Flat Earth

You haven't made comment old chap about the mirrors on the moon alluded to by Stephen Fry:

'The mirror's existence, and the fact that astronomers can bounce lasers off it and detect the returning beam, has also provided Nasa and other scientists with compelling evidence to refute the claims of moon-landing deniers who claim the Apollo lunar mission were hoaxes filmed in an Earth-based studio.'

But let's not put the fuel ahead of the payload.
There are a few questions the flat earth model has not satisfactorily answered.
Howe ...[text shortened]... be earth model cannot come close to answering, despite all of the money and power in its corner.

Tonight I am going to astral project to the moon and find one of the golf balls. You just see if i don't.

You certainly should play through: there are plenty of holes in the official story...

Which north pole?

Here's a cool puzzle: You are standing on the North Pole. You then begin walking,
heading due south for 50 miles. At that point you turn and walk 50 miles due west,
then turn again and walk due north for 50 miles. Where will you wind up?

You end up completely opposite of the South Pole.

You keep forgetting the earth is flat. 50 miles south of the North Pole, then 50 miles west, then 50 miles back north puts you 50 miles west of the North Pole.

But if the earth is roundish you'd be right back at the North Pole. 50 miles south, then west, then north would be a triangle on a spherical surface, albeit a curved one.

Yeah, right. Earth flat. It's amazing here in century 21 that not only do some weird people believe Earth is flat but also even satellites are faked and that last by every space faring country on Earth. I still think he is just getting a belly laugh out of all this, I don't think he really believes it in a million years, just his way of getting off on our frustrations.

Ooooh, yeah baby.
Show me that pent up frustration.
mmmmm....

Demonstrating that the earth is flat, is an intellectual game played by those capable of demonstrating that their scientific knowledge goes beyond the established, and which challenges the accepted empirically based knowledge and philosophical perspectives. Unfortunately you have specially failed to live up to that ideal.

Listen, numbnuts.
This isn't a esoteric, contrarian intellectual masturbation/karaoke session.
1. Namely, how can distant objects be visible when they are supposedly beyond the horizon to the observer?
.

2., why has NASA lied about the shape of the same?

1. Refraction.
The same well understood optical effect that produces inverted mirages and sundogs.

2. What has NASA lied about? Are you saying NASA claim the Earth is something
other than a sphere? (Don't pull the oblate spheroid or pear-shape story)
