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.

Interviewer: "You've been there! Is earth really a sphere hanging in outer space?"

Hermaszewski: "Earth is flat, as some expect. I didn't expect this question. I assure you, it's flat."


Food for thought.

What happens when people believe random nonsense on the internet because everyone else ‘must be lying’?

Kind of hard to find a flat earth thread that has not been closed.
From the rocket launch yesterday, they give two views of earth.. So it can not be both, one is a lie.

Flat earth


and a globe earth

Funny, I saw something similar catching the camera transition right at 4:08, I took a screenshot of both camera views. I identified they were looking right at the same spot due to identical cloud formations, except one camera had a curve and the other did not.

I also notice they cut away from the video, of the First stage landing.

That I didn't notice.

My thought was to see if these guys used the same NASA tricks to fake a curve, and then continue to portray that curve throughout the broadcast to demonstrate if they were lying on purpose. And that's exactly what they did. So, now I know that they are just as reliable as NASA in anything they say or do.

It's ok though. The fawners will still eat it all up and ask for more.

Even without pictures from outer space, there are other ways we can confirm that the earth is spherical.

High water tides occur when the sun, earth and moon are in alignment. This causes waters to rise on the side facing the sun and the side facing the moon where the gravitational pull is at its highest. As the earth rotates once during a 24 hour period, this results in two high tides and two low tides each day.

This can only occur if the earth is spherical and rotating on an axis.

So, obviously you've studied the workings of the flat earth paradigm to get a functional knowledge of it, then tested that hypothesis within the paradigm and found it to be nonviable to conclude that it only works under a global paradigm.

Atta boy.

So when you stand out in your garden on a starry evening and look at the seven star constellation (the Plough) and watch each part of it moving uniformly from horizon to horizon, disappearing, and then reappearing night after night, what is your explanation for this?

It was your claim it wouldn't work. I was checking to see if you knew that for sure, or just assumed it.

So how would my examples regarding the tides and the stars work under a flat earth paradigm?

Too funny. This just came up on my feed. It's the cut-away landing.

This loss of signal immediately prior to landing happens with some landings but not others. I suspect it is because the drone ship has to head into the prevailing wind, which can sometimes put the rocket exhaust plume between the ship transmitter and the receiving station (satellite?), so the ionization of the air around the plume temporarily disrupts the transmission.

Just a hypothesis, but it seems plausible.
