FEH claims that the Earth is not a planet. If it is not, what is it? Why would it be different than any other object we observe? What makes the Earth special?
The Chinese took this lovely picture of the moon and Earth in 2014. The Earth looks like a planet to me.
Chinese exclusion policy of NASA
Due to security concerns, all researchers from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are prohibited from working with Chinese citizens affiliated with a Chinese state enterprise or entity.[28] In April 2011, the 112th United States Congress banned NASA from using its funds to host Chinese visitors at NASA facilities.[29] In March 2013, the U.S. Congress passed legislation barring Chinese nationals from entering NASA facilities without a waiver from NASA.[28]
These rules make it hard to believe that they are cooperating to perpetuate a pointless lie. China began their space program because they were falling behind the US and USSR in space tech. If they discovered the world was flat, why would they not expose their adversaries as liars?
