That definition seems pretty arbitrary. It doesn't define being completely out of Earth's atmosphere, which in my opinion would be considered the "vacuum" of space.
It's pretty obvious that space exists. However I would consider our knowledge of what exactly it is, incomplete.
It's the real deal. I've seen satillites with my own eyes.
Well I hate to break it to you, but satellites aren't in "SPACE" they are in low earth orbit. That's anywhere from 100 miles up to 1,200 miles. Either way, not outer space.
The information I have is that the camera used wasQuoteThe onboard cameras for the Apollo 8 mission were modified Hasselblad 500 EL cameras, with 80-millimeter and 250-millimeter Zeiss panacolor lenses.
The film was 70 mm sprocket film with gate dimensions (from what I can drag up) of 55 mm x 55 mm.
On the 1920 x 1920 pixel photo I have the earth image is 287 pixels wide, or 55 x (287/1920) = 8.22 mm wide.
If the 250 mm lens was used this makes the angular size of the earth 2 x atan((8.22/2)/250) = 1.88°
If we take the diameter of the earth as 7,918 miles, this makes the earth to moon distance of 241,728 miles.
@ Boots,
Oh c'mmon, all your GE-based arguments and proofs have been overused already.
@ Boots,
Oh c'mmon, all your GE-based arguments and proofs have been overused already. I suggest you read also ALL FE arguments and facts re such topic. Anyway, let me tell you that in those lines of arguments, both GEs and FEs have valid points, only that they don't see that, causing them to pointlessly and endlessly argue and argue without getting to the truth out there. Don't get into such trap, you might find yourself knowing nothing but shallow info. Be a truth seeker. Find out there somewhere an irrefutable and indubitable proof(s)... Thanks.
Guys is space real or made up by Nasa?
im thinking our reality is neither globe or flat..its something else..it wouldnt even be debatable if it was.It's an irregular shape but most closely resembles a sphere.
Better back up your proposition with irrefutable proof(s) that is true only to that "irregular shape" claim of yours....
Something Something Satan Reasons.
Its not much to go on but I really don't feel like pouring my thoughts out if no one is going to read them.

What I want to know is why FEers think the earth is flat when we can see that the moon, sun and other planets are round.
My room contains 5 pieces of furniture. 4 of them are chairs. How dare you try to tell me that the 5th item might be a table?!
This logic is ludicrous. The Earth is not other planets. You can't ascertain anything about the Earth's shape merely from the shape of other celestial bodies.
I hereby abandon my "experiment" for lack of a perfectly flat, perfectly level elevation , perfectly straight roadway.....For at least 3 miiles.
If someone else wants to pick up on it, they have my blessings . LOL
Also, ask earth levelers. They are about as far from NASA propagandists as you can get. But they will tell you that you can only use a laser for about 1/4 of a mile. After that it is not accurate enough. This is because the laser is shooting in a straight line which is level with the position of the laser. As you move further away from the laser, it gradually begins to shoot "uphill" in relation to the earth at that location. Up until 1/4 mile the effect is small enough to ignore. After that they need to make an adjustment - otherwise, according to how water behaves, they will be going uphill and not level.
Hello,
First, if you leave from any point on the earth, say in a plane, and continually travel in a straight line east will you not eventually end up where you started? If you did this only once from one location you would only have proved that at least the earth was disc shaped. If you went further north and/or south and did the same thing you would have proved the earth was at least cylindrical. If you did this numerous times at different latitudes and fairly consistent elevations you could soon get a pretty good idea as to whether the earth had the characteristics of a sphere by measuring your distances.

To quote myself from 2 years back:The Earth is not other planets. Other planets' characteristics may suggest things about the Earth, but they don't have to. Similarly, so far we have not seen a planet with intelligent life, so why does the Earth have intelligent life? Surely that's completely illogical since everything around us disproves our existence!
But seeing something and actually knowing what it is are two very different things
Sure, that's a fair point. We can go for a lower bar: without demanding that people KNOW what that fast moving bright light is, I'm curious what the FE community THINKS it is, and how it fits into their FE system. So far we have a suggestion that it is a hologram / projection. Are there other ideas?
I personally don't believe in space flight simply because I don't see the force of gravity as a suitable model in being that mass should attract mass because, um, mass.
And if this is what we're told on how orbit, satellites, revolution of planets work, then I can't accept it because I don't accept Newtonian gravity.
Now as far as what it is, it could be a very high altitude plane for all I know.
