So unless we are now going to extend the conspiracy to every single government agency that has sent a satellite into space as well as the private company Space X.... we should be able to say that the earth is round by now...

Have you seen this yet? Two cameras on the external portion of the SpaceX rocket. They display side-by-side, one showing a curve and the other a flat horizon. So, we know at least one of the cameras was manipulating the view.


Except it isn't at all flat in either of those.

Cmon, even amateur rocket enthusiasts have observed the curvature of the Earth.

I don't know why people waste so much effort trying to convince people that blue is red when we can all clearly see from multiple sources that it's blue.

There's literally nothing to gain from lying about the shape of the Earth and if anyone remembers anything about gravity from school even, flat planets are impossible.

Actually, it is, and common sense should tell you that if both cameras are they are taking simultaneous video from the same height, there should be an identical horizon shape at all times.

If the earth is flat, it's not a planet as we define them.

Are you saying that you believe that the Earth is flat?

I've watched every single SpaceX launch live. I've never seen a flat horizon and every single launch, including these ones, are available on their YouTube channel to view from preparation through launch, payload deployment(s) and experimental or successful landing attempts.

It's all right there to be seen.

So what you're saying is that they spent all this money to shoot a rocket into space and then forgot to edit one of their videos before posting it online?

What I'm saying is they had 2 cameras on the rocket, each giving a different shape of the earth.

So your conclusion is that they put on one camera that puts on a fake image and one camera that puts on a correct image?

My conclusion would be that they have different lenses.

Exactly my point and one of them on the rocket is obviously exaggerating a curve greatly. So, when they are taking their pics, how can one honestly claim it's a valid representation since it can be shown there is potential for manipulation.

You can see for yourself they are different images. Decide for yourself as to why you think they would do that.

I would say that it is propably a plot by satanic agencies and the catholic church to cover up the existence of the flat earth. A round earth allows people to believe in a material universe and thus shun god, damning them all to eternal hellfire.

I couldn't care less, a lens will distort an image, it's no secret. It doesn't mean that the Earth is flat, we have been mapping, exploring and increasingly travelling around the globe for many, many centuries. We have had the maths to work out the size of the globe for millennia, we routinely send stuff into space to orbit the Earth.

In the scheme of things your 'video evidence' is the equivalent of finding a ring pull on Everst and claiming that the Himalayas are made from aluminium.

Again, I didn't say the earth was flat. I said there is ample evidence for the SpaceX footage to know objectively there is the real potential for the manipulation of the photos they generate. Their own footage I presented shows that, and that pertains to the claims of the OP.

Go have your flat/round earth argument with someone else.
