tradosaurus is a nothing but a troll

If Eratosthenes assumed flat earth, small sun, and closer sun his experiment would have yielded the same results.

Sure. But only if you use the same locations Eratosthenes used. Try it at different latitudes and the flat earther attempt to recreate Eratosthenes experiment will fail.

That's because the surface is not Euclidean and thus not flat by definition.

A) Simple:  control over you and your money.

How much money do you have and why would anyone want to control your income?

[tradosaurus]

Another question that flat earthers can't seem to answer: why does a flight from Frankfurt to Singapore take 12.5 hours, when a flight from Singapore to Frankfurt, flying over the exact same trajectory takes 13.5 hours?

The real question should be why doesn't the flight against the supposed rotation of the earth ( take less than a few hours since the plane would be flying against 1,000 to 700 mph rotation (depending upon what latitude you were at)?

Why would the plane magically lose the velocity it had on the ground simply by taking off?  What force would cause that?

Good question.  What holds the atmosphere glued to the earth while it is rotating 1,000 mph?  Magic?

I made a huge post explaining why that is not POSSIBLE that you dismissed entirely.
Satellites dont exist? How do you explain this:

The first two were blurry and the rest I couldn't tell you what was being filmed.   I once saw the Virgin Mary in a piece of toast.  Does that count?

[tradosaurus]

Simply, the sun is less than 4,000 miles in diameter and much closer to earth (less than 10,000 miles).  The reason satellites don't see it is because satellites don't exist (google "satellite")

Oh OK, so my satellite dish is pointing at something 15000 miles further out than the sun yet somehow I get TV all day on it without it being blocked by something wider than the Atlantic.

It's called antennas.  Did you know that Italian physicist and radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi succeeded in sending the first radio transmission across the Atlantic Ocean?  It's called the flat earth.

G'day Tradosaurus and welcome to Apollohoax.

Cool picture.

Looking at it, I have some questions.

Could you please explain how the flight time from Sydney (Australia) to Santiago (Chile) is less than double the time from London to New York (14 hours to 7.5 hours)?

Do people in Argentina and the USA see opposite sides of the Moon?

Why can't people in the southern hemisphere see Polaris? Why do we see different constellations at different latitudes?

If the Sun is always above the Earth, how is it that we see it pass below the horizon?

Cheers

NASA was heavily influenced by the NAZI scientists brought over after WW2, with Werhner Von Braun as the lead engineer.

After WW2, Operation Paperclip brought over 1500 german scientists, engineers and technicians.  Of course we know that the Germans perfected the V2 rocket.

From http://www.sott.net/article/257398-The-NAZI-origins-of-NASA
"US President Harry Truman did not formally order the execution of Operation Paperclip until August 1945. Truman's order expressly excluded anyone found to have been a member of the Nazi Party, and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi militarism. Said restriction would have rendered ineligible most of the scientists the JIOA had identified for recruitment, among them rocket scientists Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, and the physician Hubertus Strughold, each earlier classified as a menace to the security of the Allied Forces.
To circumvent President Trumans anti-Nazi order, and the Allied Potsdam and Yalta agreements, the JIOA worked independently to create false employment and political biographies for the scientists. The JIOA also expunged from the public record the scientists' Nazi Party memberships and régime affiliations. Once bleached of their Nazism, the US Government granted the scientists security clearance to work in the United States. Paperclip, the projects operational name, derived from the paperclips used to attach the scientists new political personæ to their US Government Scientist JIOA personnel files. "

Wernher von Braun, a member of the German SS in WW2, was credited for inventing the V2 rocket and later the Saturn V rocket.
Von Braun continued to entertain his engineer-scientist's dream of a future world in which rockets would be used for space exploration. However, instead of risking being sacked, he now was increasingly in a position to popularize these ideas.  In a few years NASA was born.

Thank you for acknowledging the question and responding. However, you have not answered the question that I asked. I asked this:

Can I have that source for your claim that NASA was founded by the German National Socialist party please tradosaurus?

which was in response to your claim that

NASA: founded by NAZI's and continuing the NAZI tradition of lies and deception. 

So again, please cite a reputable source for the claim or withdraw it.

This is my personal conclusion although it is not a singulary held belief.  I'm just connecting the dots.

Yeah, his antenna is pointed at something in geostationary orbit.  It only works when pointed there.  It has NOTHING to do with the ignorant and false flat Earth.
Marconi sent radio across the Atlantic using long wavelengths that bounce off the ionosphere.  The frequencies used in satellite antennas do NOT bounce off the ionosphere.  You are wrong again.

He didn't ask you to connect the dots, he asked for a credible source for your claim. If you cannot provide one, you really need to withdraw your claim.  Nazism is nothing to be flippant about.

Good question.  What holds the atmosphere glued to the earth while it is rotating 1,000 mph?  Magic?

Why don't you tell us all the centrifugal force at the equator caused by the Earth rotating at 1000 mph?

[Peter B]

I'm sorry to upset your belief system (actually, no I'm not. lol).  You BELIEVE that the earth is rotating faster than the speed of sound while hurdling 60,000 miles around the sun, while the solar system is moving even faster at insane speeds with absolutely no proof whatsoever, except that NASA says so.  I think I would believe that Joseph Smith found some gold tablets rather than this fiction.

Just out of interest, do you realise that NASA is not the only space agency in the world? The space agencies of other countries, from North Korea to Israel, all accept that the Earth is a sphere.

For that matter, do you realise that the Catholic Church accepts the roundness of the Earth, and did so even before Vatican 2? But, you know, I'm sure you'd be happy to tell the Pope he's wrong...

Gravity.

So your "religious" belief, then.  Got it.

I'm just connecting the dots.

You were asked to supply facts, not to foist a conclusion.
