Flat Earth

Well FE people don't believe there are any satellites up there.
There's supposed to be like 26000 up there yet there are still black spots with GPS and mobile phones.
They still run heavy cables across sea beds for coms and there are a lot of very large towers around to transmit signals.
If there are 26000 up there as claimed then why when watching the around the globe footage they have of a satellite it doesn't show us even one other

Satellites are owned by a company or a country, you can't just piggy back any one you want.  Not all satellites are GPS, none do phones by default.

Didn't someone fly round the world in a hot air ballon ?

Across the world surely

In a circle according to FE and following a globe navigation

Oh right then so who takes payment for said satellite, makes them and apparently puts them in space?

I just cannot get my head around this, where is the start and the end this is making my head hurt lol.

And mine lol
I'm kind of backing something I'm not even sure I believe but it still intrigues me

[minime]

I'm a open minded type but this just don't sit right with me tbh.

I am interested in why closing ones mind to evidence is invariably described as being 'open-minded'.

[VapingBad]

Just don't get a cab going east or west in the southern hemisphere more then half way between the north pole and the edge or you your in for a nasty shock when it comes to pay jtc

[jtc]

Lol I'll do a runner

[VapingBad]

You could always get abducted by aliens hitch a lift from one of those UFOs

Ahahahahahaha that's one way of putting things and seems to work from both sides.
I think the trouble is working out who is making up evidence and who has an agenda.
My problem is that control from governments and other high powers with them don't usually really care about us.
One example is our vaping and how they are bending all that to suit.
This trate seems very common and I just find myself being very skeptical of anything they do and say

The Greeks discovered that the earth is round by observing lunar eclipses (i.e. when the earth blocks the sun from the moon, casting its round shadow on the moon's surface).

Another method is simultaneously measuring the length of the shadows cast by identical poles perpendicular to a flat surface that is tangential to the earth's radius at various, distant locations. If indeed the earth is round, then the shadows should all vary in length from one distant location to another, which means that the angle at which the parallel rays of sunlight struck each pole varied from one location to another. (recall the alternate-angles theorem from Geometry class) If the earth is flat, then the lengths of all the shadows should be identical when measured simultaneously, since all rays of sunlight that strike the earth are parallel. However, they are not identical, but in fact, varies in such a way that the angles indicate a spherical surface. (This was one of the earliest methods to determine the radius of the earth)

Also, keep in mind the 24 hour time zones. When it is noon in Hawaii, it is approximately midnight in the Middle East and vice versa. How can it be noon and midnight simultaneously? It is certainly impossible with a flat earth and a sun millions of times more massive.

If I were a billionaire and physically fit, then proving to you the earth is round would be no problem. I can just take you with me on the space shuttle and we'll watch with our own eyes the earth from the orbiting International Space Station.

I have heard from astronauts that there is no experience comparable as watching the earth from above.
