Yes. And has been explained it would probably make quite a few big holes and there would be no certainty about exactly where. A remote spot in the ocean is a more sensible choice.

Well Russia is a big place. Pepper Russia with it.

The ISS is not like a helium balloon. You can’t just let go and it floats off somewhere, never to be seen again.

It's not real. This is like explaining to me the powers that a wizard does and does not have in the lore of the daft book you are reading. It's just fantasy.

If NASA is saying that this event will happen in 2031, why not simply prepare for that event so that when said event is "supposed" to happen, than the FE community could use observation to disprove such an event?

Also

It's pretty obvious why they picked a remote point - there will be a fairly big degree of error with an unpowered object falling through the atmosphere.

So GoldCashew wants me to get in a boat and be in the vicinity when a million pieces of space shuttle come reigning down with a "fairly big degree of error".

How about I don't volunteer for this suicide mission, thank you?

Well there's people in the ISS at the moment, they probably don't want to kill them.

I thought they were going to let the astronauts get off before they crashed it into the sea. If they let them off to crash it into the sea, why would you leave them on to crash into a Syrian bunker?

But it's not a bad idea if (let's face it, they will be) the US are in a war in 2031. Although missiles are guided with a bit more precision than a space station.

A missile would have no where near the energy of a hypersonic 420,000kg space station. That would make one hell of a hole.

It's pretty obvious why they picked a remote point - there will be a fairly big degree of error with an unpowered object falling through the atmosphere.

Why do they have to bring it back to earth to be junk in the ocean. Why don't they just let it float off into the vast expanse of an infinite universe and be junk where no creature, plant or anything will ever come across it?

Projections would require a projector, wouldn't they ... ?

A teacher requires something to teach. A cup of coffee requires coffee and a cup. An axe murderer requires an axe.

Oh, this thread is about the ISS, not statements of the blindingly obvious. My bad.

So they could just leave it up there beyond 2031.  Just have to keep putting new batteries in the Firmament Projector Thingy.  Wherever that is. 

I'm going to guess they plug it in.

And you do understand that, as it breaks up, the different components, having a wide variety of mass/Cd ratios, will be spread over a large area, of which Point Nomo is the centre?  It won't conveniently land in one lump, hence maximise the chances of hitting no-one (or Nemo). 

Actually there are lots of choices.

1) Let if drift off into space.
2) Hit it with a missile and let all the little pieces disintegrate in the atmosphere.
3) Detonate it with a bomb and let all the pieces disintegrate in the atmosphere.
4) Leave it where it is in orbit.

You understand you can observe the ISS from the ground, right? You can see it with the naked eye exactly where and when it's said to be appearing and with some not that expensive equipment you can see the shape of it.

Oh, I can see their projections on the firmament, no problem at all.

Yeah, I don't understand why they don't just crash it on to a school or something either.

The earth is a big place. I'm sure the options aren't

1) Furthest place from any human likely to observe the death spiral
2) On a school

The US is currently at war with Syria. Why not hit a military installation with it? Would be a hell of a boost for the US troops.

I see. So you're pre-emptively calling it fake. Fair enough. Saves you having to think about it too much I guess.

What do you mean pre-emptively? We've been calling the ISS fake for as long as I've been coming to these forums. The fact they want to end the story at 'the point furthest from land on planet Earth' seems altogether too convenient and predictable.

But the death spiral will be observable. Come on, you Zetetic lot, I'm sure you could hire a pedalo and go watch.

Yeah, they've made it real easy for us. 

In a report this week, the US space agency said the ISS would crash into a part of the ocean known as Point Nemo.

This is the point furthest from land on planet Earth, also known as the spacecraft cemetery.

EDIT: And why would there be a death spiral at all if it's just a studio somewhere?!

CGI is cheap. They don't even need a fireworks display to cover the tracks of this hoax.

So they are shutting the studio on a show that has bad ratings and the death spiral is a nice way of saying "And that's why its not in a museum for you to see with your own lying eyes".

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Found a fully working flat earth model?

« on: February 01, 2022, 07:28:01 PM »

Please find the sun_at_the_equator image hereby.

If you prefer, it's relatively easy to make these graphs yourself:
- generate the scene as the globe model describes (ie, an earth, a sun and straight lightrays from the sun to the earth)
- express every element in celestial coordinates (latitude, longitude, distance from the center of the earth)
- now draw (lat/long) as an AE projection (this creates a disc) and insert this disc at height `distance` in the cylinder.
Doing this for all elements in the scene will create the pictures i've made.

Or if you like hard math, transform the line-equation this way, and you'll have the equation for lightrays in the flat-earth universe.

You would only expect those sunlight patterns on 20th March and 23rd September.

With a private window I'm finding us at the bottom of page 2. I guess position 35 or thereabouts.

With my own account and being bubbled, I still only find tfes on page one position 20.

Both for the term 'flat earth society'.

This is new for me. usually I find us near the top of page one. I just thought I'd mention it in case it is something easily fixed like a sitemap update or consenting to some new crap on google console.

Well you've ruled out comedy. I guess you are quickly eliminating your weaknesses so this is great progress.

There is a good chance you didn't understand what you were watching, so you will understand that I don't take you seriously.

There is an equally good chance that your last video was 💩

There is a massive difference between Australians 16+ and all Australians, isn’t there?  You will feel soooooo much better if you just admit you are wrong. You will also learn more which makes you less likely to come off as an ignoramus in the future.

You haven't offered anything. How did they get 93%? you are saying I'm wrong, but not saying why. Stop be so intellectually dishonest and offer something.

Thork this just be so embarrassing.

Then stop embarrassing yourself. And stop speaking like a Jamaican.

First off you showed how Reuters got the number 94.4%, which isn’t what Shifter claimed.

Fun fact, the number changes because they continue to vaccinate people. You knew that right? You aren't that stupid.

Second, Ahifter did not claim all of Australia had a rate of 93% vaccinated, did he?  Don’t read more, go see what he actually wrote, I’ll wait….

~93% of Australians 16+ have had 2 doses

Back? Feel dumb?  You should.

I feel like we are at the point where you have fuck all to say as usual and so you are resorting to pedantry. That's how I feel.

Also, using proper records we can tell how many within 'x' age group are vaccinated. Or how many people with disabilities are vaccinated. Or aboriginal people etc

No one uses the total doses administered and then 'divides by 2' lol.

Well. One person does.

You need to learn how to read. I posted showing that was the way the 93% was arrived at. I was complaining that it's a dumb way to do it. Don't make out that's the way I endorse.

So you're complaining about how Reuters came up with their percent?

I was complaining about Shifter's claim that 93% of Australians were vaccinated. That isn't true and I showed how they get that number. Once you see how they get it, you know it's a false claim.

He didn’t cite Reuters so what in the actual fuck are you talking about? You debunked something he didn’t claim. Classic Thork.

He claimed 93% vaccination rate in Australia. That is false. I showed how they got that number. Once you see how they calculate it, you know its wrong. So the 93% is debunked. Job done. Keep up.

~93% of Australians 16+ have had 2 doses

That data is so bent.

Here is how they get that number.

Australia has administered at least 47,889,638 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 94.4% of the country’s population.

94.4%. Its gone up since your source. Nice.

Lets check somewhere else ... say my home country.

United Kingdom has administered at least 137,140,907 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 102.6% of the country’s population.

102.6%? It is at this point you know your ~93% means absolutely nothing.
