Another thing. We all can see that the Sun is round, the Moon is round, with telescopes Galileo saw that Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are round – but to these flat-heads, ONLY the Earth is flat.

The problem with this country is that there are too many dumb people living in it – and they voted for Obama and Hillary and Maxine and Cortez.

If they think the Earth is flat they will believe I am a handsome, famous, rich movie star.

Hey I am not always picky, I’ll go for the low hanging fruit.

You own nothing, you have no privacy, there is no freedom, your social score will be recorded, there is no America. The likes of Davos and Soros have their dreams.

Joe: As long as you credit me, and include a link to BtB, sure.

My Father was a Land Surveyor and my G-father was a Civil Engineer (and Land Surveyor). (and I spent a few summer’s being the Rodman.)

Land Surveying is nothing, if not putting square lots, on a round ball!!

Point being, there’s an entire practical Profession devoted to measuring and marking points on the Earth, and it’s round, otherwise the Math doesn’t work and neighbors become irate.

Touch a picture of the Earth on a digital TV. Does it not feel flat?

Kind Regards :)

May I use that on Facebook? It is a great quote.

You are definitely on to something, with your thought!

wodun–
good point. It’s about the same number of people who are actually Nazi’s.

John Conyers –
HAR. Don’t blame the weed for this one! These people are already whacked without the addition of THC. (BTW– Michigan now has the most “liberal” possession amounts in the Country- up to 10 oz’s in home for personal use (and 12 plants)… but if you have more than 2.5z’s, you have to keep it locked up, or it’s a civil infraction)
–I do support this, but our Leader Mastermind’s, haven’t thought this through to it’s logical conclusion. (I’m in Mental Health… (although retiring) and it’s sorta the full employment act for mental health services in Michigan. Nobody really needs to smoke that 30% THC hybrid stuff– at those levels you start to get THC induced psychosis, given enough consumption.) I want it legalized, but its far from an innocuous substance.

Phill O–
absolutely… brilliant!
–tangentially, count me in on anything involving more Cats-In-Space! If they had opposable thumbs, we’d be working for them. (more so than we are now, that is.)

Jason–
yeah… it is! (it’s like’ 15 miles before you get 1 degree of curvature) ((correct me if I’m wrong on that)) Which explains why I can’t see Milwaukee from my house in Michigan.

Edward– that, is hilarious!

Andrew_W:

Apparently, you guys fell off the earth a long time ago!

On the other hand, I live at around 45 degrees north latitude, which certainly explains why the ground here is so steeply slanted.

Within any large population, there are always going to be a few people that believe in some nutty ideas. By leveraging social media, it wouldn’t take too much work to identify people susceptible to such a conspiracy and amplify their voices by several orders of magnitude. Looking at sites such as Reddit or 4chan which are anonymous in nature, any quasi-serious discussion of space, spaceflight or Earth sciences will often very quickly be sidetracked into a debate on whether the Earth is flat or whether all NASA flights are faked. The pattern of how topics get sidetracked into such ridiculous debates always seems to be the same and looks to me to be more manufactured than organic.

Do other’s have the same impression?

Farside–
Good one.

Cotour–
They go back-n-forth over the Dome, silly!

How do they explain satellites?

What are they orbiting?
