Hello all.  I've been curious about FE vs. Round Earth theory, so I've been studying up, and I would love to hear some feedback and input as to some ideas and concepts around it.  I've read a few FAQs which have been very helpful, and many of my questions have been answered by reading various forum posts, and making my own inferences and theories based on existing and proposed models, ideas, and so forth, but there are a few questions and ideas I haven't been able to find much 'satisfactory' info on, at least to date.  I understand that not everyone has the same ideas, beliefs, and theories here, or that there are consensuses on anything or everything, but I'd love to hear both personal and more communal ideas if you have the time, and I appreciate any input or comments on the matter.  Thanks in advance:

Are all satellites fakes and lies/misdirection, and things such as GPS (whatever it may be) and other supposedly satellite technologies really based on ground technologies?  Or have they figured out a way to hover drones or drone-like satellites up above?  If they are up above (no more far-fetched IMO than an airplane or weather balloon), what are they hovering in?  I know the area above is called the firmament, but am still uncertain as to what it might be, or be made of, how high it goes, and so forth.

The next one is similar to the first, but  more conceptual, but also more fascinating imo.  I think most rockets/vehicles in space (or at least really high) are fake, but in theory, if you could launch a rocket far up above the Earth, what would it find?  How far do you think it would go, and similar to my first question, what do you think we would find?  I'm curious as to what it's all made of, and what keeps it in place, or in motion (I've read conflicting ideas and theories of here, naturally, as people work to figure it out).

Lastly for now, working off the "what keeps it in place/motion" notion or on my last question, I'm still a bit confused on the fundamental... being of the FE as such, since it is such a departure from the Round Earth model, and some parts are harder to conceptualize, at least for me.  Like, I've read that things just fall, and my question is, is the Earth falling?  If not, what keeps it from falling?  I've read other ideas that some people think the Earth stretches on, forever even, while others say otherwise, that it is a rising disc, but I was wondering, do you think it's falling or rising?  Or, is there a gravity like force that keeps things in place, or keeps them rising, or falling?  What about the other planets?  What's in between the Earth and them?  Empty air is my best guess/theory so far, sort of, but I am oversimplifying here to prevent from going on too much. 

Thanks again and in advance for your input.  Take care.

Best,
