Doesn't last very long. Lets get it sustained then you have more evidence.
Given that the two of us don't agree how distance works, I don't think we can have a meaningful discussion about science.

The distinction between a fusion bomb and sustained fusion in the form of a star, is simply the mass of available fuel and the use of gravity to trigger fusion.

The countries of the world? Have you even bothered to look at the photographs?

Exactly

The "countries of the world" are mostly hidden under a swirling mass of cloud. Even if they weren't, the Earth and satellite would almost certainly not be in the same relative positions when the photographs were taken. In the extreme case, a satellite parked directly over the north pole would take a completely different photograph from one parked by one parked directly over the south pole, but that would in no way justify you in claiming that they weren't both completely accurate photographs of the Earth.

So you believe the countries can shrink and grow, but the size of the Earth-ball stays the same?

Hey, to each their own, but I don't call that thinking, nor science.

I think the angle from which you view something makes a difference to what you see. That's what I think (know actually).

Sure, we will believe anything - or, rather, you will.

One other thing.


I grew up with computers, they've been my life since MS DOS and I've dedicated my professional career to Information Technology.

I studied Information Technology and Computer Science and I'm an avid PC gamer and have played computer games from the 1980s all the way up to today.

I have a massive collection of games spanning all the years.

It would be wise for anyone who believes NASA imagery of earth to first study the history of silicon computer processing technology.

The progress of silicon processing units.

The progress of "code" from operating systems to software.

The progress of digital computer graphical imagery.

The history of 2D-3D graphical rendering.

The progression of screen resolutions and the advancement of it's technology from analogue cathode to digital LCD and digitally beyond.

The progression of graphical processing chips. Intel, NVIDIA and AMD.

The progression of graphical processing chips achieving real time rendering from 10 Frames Per Second all the way up to 144 Frames Per Second, and the advancement of 2D-3D images for the human eye.

The progression of Microsofts DirectX API and Open GL.

The progress of two independent 2D digital screens to produce Virtual Reality


UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE I'M AFRAID IT'S YOU WHO WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING SHOWN TO BY NASA ON A SCREEN

...the sources of revelation clearly say the earth is stationary.....
Some things in the Bible were written according to the understanding of the times, and are not literally correct.

Seems a recipe for brittle faith to demand reality conform to every aspect of these ancient writings.

Well bully for you. I can remember perfectly well the days when it was normal to program a PC running MS-DOS in assembly language. I can still do it with their 64 bit successors, although, of course, the 8254 chip has been succeeded by the HPET; the 8259A by the APIC, and, more recently, by MSIs. Naturally, it is more common nowadays to program in something like C, C# or PHP, depending upon the context.

The questions would be, what is the point of faking a global earth if it is really flat??

If the earth was flat, a 12 hour commercial flight would have a massive difference in distance traveled as compared to flying over a curvature, unless the instrument on board every aircraft is rigged,....and all this cover up to serve what purpose?
