This is a fun thread where serious topics are being discussed but if people want to add other discussions about religion then why the hell not it makes for great reading and everyone is having a great time except the basic bitches.

this is what an online community IS and SHOULD be

One more derailment if you shall allow it please

The bottom of my screen says "you have insufficient privileges to post threads here"

How does one acquire such privileges

I would have started a separate thread to ask but..........

The Apollo 11 astronauts, in their incredibly strange toned press conference after returning from the moon, all said they couldn't see any stars in space. How the fuck is that possible?
Not really.



"We were never able to see stars from the lunar surface or on the daylight side of the moon without looking through the optics. I don’t recall during the period of time we were photographing the solar cornoa what stars we could see. "

"I don't remember seeing any"

Do you see stars during the daylight hours on Earth? Neither do I. Not that strange.

Ok but show me one goddamn picture where the exposure was set so that you could see them, it should be an absolutely mindblowing photo.
Like this?

Pretty amazeballs if you ask me.

Many satellites are literally suspended from high altitude balloons. The people who make those satellites aren’t in on it.

ISS weighs 419700kg. Pluggin that into https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/helium-balloons shows that you'd need 34 million party balloons to keep ISS up there. It might work.
I've seen ISS through a telescope and it didn't have any balloons or even one giant balloon above it. Maybe they painted it black to absorb the suns heat and stay puffed up.

Yes, what's the image source? Would like to look into it myself.

This is also amazing:



Note that you can only see the stars when you're on the night side of the Earth. When you're on the daylight side, it's too bright to see the stars. Basic photography knowledge.

So Weilthain Weilthain , since I have the oportunity to ask a flat earther some questions, I'll jump on it.

1.) are all planets flat, or just the earth? If just the earth, why.
2.) Why in all of oir recorded history has no one actually (that we know of) visited and documented the edge of the world? Shouldn't planes be able to do this quite easily?
3.) to what end? I mean, why hide that the earth is flat? Who benefits? Who is hurts from knowing the truth?
4.) if the earth is flat why do we have waning and waxing moon? Shouldn't the moon technically at times have a dark elipse in the middle of it? Or is waning and waxing moon also a conspiracy? If so, what is that conspiracy about?

Thank you for answering.

don’t accept that. Many pilots are flat earthers for example. Flying a plane doesn’t prove the world is a sphere.
They have to consider altitude while flying and at some heights the curvature of the earth can be seen. International flights would also posit a knowledge of whether the earth is round or flat.

Many satellites are literally suspended from high altitude balloons. The people who make those satellites aren’t in on it.
Many satellites are in low earth orbit, also do you have evidence that they are currently being supported by balloons?

ancient civilisations studied the stars and were able to predict eclipses and all that stuff without believing they lived on a space ball.

Though it really only mentions the greeks, and indeed there were some civilizations that didn't know that the earth is a sphere, I don't like the claim that a spherical earth is only a recent "invention". Proper astrology and mathematics easily prove such things.

Also, you didn't answer my points on how a flat earth is being covered up and why. How do you consistently cover up such a thing across nations (even ones that are enemies) and what would be the benefit of a cover up?

1)Personally, and I don’t speak for anyone else, I think some of the stars and planets are spherical in nature, but I don’t know what they are are. I think they control our destiny/have deeper meaning that has been hidden from us.

2) I don’t claim there is an edge, maybe there is? The Antarctic treaty prevents us from independent travel to Antarctica. Many flat earthers think that maybe that is the edge but many don’t. Some speculate beyond the ice plains there are other lands.

3) many theories about that. Some are strictly biblical, others are more focused on power and control. If there was other lands, maybe the powers that shouldn’t be want to hide them? This is unknown.

4) the moon is strange. the moon is the only thing in nature that cast a shadow smaller than itself. There is an official explanation but is one I don’t buy and I blame space maths

I will get round answering you Thurible Thurible

sorry to everyone if I’m ignoring questions I have a family and it’s beer time 🍺 just keep asking

I'm not a flat Earther

Thumbs up to your reply. Pondering the flat earth theory to challenge ideas and minds isn't crazy, but rather a healthy exercise. The crazy part is arguing with people with mental health issues who adopted it into their warped minds as a conspiracy theory.

I can see the sun, checkmate😅

I’m not capable sober nor drunk of writing out long form anything that will make sense to anyone especially if they are a basic bitch (that is a joke way of describing someone who doesn’t know the arguments, i get called all sorts of horrible stuff for speaking my beliefs, let me have this) so I will post some of the videos I watch that cover these points.
Satellites

flight paths: this gets the point across that flat earthers make regarding weird flight paths. It’s a little biblical but still fun.

if the earth is curved then shouldn’t the airplane have to continually correct itself down regularly to correct itself if it was going straight? The official explanation is “gravity does it for you so you don’t need to worry about it, it just seems like you are flying straight”


The heliocentric if I remember right was theorised about 200bc and didn’t become contemporary science until 1540s. Older civilisations had a decent enough grasp of the celestial bodies to build around them which still work today, which doesn’t make sense to me if we are moving the way we are told.

as far as the cover up. I’m not going to bring it up. You guys can’t handle it yet. If you can’t get past the moon landings and pizza in space then we are not ready to talk about this yet.

Stat tuned for the next episode of retards in spaaaaacceeeee!!!!

I'll have to watch this again later I'm still at work, but the wording is "...from the lunar surface or on the daylight side." So not visible from either side?

Also, can anyone get me those high res photos of the shit we left on the moon? I asked someone yesterday who brought up that amateur astronomers can plainly see the footprints, flag, etc., but the only photos I've ever seen are low res and you can't make out any specific objects the way you might expect to be able to from high res imagery.

Edit: Like this is all I can find, images like this

Our technology can't do better than this?

Hm? Not visible from the lunar surface (daylight side) or "on the daylight side (in lunar orbit).

If you're wondering about the dark side of the moon, here is a quote from another astronaut.



Avi: : What’s the view from the far side of the Moon?
Al: Avi, there are two things that are important to understand: there’s the far side of the Moon and then there’s the dark side of the Moon. They are two different things. The far side is the side away from the Earth and the dark side is the side away from the Sun. On our flight the Moon was about half lit, so there was about half a Moon.
So there was a little space around the far side of the Moon where I was shadowed from both the Earth and the Sun and that was pretty amazing. I could see more stars than I could possibly imagine. It really makes you wonder about our place in the Universe and what we’re all about. When you see that many stars out there you realize that those are really suns and those suns could have planets around them and all that kind of stuff.

The sky is just awash with stars when you’re on the far side of the Moon, and you don’t have any sunlight to cut down on the lower intensity, dimmer stars. You see them all, and it’s all just a sheet of white.

As you know, we’re part of the Milky Way galaxy and we look at it sideways, we look through it. I saw so many stars looking out that it was very hard to make out anything like a Milky Way. In fact, there were so many stars that I had some difficulty finding any of the 37 brighter stars we used as navigation guide stars because they were so bathed in starlight from all the other stars around them.

I just want to say as well that what I say does not reflect all people who are questioning this stuff. These are my personal beliefs and takes on things.There are so many different approaches to all of this, biblical, conspiratorial, people who just demand actual proof etc


I really appreciate posters like Nymphae Nymphae for sharing their views on this as well. I am learning a lot here.

I am definitely not as smart and I hate to think people will take my words and use them against other posters who may have different views.
