The Seed

[Apple Sky]

They of course don't say we've NEVER left low earth orbit, so another lie from you, or at the very least repeating another person's lie.
He says, "right now, the furthest we can go is earth orbit", because until SpaceX developed Super Heavy, there was no rocket since the Saturn V that could lift a spacecraft complete with life support systems out of earth orbit. He describes the SLS rocket that was being developed by NASA, but I think Super Heavy has surpassed that.
The Apollo missions went beyond earth orbit to the moon 9 times and landed on the moon 6 times.

He also goes on to say, 'as this will allow us to explore the Moon, Mars'.
There is also a video of Obama saying, ' right now we can only fly in Low earth orbit ', I will try & find the video.

 

[Apple Sky]

For most of them it is true, but some are too big and have to be steered to plunge in the oceans.

Or peoples back yards with a balloon still attached to it.

 

[Apple Sky]

It seems to me that your only reason for saying that the images are CGI or taken with a fish eye lens is that you don't believe what they show.

True, I don't.

 

[David Lamb]

True, I don't.

So you don't believe that the photos can be genuine because you don't believe what they show. But that is circular reasoning again - you don't believe the photos are genuine because you don't believe what they show, but you give the supposed fake nature of the photos as one of your reasons for not believing the earth is a globe.

"Right now"
SpaceX didn't have Super Heavy developed during the Obama administration. Development by NASA on the SLS began under Obama but didn't actually launch Artemis into space until 2022.

You really should get checked for dementia.

Sometimes they miss. Bits of Skylab ended up in Western Australia

I know, but it didn't stop Obama saying what he did.

I've forgotten, What's dementia ?

Any honest person would admit the two created images of the moon are not the same. The dark spot is not even close to being the same.

Here is another version

And another trying to show the far side in a crescent phase.

 

[Hentenza]

You'll either smash into the dome or you'll fly onto more unknown land just as Byrd did.

No dome. So where do you think this “unknown” land is? After all we have explored every single continent in the world so no more unexplored land exists.

The firmament/dome is the reason why astronots can only fly as far as low earth orbit.

Really? How about all of the probes, orbiters, and rovers that we have send to Mars, like Viking, Pathfinder, and Spirit? How about Pioneer and Cassini orbiters that we sent to Saturn?

So now the moon doesn’t exist either?

Your having a laugh - Really

 

[Apple Sky]

Nothing to joke about.

I know, Sorry

 

[Hentenza]

Your having a laugh - Really

Nope. Being very serious. So do you have an answer or just a deflection?

 

[Apple Sky]

Nope. Being very serious. So do you have an answer or just a deflection?

Yes -Nonsense.

 

[Hentenza]

Yes -Nonsense.

Unfortunately for you there are still orbiters in space relaying data back to earth like the Viking probe. As well as MRO and Maven on Mars. The nonsense is you sticking your head in the sand.
