    Dedicated flat earthers have elaborate explanations for everything, including why ships appear to disappear when they sail away from the viewer, photographs of the earth from space, and time zones.

    They have especial trouble explaini ...[text shortened]... or a laugh to read their web site and their forum posts. de ja vu some of the posts here at SF !
    what about the part where we can see the whole Earth from space, as in the famous picture of the Earth taken from the moon? You can see it rotate and such.

    Same effect takes place if you use a telescope. It's a line of sight thing. Besides, that defense was already claimed🙂

    I think all that astronaut stuff is a hoax. There are a few people who claim to have gone to space. Do you believe them? I don't.

    Ah, devil's advocate. Ok. More than a few. A dozen people walked on the moon. And they have been regularly rotating ISS crews. You can see some of the zero gravity experiments that show a length of time much greater than you can ever achieve with the vomit comet. Like the water wringing rag experiment done recently by that Canadian astronaut, Chris Hatfield.

    If you haven't seen it, watch it, very entertaining. For instance, try having an unsupported microphone floating in front of you. But watch the water wringing experiment.

    The whistle-blowers were dealt with and "accident" cover-stories invented.

    I would like to hear THEIR response as to why you can't see people or boats at eye level for more than a 6 miles where they disappear below the horizon.

    Don't see how they can account for that fact in their fantasy world.

    The official (and yes, it is official!) answer is: "Arrangements are made."

    Great A'Tuin's been known to munch on the odd passing comet...

    Like a video proves anything. I've got videos of people getting beheaded with lightsabers and objects flying through the air through telekinesis. All that means is that we're really good at making videos that fake certain happenings.
