Flat Earth Theory / FET and Global Positioning System
« on: March 15, 2018, 08:20:45 PM »
We can all agree, flat-earther and round-earther alike, that GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and similar systems work pretty well.
Supposedly those positioning systems rely on time signals from satellites orbiting earth, which in a flat earth model obviously wouldn't possible. I've read several times from flat-earthers that those systems have to somehow work differently, perhaps with ground-based beacons instead of satellites.
FES Consensus seems to be that NASA and other space agencies fake space travel out of greed, but aren't actually aware that the earth is flat.
However, to develop and operate GPS and similar systems, whether using satellites in space or radio beacons on earth, somebody obviously needs to be pretty aware of earth's actual shape.
GPS is operated by US Air Force. Does this mean the USAF knows earth is flat but didn't tell NASA?
GLONASS is operated by Roskosmos, Russia's space agency itself and Galileo is operated by ESA (European Space Agency). How is that possible without them knowing the earth is flat?
I'd like to know what your take is on that, flat-earthers.
This is a genuine question so junker, please refrain from moving it to CN.
