To those who believe we faked the moon landings and space travel, do you then believe the earth is flat?

Question

If you believe all that stuff is some elaborate hoax, then the pictures of the round earth from space would have to be faked, and thus there is no proof the earth is round, and thus you would logically believe the earth was flat and if you sailed long enough you would fall off the edge, right?

Answer 1

The moon landings were most certainly not a hoax, however, we have other proofs that the Earth is round besides the fact that we have taken pictures of it from space. So your argument is not really valid.

Answer 2

Woah this conspiracy theory still going around??! yes they might have reasons to fake it. But! it was NOT fake! First I'm going to counter all your arguments and then bring some of my own: -multiple shadows: (You really think that in a project that big, they would put on multiple lamps??) The moon's surface has one of the highest reflectivity (Albedo) we know of. Which means that the moon reflects the light very well. (Now you also know why the moon is so very bright at night.) The moon doesn't have an atmosphere. So the light won't get darker if it reflects from somewhere. If you're on the moon, there's light coming from everywhere. If there's a mountain next to you it would reflect the light right on you from there. And since there is no atmosphere, even a reflecting surface that is far far away is still a strong "radiator". This is how you get multiple shadows on the moon. -waving flag: If you look closely you can see a bar holding it up. And it waves since the astronauts had to push and turn it into the ground. So the flag waves because of them pushing it in. Of course there's no wind on the moon, but also no atmosphere which would make it stop waving faster. -no blast crater: there is no atmosphere on the moon. So any dust that the rocket dispersed would fall straight down again. The engine got turned off bout 6ft before they landed. (Imagine if they had kept it on till the landing.. they would never land there. The gravity there is way lower than here on Earth.) -Van Allen radiation belt: about 40,000km which the astronauts crossed in about 90mins, which means they were exposed to a radiation of about 2mSv. Just to clarify this unit [Sv]: In the US the low avarage radiation you are exposed to at work is about 50mSv. You shouldn't forget that the rocket moved passed the Van Allen radiation belt quickly. -bout the clear marks of editing and backgrounds.. i dont really know what you mean by that.Such a poor job: I'm guessing you mean the quality of the footage. Well, you cant expect them to bring huge cameras on a journey where every little bit of mass counts. Now some of my arguments: -400,000 people were involved in this project. So you had to have 400,000 people lying about it. -The rocks that the UdSSR and the USA brought home from the moon have exactly the same composition. (which would mean that even the Russians or the geologists are involved in this conspiracy) -The dust in the videos looks exactly how it should. A perfect balistic arc. (Which they could have only filmed if they were in a almost perfect vacuum) And my final argument: -You can see the landing site from Earth with a good telescope. You can see the flag and the marks the "car" left on the surface. I hope I convinced you now and if not at least some other people that still believe in this conspiracy theory.

Answer 3

I do believe we landed on the moon, but I will play the devil's advocate for the sake of argument.

First, "the other planets are round" does not tell us that the earth is not flat. Round and spherical are two different things; the planets (and earth) could be flat, yet round - circular discs. As long as they always faced us, they would look round. That causes a difficulty with the phases of the moon, but mythology had explanations for that, too.

But coming back to the main point: Even without the pictures from the space program, the earth is definitely not flat. The classic response to that claim is the sailing ship; as a ship leaves the port, the masts gradually appear to sink into the sea as the ship gets farther away along the curve of the earth's surface.

Answer 4

To the pentagon theorist: it wasn't a 747 it was a 757 (much smaller. 757 length 155ft, 124 ft. 747 length 231 ft, wingspan 195ft.) The bodies are of people who were in the pentagon at the time of the crash. 125 people working there at the time died. The hole is exactly the size of a hole caused by a 757. Also what else would it be? A missile maybe? (I work with munitions everyday.) First off a missile would either have detonated on impact or in proximity of the building. The object that hit the pentagon went through ALL 5 SECTIONS of the building. A missile would disintegrate before it made it through one. Was it a penetrating bomb? No, a bomb would either burst in the air, on impact or shortly after it entered the building. What you would see would be a VERY clean hole followed by a HUGE explosion that would have destroyed the entire wing completely. I have personally watch 2000 lb laser guided bombs hit ISO containers, holes were perfectly round the size of the bombs. (About 14 inches wide or so.) The answer to what would cause the damage that happened at the pentagon: a Boeing 757 flown into the side. We have no munition capable of duplicating the damage seen. Another point to consider, where did the 64 people on board go? Also one thing most people don't seem to think about is that the wings of the plane are filled with fuel. See any pylons on a 757? I don't either. No external fuel tanks means ALL of the fuel on the plane is in the wings...thus bye bye wings. Don't disgrace the people that died with your deplorable mind garbage. Stop wasting our time and your own. Thank you. Yours truly,

One other thing, have you ever took the time to touch a plane? Most people usually don't have this opportunity where as I have had MANY. Planes are lightweight and thin. Looking at them it seems like the are about to fall apart in front of you. (They are quite strong to due the materials used though.) An aircraft has A LOT of empty space and very few high density materials. It doesn't take a lot to burn through a plane. (Especially when they are filled to the wingtips with fuel.)

Answer 5

The Earth is the center of the Universe and it is definitely flat!
The seasons, the eclipses of the moon and the retrograde movements of some planets exist just because the gods decided to confuse us. The six months night at the poles is just another of their jokes and it is just by chance that all the living creatures have a DNA code and all vertebrates have four limbs a nervous system and a brain (except a few of us!).

Answer 6

the earth is definitely flat because satellites can not orbit something if it were flat,let me explain. a sphere has equal gravity on all sides but a disc would not. if the satellite were to orbit a disc the gravity would become so minute that the satellite could not stay into orbit. therefore no satellite TV, communications, cell phones etc.
also the earths gravitational feild would not be equal on all side so more ultraviolet rays would get through and we would have more people with skin cancer in the world. the earth would also not be able to orbit the sun correctly either. one last thing, it is imposiible for a large mass to form in the shape of a disc. i could go on for hours but im not. enjoy.

Answer 7

You know there are sattelites up there that take pics too right?
Does this mean you also believe that a 747 really smashed into the pentagon with out a trace>? Not even an impact hole large enogh to have been a plane? How do you explain the fact that the heat from the fires and expolsions could compleatly dissintegrate an airplane and not the bodies? There were bodies recovered.

Answer 8

The moon itself is a NASA hoax, the Earth IS flat, and Elvis is alive and well and working in a donut shop in Cleveland.

Answer 9

yes, the earth is round, and the moon is made out of cheese, and the stars are floating lamps, and fairies exist, and the chicken came before the egg, and Burger-King is better than McDonald's, and i cheated on my girl and on my test too. Any doubts?

Answer 10

The moon landing was faked, and we belive the earth is flat, if you really want us to. We belive in Aistotle (earth is the center od evertything), we don't belive in elliptical orbit, we belive that the pluto is the closest planet to the sun, we belive that you are so out of your mind...

So do you like if i said that to you? people have opinions...try to understand them....
