Sure. They can't defend their own heliocentric theory.
Or they feel they have better things to do with their time. Again, just because someone doesn't want to spend time debating you doesn't mean they
afraid to. That's a silly way of thinking.
The other space agencies were formed to damage control the obvious conspiracy between Russia and the US.
The other space agencies and just about every country on the planet? Again, even ones that are hostile to the United States? Are you suggesting that Russia, the US, and other countries are all under the control of ONE government, despite the fact that they're constantly at odds with each other, working against each other's interests, et cetera? Is that the rabbit hole you're going down?

If you are not aware of the solid observations that the FE crowd are presenting... To the point that you are comparing their argument to "undetectable pixies". Then you are obviously arguing against a view that you have not investigated....
I've seen plenty. And every time a flat-earther tries to bring their findings against someone who really knows what they're talking about, somebody who studies this stuff for a living, you know what I see? They fail.
In a parallel observation... we have weather balloon and amateur rockets that have video footage of going well beyond 70,000 feet and, without NASA's favorite partner, a go pro fish eye lens, they repeatedly show absolutely no curve.....Which should be readily apparent at a curve rate of 8 inches per mile squared...from these altitudes.
Okay, two things. First, you have this funny habit of describing things but not showing them. Second, do you not see the hypocrisy, here? You'll dismiss any picture from any source that shows a round-earth as fake, or ignore it because it COULD be faked, but you'll readily accept a picture that you think shows its flat. You don't see your bias, there?
This is the result of simple cognitive dissonance... People are so indoctrinated with the globe, and it is so ingrained in them from such an early age.... that if you tell them that the Bible describes it as an un moving plane with an impenetrable femiment over top... they will obviously look for ways to explain why the bible says what it does.
The problem, of course, being that people knew the Earth was a ball long before the Bible came along, and in cultures that didn't even worship that particular religion. They studied the Earth on their lonesome and discovered that it was round, or at least NOT flat.
Can you please show me any scripture that even hints at a ball, spinning at 1000 miles per hour, orbiting around a sun and all this hurling through space?
I'm not a Christian, so you'll have to pick that particular fight with one of the MANY Christians who have that viewpoint. You're in the right place for that.
Does it not seem odd to you that we have a treaty among 53 countries that has held since 1959...and all it deals with is a place that is too cold to live?
There are treaties for all sorts of things, dude. What's your point?
Do you actually think that all these countries with space programs all figured all the same stuff out on their own, individually?
Just because they followed after the example of other countries doesn't mean they working with those other countries. Whenever one country develops technology, the other countries are obviously going to go to great lengths to do the same, not wanting to be left behind. That's the way countries work. We developed nuclear weaponry, other countries started trying to do the same thing. That doesn't mean we GAVE them the technology. That's part of the thing with the nuclear quagmire with North Korea going on today - we didn't GIVE them nuclear capability, they're developing it on their own.
If you don't know that these scientists could care less
Couldn't. COULDN'T. I let this go the first time, because I assumed it was just a typo, but you using it twice makes think you think that's how it's supposed to be said. COULDN'T CARE LESS. If you COULD care less, than that means you do care, at least a little.
They are all one big happy family and it is Naive to think that any of them would break the code of things that are "too great" for the public to know.
I await your evidence that every space agency is working in tandem and under one authority, even the ones in countries that are openly hostile to just about everyone else, like North Korea.
There have been recorded Lunar Eclipses with the sun visible in the sky on many occasions
This is the part where you should, you know, actually SHOW that. Along with an explanation of why you accept that video footage, despite claiming how you can't accept any other video footage.
Oh, and explain to me how we can know when a lunar eclipse is going to happen, exactly how long its going to last, and even when its going to do the very thing that you're describing if it's not happening the way you think it does.
Explain how we not only know when a solar eclipse will occur, but explain where you'll be able to see it and exactly how long it will last.
Oh, and explain how we can predict when, where, and how you'll be able to view comets, even ones that only show up every thousand or so years, or ones that only pass by once.
Explain how a Moon that's, according to you, generating its own light, can cast a shadow on the Earth.
All that would be nice.
