Flat Earth Theory / Re: "It's true, I saw it on the Internet!"

I posted in the other thread a way to prove it happened, or was at least live.

No, what you proved is that it's consistent with other sources that also claim the Earth is round. That's a good thing, granted, but it's a poor effort when it comes to reaching any conclusions.

How many consistent sources (please specify an actual number) should be found before you find the consistency acceptable?

If you have a basis for not accepting any specific sources as valid, what is it?

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Do rockets like SpaceX Falcon Heavy actually reach speeds of approx 17, 500 mph?

Perhaps the Original Poster could outline the 'things' that he/she considers would actually PREVENT a rocket from achieving those speeds?

We can discount air resistance, maximum RPM for mechanicals, and such, so ... what?
