[MOVED] What happens when a non-NASA astronaut is asked about the shape of the earth?

Thankfully this is a fairy tale that can be put to rest fairly soon as the space travel and tourism become affordable to the masses.

As for Mirosław Hermaszewski

Mirosław Hermaszewski - Wikipedia

The guy is 78 years old , his wiki does not in any way indicate he is flatearther and apparently had a succesfull army career retiring as general as well as an astronaut.

Wielding occam`s razor here which is more likely that he really upturned all the accepted physics as we know it in some trivial interview with nobody or that a guy aged 78 got confused bit and said something funny especially since we are looking at translated interview.

Any takers ?

Listening to the audiobook of "Carrying the Fire", by Mike Collins. He mentions his flight on Gemini 10, and how, at the altitude they did some orbits at, the 'curvature of the earth was very clear'.

Guess he is part of the conspiracy. Or a paid shill for the Bilderburgers or the Rothschilds. Or something.

Full interview

It only took ONE PERSON , centuries ago, before electricity by man,
before fast food (except for antelope),
before smoke signals discovered the Native Americans,
before Sonny met Cher,

ONE PERSON was all it took, to show perfectly , mathematically,

that the earth is round ball shape, spherically speaking.....

after that, no other proof was nor is needed, nor makes any sense spending time or money or anything on ..... (except of course the companies hoping to make money )

How does his 'testimony' trump the testimony of thousands of others that have been in space? And taken pictures and such?

Maybe sometimes, maybe often,

A lie only has to be stated once to be believed. Once someone chooses to believe it, like flat earth,
they won't change their mind until they are willing and want to learn the truth.

The will of man might always or often be much stronger than the truth is to that man.

Thanks for finding that. Here's a machine translation of the youtube description:

"
TV Kwidzyn. Local TV channel available on the VECTRA S.A. network

There were no such crowds in the KCK auditorium on November 11, if so many people were there at all. There were so many willing to enter the meeting with General Mirosław Hermaszewski that not everyone fit inside and a large group of people had to be content with what was heard in the corridor.


More about the meeting of General Hermaszewski with the inhabitants of Kwidzyn on the website: http: //www.tv-kwidzyn.pl/ consciousosci/2 ...

Let's see if we can validate what he said and meant. Of course no one data point is proof. Science collects evidence, first, before deciding. Right now let's find out what this astronaut thinks about space if we can.

Website with info about the interview and meeting:

Kosmonauta w Kwidzynie. Spotkanie z generałem Mirosławem Hermaszewskim.

"Shortly before meeting the residents, he agreed to give us a short interview."

I hope a Polish speaker can help put this, the general's words, and the sign about the meeting into context for us.

Someone edited wiki to discuss this on Nov 16, 2019, but didn't have a source so it was promptly deleted. How much truth there is in this statement is the original point of this thread. Unfortunately resistance was futile, and the thread got assimilated by the "No, it's a disc" "No, it's a sphere" recursion.

"General Miroslaw Hermaszewski in interview that took place on 23rd November 2018 in town of Kwidzyn (Poland) assured journalist that shape of the earth is flat. This information not only made him first Polish astronaut in space but first astronaut to have other worldview than heliocentric."

Because it says what they want to hear, obviously.

How does 1000 of others trump God the creator. Who states in the Bible about His creation, noting that agrees with science or astronauts

Amazes me every time i see flat earth believers fall over each other eager to accept any flat earth nonsense.

They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

Not buying it. Got something less ambiguous?

Did Jesus also have four legs, eat grass and was covered in soft wool?

While I appreciate being ignorantly and indirectly belittled as much as the next guy, you ball-earthers don't actually hold any intellectual high ground on this topic. None, whatsoever.

Out of curiosity....when your grandkid buys you a space cruise ticket around the earth in orbit for 500 bucks in 20 years will you take the trip and will your brain explode if you see a round earth ?

I'd really love for you to give the name of that ONE PERSON... because I have that weird notion that you are quite wrong in that.

Did it never occur to any of you "Hurray, we now have proof the Erf is flet!" people that this might be an example of Poe's Law in action?
