Let's do a simple simple thought exercise:
2 Facts:
- When a plane takes off, it must pitch up
- At cruising altitude, planes DO NOT adjust the pitch
At cruising altitude, the plane CANNOT be following the curvature/atomsphere because then why is it pitching up during the take off? If it has to adjust during take off, then it must adjust at cruising altitude...otherwise it would go beyond the atomsphere past the curvature. You cannot have it both ways!
My post had nothing to do with whether the ISS was populated or not. You can see for yourself that the ISS moves across the sky. Do you agree that it does?
Some facts (you will probably disagree with them, but you asked) All numbers in miles.
Approximate (Rounded for ease of math) Diameter of earth's orbit around the sun : 100,000,000
Distance light travels in one year: (6 trillion) 6,000,000,000,000
Distance to star in Orions Belt : 1, 000 Light years or (6 quadrillion) 6,000,000,000,000,000 miles.
Approximate ratio of earth's diameter to Orion Belt star: 60,000,000 : 1
Experiment for you to try:
Go to a bowling alley. The lanes are 60 feet long
Have them set up the 1 and 10 pins. Stand at the foul line. Carefully look at the two pins, especially the apparent relationship of one to the other. Take a picture. Now, move to the left just .000001 of a foot. Take another picture. Compare the pictures. No difference.
The reason the stars apparently "... do not budge, move oscillate, migrate, slide, shift or deform." is that the diameter of the earth's rotation around the sun is tiny compared to the distance to the stars.

2 Facts:
- When a plane takes off, it must pitch up
- At cruising altitude, planes DO NOT adjust the pitch
The curvature is logarithmic..when landing, it must adjust for more than 12 miles in curvature....but the pilot never does that!
Most of history is manipulated. Who can really be sure that the greek philosphers even existed. Maybe they are "written" as part of history. People 500 years did think the earth was flat, even the catholic church believed it.
The USGS puts a lot of confidence in the flat earth map, they still use it, and they make the worlds maps.
Hi Jack,
Imagine a time in your life when you can't be wrong, or else terrible things happen to people you work for or people you know.
Once upon a time, that was my life for years. I was not allowed to be wrong, so I had to do whatever was necessary to not be wrong, even if my response was: I don't know.
The reason I have told you this, is I am not and was not allowed by my postion to not know if the earth was flat or not. I was not allowed to not engage in every arena scientifically that I was capable of handling.
So, not everyone can walk away not caring what the answers are on flat earth versus non flat earth and I wanted you to know that.
Next:
You mentioned the good attitude of the person in that article. This next point, made by a person in one article or another seems right also:
Truth will never be found where care and compassion are lacking.
“The age old saying ‘ignorance is bliss’ withholds a mighty truth. This is not to say that a continued state of ignorance is blissful, it is rather to say that when one recognizes that one is ignorant of a subject it immediately puts them in the position to explore, with a childlike wonder, all the gems waiting to be found within the investigation.” — Claudia Pavonis
It is not for me, that I need you or want you to believe in anything. I would just hope that you would want to know. To know what is true and what is not true, for yourself, first. I see people here offering ways to check on the accuracy and veracity of flat earth versus a non flat earth concept, but I see all those efforts being totally dismissed by morse86, but I am hoping that is not your position also.
One experiment/test is worth a thousand expert opinions is said. Flat earther's and you say you are not one, only work with opinions it seems. None, of them has done, nor accknowledged the evidence, when they cannot find an objection to the evidence. And, I do mean that the Mars Atomospheric Probe launch, was criticized by morse86, but as soon as his criticizm was shown to be wrong, he then went silent.
I don't know why ignoring what is before him, is done by him. What he is showing is a lack of caring. It has the technical Pyschological description of the silent form of verbal abuse, as it is an important topic to me and others, and he refuses to talk about it, when it doesn't go his way.
LOVE,
The HAPS, known also as HALE (High Altitude Long Endurance) stations or SPR (Stratospheric Platform Radio) are reusable unmanned aeronautical vehicles (UAV) at stratospheric altitudes that offer an alternative to the terrestrial and satellite telecommunication systems.
Wrong. Pilots constantly adjust the attitude of the plane to keep a constant altitude as measured by altimeters. Most planes now have autopilots that constantly measure altitude and constantly adjust the plane's pitch.
By keeping these planes at assigned altitudes, air traffic control creates invisible stacked highways in the sky, keeping enough air space between the flights
For most commercial passenger aircraft, the cruise phase of flight consumes the majority of fuel. As this lightens the aircraft considerably, higher altitudes are more efficient for additional fuel economy. However, for operational and air traffic control reasons it is necessary to stay at the cleared flight level. On long haul flights, the pilot may climb from one flight level to a higher one as clearance is requested and given from air traffic control. This maneuver is called a step climb.
Yes, to get off the ground. Or, in the case of a helicopter or a commercial drone, it just goes up.
Wrong. Pilots constantly adjust the attitude of the plane to keep a constant altitude as measured by altimeters. Most planes now have autopilots that constantly measure altitude and constantly adjust the plane's pitch.
Wrong again, because the pilot has kept the plane at a desired altitude the entire flight.
Don't take my word for it. Everywhere in the country you can go up in a small sightseeing plane. You should do this. You can sit next to the pilot and ask him about it while witnessing it for yourself.
Maybe LastThusdayism is fact. If I'm not mistaken, you have denied it.Most of history is manipulated. Who can really be sure that the greek philosphers even existed. Maybe they are "written" as part of history.

No. They use a lot of different methodologies to depict a spheroidal earth on a two dimensional map.The USGS puts a lot of confidence in the flat earth map, they still use it, and they make the worlds maps.
Do you know what the word "cruising altitude" means? Do you constantly change the speed when you drive your car on cruise control? It stays constant!
Pilots/Autopilots DO NOT change the cruising altitude. The cruising altitude is assigned by several factors (control tower, conditions, type of plane).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_(aeronautics)
I think a large factor is that we have known the earth is a globe for several centuries and people who insist the world is flat are clearly deluded.
Therefore, at cruising altitude, the average speed is 590 miles per hour. At that rate, the curvature is almost 200 miles. The plane should've gone into space!
Do try to read carefully. Attitude is not altitude. Attitude includes Roll, Pitch and Yaw.Do you know what the word "cruising altitude" means?

Not if the pilot kept a "cruising altitude" of say 10,000 feet (or 30,000 feet, or 200 feet).Therefore, at cruising altitude, the average speed is 590 miles per hour. At that rate, the curvature is almost 200 miles. The plane should've gone into space!
Yes, a large object is trackable and visible. So are other smaller ones, at least in summer.
Do you think it is populated or are all the vids done in the vomit comet or with green screen technology and women with perms and hair spray?
None are provable. If NASA is lying we have nothing to go on.
That's one theory. The other is that we don't move. How do we know for sure?
