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

[d taylor]

Lunar craters were caused by impact with meteors, asteroids and comets. Some of the very oldest craters might have been volcanic in nature. Astronomers have actually observed a small number of impact events in real time.

I was curious to see if you would add in the volcanic bubbles

Because it takes far less mental gymnastics to believe it than it does to believe in a global conspiracy to cover a fact nobody has any vested interest in covering. What's more, that conspiracy has involved billions of people from pretty much every country in the world, many of whom do not get along with each other and for a long time were, apparently, unaware of each other's existence, spanning thousands of years without a single rebel breaking ranks.

Why would anyone believe that sort of conspiracy story?

I know that it is tried to be made out to be this huge task. But all is need is a human population that pays very little attention to this outer space world after high school. And after being told that when you are a child (same age as santa) it is set in the mind really never to be question again by 98% of people. Besides that they are daily bombarded with images of earth space etc.. just to keep them zoned in.

In my post i was not saying i believe they went to the moon, i do not believe a person has been to the moon. I personally believe the highest a person can go is about 19 to maybe 28 miles high

I was saying i believe as in i believe 6 times as opposed to 7 times or 8 times. Because i did not know actually how many times nasa has stated they went to the moon.

And how high do you think the moon is?

That in no way explains why every country is part of this cover up. What's the big, shared benefit to every country? There are currently at least 100 countries with satellites in space. 11 countries have the capability of sending satellites into space. 4 of those have sent (or are about to send) a machine to the moon.

Why this major conspiracy? At the start of the "Space Race" in 1950's USA, USSR (now Russia) and China were enemies, each with the other two. Yet it's your contention that they all conspired to fake satellites and moon landings? They're still not friends, and they have been joined by more co-conspirators who do not like each other. What's the benefit?

Not far, Paul states that God is not far away and God is above the moon and that was back when. people traveled by horse, boat, walked

Money and power, science has no country. It is a unit unto itself

How far, specifically?

To those that denounce science go live in a cave and stop being hypocrites by enjoying the fruits and benefits that science offers through technology.

Why cant computers be real and moon landings be fake?

I mean aside from the particular evidence, but just as a matter of logical principle?

Many advances in computer science were pioneered by the space program.

Which could have happened all here on earth as far as the computers are concerned.

Thats why I was asking as a matter of logical principle, and not as a matter of (faked!) historical record.

Devils advocate stuff.

That's a meaningless, facile assertion. I'd prefer you to admit you have no answer than to continue with this unsophisticated prevarication.

 

[Strathos]

Scientists are the richest people in the world, after all.

Oh wait...

Your science will eventually enslave you or some one like you. If you have died before they will eventually be used by governments. To bring in laws upon citizens because science states people are a threat or because they are not complying to the science prescribe vaccine, or this person actions are harming the fake globe, etc...

 

[Strathos]

Anti-vax too? Should have figured. I guess thousands of people dying from preventable diseases is also just a conspiracy, right?

What did I just watch? First, I don't speak Russian so I have no idea what he really said. Second, he smirked like it was a joke. Third, I thought flat Earth crackpots didn't believe space exists?

Flat earth cosmology concepts is vastly different than heliocentric cosmology. It's not a denial of 'space', just a refutation of the heliocentric conception of 'space'.

Isn't the whole point that "science" has already enslaved the world? The Grand High Viziers are making mountains of money and controlling governments and global enterprises, while somehow managing to remain unevidenced and incognito? And this has been going on for centuries, if not millennia, without a single dissenting voice?

You live in US, how do you explain Trump's defiance of his Masters by cutting funding to science? Is that just a way to throw us all off the scent?

It's not our fault that flat earthers can't keep their positions and models consistent with each other.

 

[Jimmy D]

Flat earth cosmology

Do you care to explain, or present any links regarding, how this Flat Earth Cosmology functions.

You make it sound like it's actually a thing.

Yet you are using computer technology to post this nonsense ?

The proposed NASA Authorization Act of 2018 would increase NASA's budget from $19.5 billion in FY 2017 to $20.74 billion in FY 2018, and again to $21.21 billion in FY 2019.
