Is The Earth A Flat Round Disc or Is It a Round Spherical Globe?

[Paul-R]

Flat Earth compass and the magnetic North star (video).

Why fly vertically in order to reach space in a spherical earth? If the earth was spherical, then we could reach space by flying horizontally.

... thereby ploughing through a thousand miles or so of thick atmosphere at, eventually, 18,000mph. You haven't done your homework, GB. Satellites are only ever going to be visible if they are reflecting the sun, and they are often too small anyway.

Ummm...the space station orbits at about 100 miles up...most sats. are like thousands of miles up, geo sync sats are 22,500 miles up so, since they are ABOVE the ISS, why would you think they could be seen between the ISS and the earth?  Probably the ISS is the only Sat. at that altitude.

Please research a little bit before making such outlandish postings.

The ISS orbits at 100 miles up with a gravitational pull of the earth that is 95%  the strength that  it is at the surface of the earth and you expect it to not fall to the earth.  I don't think so!

The ISS does fall... constantly... 

Fortunately, the ISS is going fast enough that the curvature of the Earth causes the Earth's horizon to fall away from the ISS at the same rate that the ISS is falling, hence the ISS never loses altitude relative to Earth (with the occasional speed correction required).  The orbiting ISS is considered to be in "free fall", which accounts for the apparent weightlessness within the ISS, not the absence of Earth's gravity.

You believe in a lie.  The footage and NASA'S claims are clearly faked!

Let's believe for a moment that NASA and whoever else lies about a flat earth. Let's assume for a moment that earth is flat:

What can you do better than NASA and all other scientists who contribute to building space craft because you know that earth is flat? Can you do better physisc? Can you build better rockets?  Can you come up with a better cosmology?

What are the consequences for your daily life because earth is flat?


To believe in a flat earth must have advantages over beleiving in a spherical earth, otherwise it serves no purpose:

What are the advantages? How is life better for a flat earther? What can a flat earther do better? Can a flat earther calculate the orbits of the planets in a novel and preciser way?
