Nikon came out last september with the p1000, 125x zoom = 3000mm bridge camera ($995.00). I was saying if nikon, cannon, sony, etc.. ever come out with a 200 plus zoom it would again provide just a little more power of zoom and that possibly a little better (closer) image.

If you want closeups, you don't need a zoom lens. All you need is a good old-fashioned telephoto lens.

You realise they went to the moon to investigate the moon, right? They weren't there for long. It's not like they stayed for a few days or anything. Why do you think they would waste time looking back at the Earth?

The last so called mission to the moon was there, three days.

Playtex made their space suits. Haha and yall believe this stuff.

I think that's what they call the argument from incredulity.

More disturbing is what seems to be an underlying misogyny that sees "seamstresses" and "spaceflight" as incompatible.

Can I ask how the flat earth idea explains how we can see the horizon?

So you believe you have unlimited vision. But i guess you do if you think you can see a star that is 20 billion light years away

Not quite.

The US did indeed give moon rocks to the Netherlands. That isn't one of them.

The petrified wood was a personal gift from United States Ambassador J. William Middendorf II to Prime Minister Willem Drees, given well before NASA ever distributed moon rocks. It was also loose, not in a NASA display. It eventually found its way into a museum with a "moon rock" label, but that was a misunderstanding.

Brief recap: in the image, the phrases "we gave," "Holland", and "Moon rock" are all incorrect. Basically, it's a lie.
Radagast yes there there seems to be some confusion with what took place . Ambassador J William Middendorf did give the Neverlands prime minister a rock in October 1969. This his family donated when he passed away. Though they certainly thought it was a moon sample. But it is much too big when compared with the samples that were being handed out around the world at the time. They were inclosed in plexiglass as slivers of lunar material and generally not given out from the first mission but from latter missions. The geologist that done the testing said that rock in question was petrified wood from Arizona. It’s still not clear why the US ambassador gave the rock if it wasn’t a moon sample. Some say it was done as a joke. But that’s only hearsay. As to the other moon samples that’s all well and good. That is of course if we ever went to the moon.

Sometimes it fades into haze, sometimes it’s a hard line. Depends where you are looking from, the conditions etc. On a flat earth a hard horizon you can see wouldn’t exist, you believe it’s higher at the edges, right? Otherwise you could see the edge I suppose, but otherwise the horizon would just fade into the distance whatever the conditions were.

I presume that there was some personal significance. It would had to have been a low-value gift, since it was going to the Willem Drees personally (not to the nation of the Netherlands). I also note that it wasn't stored in any special way.

If I had to guess, I'd say the connection was the fact that the astronauts trained for the Moon mission in Arizona.

But, of course, after Willem Drees died, all context had been lost, so that's speculation.

... or any of these:
  • sunrise and sunset
  • ships at sea going "hull down"
  • visible curvature of the Earth on land when looking at distant mountains or tall buildings
  • rotation of the stars in the Southern Hemisphere in the opposite direction to the Northern
  • change with latitude in which stars are visible
  • flight times between Southern hemisphere cities
  • flight paths between Southern hemisphere cities
  • pictures from space
  • the sunlight period and area during the Southern summer, including 24-hour days in the Antarctic (as in this picture)

6 times on the moon and not one single filming of the water ball rotating out in space.

And people ask how can a lie that big be accomplished.
Well the reply's here should provide some in site into that.

No questioning only defending, not one single person saying, hey why did they not at least film one time out of six trips.
No but it is read, they were not there to film, they did not have time, they did not have the right film. they did not know etc... the excuses just keep coming.

C'mon, fixating on that is a bit feeble given all of the unanswerable questions about a 'flat earth'. There are time-lapse images of other planets in the solar system you can check out, made possible by the amount of glass and other machinery and tech pointing at them. Or do you believe that only the earth is flat?
