Come on it cant increase the budget that much to tie a video camera on to their machine and see what weird stuff they can film.

I honestly don't understand how this is the case, perhaps you can show me some info that will enlighten me. And why not just take some pictures with Hubble? Some crazy high res shots of the moon landing sites would be very cool.

I can’t get over how Israel and India both had missions to the moon recently, that orbited the earth for weeks getting further away from earth each orbit but didn’t take a single picture of the journey let alone video it.
I can’t get over the fact the basic bitches try to defend this nonsense. The little remote control robot that was supposed to come out once it had landed had cameras on it right?
anyone actually watch these events? I did it was the most pathetic thing ever. I can’t believe anyone could take it seriously. Propaganda at its finest. Not a single piece of real footage from space. Just simulation screens and cheap looking cgi.
how anyone can defend this stuff is a mystery. Yet they are so quick to hurl insults and question my intelligence for questioning it.

Ok, but "we can still see the things we left there" is not a super strong argument then if we can only see some blurry grey mounds.

That isn't a photograph of the landing sites, and peoiple disingenuously argue the point like they can literally see the machinery with their own telescopes. It's grey mounds where they told us they went, show me pictures of the sites from before the landing without those mounds.

I laud the attempt to keep this flat earth crap contained, but I'm afraid it will only keep rising to the top like the hot air of a foul fart, stinking up the off-topic section.
All you need to prove that our planet isn't flat are two sticks and a bit of distance. As already observed by Eratosthenes 2250 frikkin' years ago. He did so by comparing shadows cast on the day of the summer solstice in Alexandria and a more southern city in Egypt. At noon, when the sun was directly overhead in the southern city of Aswan (Syene), there were no shadows but in Alexandria, a stick set in the ground cast a shadow.
From this simple observation, Eratosthenes realized that if he knew the angle of the shadow and the distance between the cities, he could calculate the circumference of the globe. He calculated that the circumference of the Earth was about 40.000km, which still holds true today:
Flat Earth theory simply can not explain this!
You don't need fancy videos from space or whatever impossible requests flat-earthers demand in order to realize that Earth is spherical. You don't need to go to space, have continuous 24/7 4K video streams, camera tricks, plane trips, astronaut accounts or whatever bullshit they claim is necessary to utter and completely destroy flat Earth theories. All you need are two sticks and enough distance. It's sad to see that people from over 2.000 years ago were smart enough to figure this out, compared to nowadays where every idiot seems to rely on fake youtube conspiracy videos.
The sad thing is that no amount of scientific, empirical or mathematical evidence will be sufficient to make them realize their stupid ideas. Which is exactly why there's simply no need to even try, they will only reply with more senseless deflection in order to keep this topic afloat and satiate their delusions.
The simple reason why is because they rely on a simple fallacy called "epistemological contextualism" in order to shield themselves against any kind of argument, no matter how well argued it is. Yes, most of us didn't have the chance to go to space in order to personally witness our spherical planet, but that is not an argument even worth making. Have you personally witnessed atoms, visited antarctica, deduced the molecular composition of water or seen a picture of bosons? Of course not and you don't need to because that's not how the scientific method works.
The thing is, if you warp any given context strongly enough, anything becomes possible and that is the rational trickery that these flat-earther fools rely on. Context shifting is the name of their game and nothing else. You can say that 2m is tall for a human, but compared to a giraffe it's small. It all depends on the context and anytime you provide irrefutable proof that the Earth is round, they will simply shift to another context in order to defend their ridiculous ideas.
Their method is based on an infinitely relative argumentative regress:
These are the very good reasons why we shouldn't keep entertaining these fools.

If you provide mathematical evidence, they will say it "space math" (as that would be somehow different from regular math). > If you provide empirical evidence, they will counter with a low budget sh*tty youtube video that's based on optical illusions and other fakeries. > If you bring up physics, they will say that gravity doesn't exist. > etc, etc...
People need to realize that this f*cking dumb trickery will never end and so their useless discussion keeps going ad absurdum. It's best to just ignore these fools and let this retarded sh*t fade into obscurity because everything else will onyl strengthen their delusions.If you provide mathematical evidence, they will say it "space math" (as that would be somehow different from regular math). > If you provide empirical evidence, they will counter with a low budget sh*tty youtube video that's based on optical illusions and other fakeries. > If you bring up physics, they will say that gravity doesn't exist. > etc, etc...

Yeah and with merely two simple sticks he managed to measure the circumference of our planet. Which is more than anything you will ever amount to.

You can literally see the shadow in the red X well, it's just closer to the center so the shadow is smaller. A well on the right at same distance as the far left one, would produce a symmetrical shadow.

You fail to take into account that the well the far right "red X" is wrongly tilted for the shadow to fall like that. Hence why it's wrong.
Also, you are aware that this is merely a graphical representation, right?
What matters is that flat earth theory cannot explain this observable phenomenon, as correctly stated by Tyson.
Your video is bunk.
EDIT: You can "lol" react all you like

, it won't change the fact that Eratosthenes is still right.

"We can't see the bottom of both wells at the same time. What might explain this? There are 2 possible explanations. First, we could have a flat earth, with a sun that's small and close by so that the light hits the second well at an angle."
If the one on the left is having that shadow produced, a well over to the right at the same distance from the light source would produce the same shadow, symmetrically.

So we need 3 sticks instead of 2 in order to completely refute flat earth theory.

atmosphere, for earth. I think Neil De Grass has said stars would be visible even during the day in space.
the flat earth claim is the iss is a high altitude plane or drone. But I think it is in orbit. Though if rockets have 2~% failure rate it is ridiculous having astronauts fly up there again and again, it is fated for disaster sooner or later.
Can astronauts see stars from the space station?
I've often been asked the question, "Can the astronauts on the Space Station see the stars?" Astronaut Jack Fischer provides an unequivocal answer of "yes!" with a recent post on Twitter of a timelapse he took from the ISS. Fischer captured the arc of the Milky Way in all its glory, saying it...phys.org
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.
on photographs, but supposedly you can see them with the naked eye all the time outside earth's atmosphere.
I think this question from a seemingly reputable source, suggests you need to assume distant sun for erathostene's proof to work.
Assuming that the sunlight comes from a very long distance away, Eratosthenes experiment can be the basis to prove that:a) the Earth is a sphereb) the Earth is not flat c) the Earth rotates around itselfd) the Earth rotates around the sun- Ellinogermaniki Agogi have authored the official schoolbooks for Science in the 5th and 6th Grade of Primary School, and for German in High School.

With just two wells both explanations work, erathostenes only had two wells.
unmanned robots could have left those marks.Yeah it is, it's from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter .

Well they're carrying out 'experiments', if they never do the 3 well experiment their gig is up. Also someone is bound to do the 3 well experiment, if it hasn't been done yet.

the flat earth claim is fisheye lens.
I think there is curvature at such heights but much less extreme.

earlier in the video it looks quite curved. the earth is much bigger than that curve at that height suggests.
I've seen curvature from other high altitude balloons, and the curve is much subtler.
Well the flat earthers claim to be looking for truth and doing experiments. If they're lying they won't touch this one with a ten foot pole. IF not they'll show they are obviously mistaken. Even if flat earthers don't someone doing debunking will.
