Even if the lowliest positioned people don't know that they're not working on real satellites, etc...  THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE who must keep this secret.  WHY?  WHY?  WHY?

On the more obvious side:  If the sun was a spotlight we'd be able to see, as the sun moves further away from us, that the light is shining down and not all around.

They would have to know.  If their job is part of what it takes to get a satellite into orbit, or if they're involved in some part of the International Space Station, or if they're involved with flight plans for international air traffic, or every government's air force, they MUST know whether or not the earth is round.

Also, if this is real, there would have to be a team of people in different countries in charge of enforcing the no-fly zone near the edge.  They're all kept in line? 

There would be images of the edge, that those in power have, that would have to be kept secret successfully somehow…

It's just NOT possible.

Every question about the science of a flat earth seems to get answered.  And though I don't believe the answers are valid, I don't know enough about math and science to debate a FE'er on that level.  Instead, I trust the work of thousands and thousands of scientists, mathematicians, astronauts, and other professionals who work at jobs that require intimate knowledge of the shape of the earth.

In order for this conspiracy to be real, someone has to answer the question of how it's possible that all those people, from all different countries, with vastly differing politics and economic priorities, could all be kept in line. 

It's just not enough to pin it on the government or some collection of powerful people.  How could EVERY country that has put a satellite in orbit (and all the people involved) be forced to keep the secret?  How and why would ALL the people involved in space exploration, all over the world, be compelled to go along with this lie?

IF I give you a pass on the science (which is a huge pass), I still have not heard ONE reasonable explanation of how this could be pulled off.
