Ha! very funny, is this the best they can do :tearsofjoy:

What is funny about it? Its quite complicated to send a probe to moon that is able to scan the surroundings, receive commands from Earth and send some data back to Earth.

Any nation that is able to do that proves its top technological development.

This probe was basically dead and suddenly started to work a bit again.

Oh dear, it looks as tho the none existent Antarctica ice is melting. :eek:
NON existent Antarctic ice??
You, yourself, said that Antarctica is surrounded by high ice walls.

Well I don't invent lies for one & no I am not dumb.

The curvature of the earth has been proven to be lie many times.


The earth supposedly curves 8" to evey mile.
So just before the 7 minute 30 second mark, they get a clear shot of Chicago from 42.6 miles, except all they can see over the horizon is the tops of a few of the tallest towers. Why can't they see all of the Chicago shoreline if the earth is flat? They've zoomed in, and according to you lot the whole city should be visible.
According to the earth curve calculator, at 42.6 miles, from eye level up on the deck of the boat (lets say 15 feet), approximately 956 feet is hidden behind the horizon. Since the Willis Tower is 1451 feet tall, that still leaves about 500 feet of the tower still visible which looks about right from what they see from their boat.

Congratulations. Rob Skiba has proved the earth is a globe less than 8 minutes into his video.

The great circle routes for Sydney-Santiago or Sydney-Johannesbug take them close to, but not over Antarctica. To divert over Antarctica would take longer and use more fuel.
Don't you see what you posted? If the earth is a globe why is that flight path as such??
Isn't the shortest distance between two points a straight line?
Should not that flat path be straight across?
Dear one, please look at that same flight path on a good flat earth map and you'll see the truth.

And no one has circumnavigated the globe from north to south or south to north,
because it can not be done, the earth is not a ball, we are under a dome.

Two solid proofs you can do:

1. A social experiment:

Next time you wake up in the morning, (assuming your in America) sometime from 7 to 10, look up and see if you can spot
both the sun and moon in the sky. Often times on a clear morning you can.

Then have a buddy in Australia on hand, call that person and ask them what they see in the sky,
it would be night for them and ask if they can see the moon, and both of you take pictures of what you see for proof.

If both you and them can see the moon, what is going on?

Either the earth is flat, or what?

2 A science experiment:
Take a gyroscope with you on a flight from America to Australia and measure the amount of curvature you went around.
You will measure Zero curvature.

On a curved surface, the shortest distance between two points is an arc. If you go to the website and rotate the globe so the two cities are opposite sides of the centre, then it will be a straight line. You fail at junior hugh school geometry
Dear one, please look at that same flight path on a good flat earth map and you'll see the truth.
There are no 'good' flat earth maps. All that you people ever provide are projections of globe earth maps
And no one has circumnavigated the globe from north to south or south to north,
because it can not be done, the earth is not a ball, we are under a dome.
Adventurer and entreprener Dick Smith circumnavigated the globe via the north and south poles in 1988-89

What?
The arc shown is bigger than the arc would be between just the two cities, going the bottom way.
Clearly going just straight from city to city would be fastest.

"it will be a straight line" Not the flight path, I don't know what 'it' your talking about,
but anyway you slice it that flight path is not a straight line on the globe, neither is it the shortest arc on a globe.

The path makes sense on the united nations map even, in reality the path is a straight line, given the fact that the earth is flat not round.

The paths are much longer on the flat projection used by the UN symbol map and not at all consistent with the flight durations, which correspond exactly with the great circle paths on the globe.

Adventurer and entreprener Dick Smith circumnavigated the globe via the north and south poles in 1988-89

Here is his flight route;

Route: North Pole – Nord Base, Greenland – Svalbard, Norway – Norway – Helsinki, Finland – Leningrad, Soviet Union (now St. Petersburg) – Kiev, Soviet Union – Odessa, Soviet Union – Istanbul, Turkey – Limassol, Cyprus – Cairo, Egypt – Khartoum, Sudan – Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – Nairobi, Kenya – Serengeti, Tanzania – Lusaka, Zambia – Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe – Cape Town, South Africa – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Santiago, Chile – South Pole.

