  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What "establishment", and what money did they make out of Martin Luther?

No not then bit they knew where all this was leading too, from Newton to Albert Einstein to Morley & Tesla and then eventually NASA.

We've been over this. NASA gets less than half of 1% of the US federal budget.

AI Overview

NASA's budget is typically around
$24-$26 billion annually, with figures fluctuating slightly each fiscal year (FY) due to Congressional approval, though it's a small fraction (less than half a cent per tax dollar) of the total U.S. federal spending, focusing on science, exploration (like Artemis), and Earth observation, primarily distributed through contracts to companies and institutions. For FY 2024, it was about $24.9 billion, while the FY 2025 request was $25.4 billion but ended up under a continuing resolution.

@jonojim1337 I'm still waiting for your explanation of how flights between Sydney and Santiago take between 12hr 40m and 14hr 30m depending on which direction you are going, while flights between Sydney and Los Angeles take between 13hr 45m and 15hr.
How does this work on your flat earth, seeing as Los Angeles sits literally halfway between Sydney and Santiago on the only maps flat earthers have offered.

@Apple Sky you are welcome to give an explanation also, though you've not bothered to try when asked before.

Who knew where what was leading to?

This is not the first time that you've made a statement, someone has challenged, or contradicted, it and your answer has begun with the words, "no, but ......"

I don't have instagram, nor am I likely to install it, so no explanation unless you are able to put it in your own words.

I'm guessing it is the same stuff that we've already debunked because they choose flights from before we had long range passenger jets capable of flying directly between the Southern continents as they do today, or they don't plot the great circle routes which actually line up to where they had to make emergency landings.

If it isn't then let me know, but I'm waiting specifically for you to answer how flights between Sydney and Santiago are shorter than flights between Sydney and Los Angeles. I'm willing to bet money that your instagram link didn't address that.

I think you can watch it in the browser without an account. But I can upload it somewhere else. What do you prefer?

Word-wise: claimed routes cannot be trusted if you study emergency landings. I don’t trust the maps they give us either.

You are correct, I was able to view it in my browser, and as I expected it didn't answer the question I put to you, and it trots out the same flights that have long been debunked for the reasons given. Jerry Pinochet is a retard.

Plotting the great circle routes on a globe is consistent with all the emergency landings. Try it yourself at Great Circle Map
Put in the origin and destination for each of the flights he makes reference to making emergency landings and see how close the flights are to where they made the landing. Totally consistent with a globe.

I’m not doing that. It’s exactly what he did in the video.

Do how do flights between SYD-LAX and SYD-SCL work on the flat earth?
Flight times are completely consistent with the globe.

No, he didn't plot great circle routes, he drew straight lines on a globe when they would actually be curved lines. They are only straight if the globe is oriented so that the end points lie on a line bisecting the globe.

Like I said, he is retarded.
