone who disagrees and would like to debate the pros of cancer and people starving to death?

Depends who the person is. It's like you've never heard of Piers Morgan.
And the only possible issue is if we as a species get so dumb that we can't research the important things. I don't think that's going to happen.

Of course we have heard of Piers Morgan in the UK. And as we did with David Beckham and James Corden, when we get fed up of an over-exposed celebrity we send them to America so we don't have to listen to them any more.

I don't even know where you are going with the original debate. You changed the subject to whether humans will evolve to be more or less intelligent. Have you given up?

https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/postsecondary/features/F_Bones_in_Space.html

So what you meant was 'we have been told that lower gravity can cause astronauts to lose calcium in their bones from a short period of time'. Fair enough.

I was confused by 'we already see'.

We ... as in mankind
already ... as in it has happened
see ... as in observe or have scientifically documented.

I don't know how you could have interpreted that any differently?

We already see that lower gravity can cause astronauts to lose calcium in their bones from a short period of time.

How's that? The lower gravity I mean.

I don't make this stuff up. NASA makes this stuff up.
https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/postsecondary/features/F_Bones_in_Space.html

And all that data is based on people living in MICRO-GRAVITY. So virtually 0g. That is NOT the same as someone living in a third of earth's gravity about which there is virtually no data. And, again, for the hard of thinking, if you live in a lower gravity environment you don't need your bones to be as strong. It's only if you returned to earth that you'd be in trouble.

Sorry, I'll go back to explaining as though you are 10 years old.

Zero gravity means none.
We'll take earths gravity to be 100%
Therefore we can say Mars gravity is 38% of earth's gravity. Source

So, if in 3 months your bones start losing all their calcium in zero gravity, at 38% they are going to lose a huge amount of it. Especially over a life time.

Now that means it won't be as extreme as zero gravity ... but there will be a notable difference. And that will effect you whther you are on earth or Mars because your bones will not grow to regular length and grow straight because you removed a lot of the material that is necessary for normal bone growth.

Imagine if you will, a deep sea fish. When we bring them to the surface, they die. It isn't that there is no pressure up at the surface ... it isn't zero pressure ... but it isn't the same as 4 miles deep either.

People have not evolved to live on Mars. Now, you could genetically engineer them to do so ... but by the time you changed their bones, respiratory system, CNS, etc ... they would be so different to a human that they would be another species ... one I will go ahead and call Martians. And they won't be able to breed with us. They won't be able to live with us. They will see us as an alien species and likely declare independence for Mars just as America did to the British ... and like the Americans will say it doesn't matter you are more powerful right now ... you are too far away so bring the war to us and see how you get on. And we'd lose. And now we have a hostile race of intelligent aliens living on the very next planet and all because you want more science.