Nord Base, Greenland to Svalbard Norway, is a right turn, not a circumnavigation of anything.

No one has circumnavigated the prime meridian. What they have done is nonsense to fool people who are not paying attention.

For Dick's flight to be anything he would need to go from Nord Base, Greenland up through Greenland to the other side
crossing much ocean to reach Antarctica and then the southern continents. His flight path shows what he did.

I'm talking about the flight path of Johannesburg to Santiago.

Your now showing just Johannesburg to Sydney and then Sydney to Santiago separately.

Look at your original image dear one, there should be no need at all whatsoever to even go to Sydney!

They stop at Sydney because in reality, on a real map, one can see that the flight is actually long, and they have to stop to refuel in Sydney,
the whole thing is one straight shot, from Johannesburg to Sydney to Santiago, on the united nations map even,
on a good flat earth map it will be an even straighter line, all three points.

I'm not aware of any direct flights between Santiago and Johannesburg

Whereas before I had shown two different flights from Sydney to other continents in the Southern Hemisphere so that I didn't have to post two images. I've now posted them separately as it seemed to be too much for you to comprehend.
Look at your original image dear one, there should be no need at all whatsoever to even go to Sydney!
I was posting flights between Sydney and two other continents. I was saving time by posting both flights on the one image.
They stop at Sydney because in reality, on a real map, one can see that the flight is actually long, and they have to stop to refuel in Sydney,

Hopefully you now understand how foolish your response has been.

In 2019, another group set a world record circumnavigating the earth via the poles in under 47 hours.

This is the image you posted before:

JohannToSantiago.jpg


One entering Johannesburg to Santiago will get the above as one of the flight routes.
It makes no sense at all whatsoever.


Here is the route from flightconnections . com

johanntoSantia.jpg



For a trip from Johannesburg to Santiago only 1 out of the 5 routes given makes any sense.
This route is the most crazy, and only makes sense when one realizes the true nature of the land.

Most of the routes go up to somewhere, then back down to Santiago.
Out of the 5 routes given four take 25 hours, and the one, that we can also see in this image,
the one seeming to be what we would expect takes 14 hours.
Why do the other routes exist at all? Shouldn't every flight between the two places be that general straight shot?
And then trying to actually book that supposed straight shot route is another thing.

Also none of the flights are a straight shot, they all include stops.
If they can go from Johannesburg to Sydney without stopping,
how is it that they can't go from Johannesburg to Santiago without stopping!?

And in the text of the post that went with the image I specifically stated flights from Sydney to Santiago or Sydney to Johannesburg. I never said Santiago to Johannesburg. Do you not understand this?

Airlines only have direct flights between distant cities if it is commercially viable. If there aren't enough regular passengers to fill the airplane then they won't have direct flights because they will be making a loss. Hence, why you have flights with multiple stops and flight changes.

A 25 hour flight is more "commercially viable" than a 14 hour flight?
They are stopping to pick up more passengers, that's your assertion?

Even the 14 hour flight includes a stop, would not the most viable thing be to just go straight to the destination,
going to Sydney, to pick up passengers, is a longer distance than just going straight to Santiago.
And any commercial bottom line is money, a 25 hour flight costs more money than a 14 hour flight,
and not stopping would cost the least amount of money. They have to stop, because they have to refuel.
Look into it, even the 14 hour flight, it's a certain kind of plane, they stop, fill it to the max, and use all that fuel to get to Johannesburg.


It is clear from all the images, that a trip from Johannesburg to Santiago, should be the same relative distance as a trip from Sydney to Santiago. Yet you will not find any direct flight from Johannesburg to Santiago. That is the point. The earth is as the Bible describes.
