The universe has been around a long time. The earth a lot less. Humans, a mere slice of that “lot less.”

Some stuff, like constellations, move slowly to those of us on earth. 4,000 years is akin to a fart cosmically.

BTW, there’s no need to put gravity in scare-quotes.

You can verify the inverse-square law of gravitation attractions for yourself. Repeat the Cavendish experiment. No fancy optical technology required ... just a room with no air currents, four big steel balls, a broomstick, and some string.

What monkey, what spacecraft, what launch vehicle. Name and date of the mission.

The answer is we never sent a monkey. Why?

Sorry, a better way to say it would be that the experiment like any other ever tried, showed no movement of the terra. And the ocean part was just a smartass way of saying that a mud puddle, pond lake, or spilled beer will always find level. That’s why we use a bubble level. But, the oceans curve around the ball we live on because of gravity. A bunch of smart people have been telling us that stuff forever, but I don’t believe it. And the more I look, the more I’m convinced.
the earth’s curvature is known. There should be a one inch drop in elevation for every 8 miles squared, yet it’s disproven all of the time.

There is also the problem of reflections on the helmets. Although Stanley Kubrick took great care, occasionally, he would accidentally catch a reflection of the camera crew in the glass on the helmets.

on the Apollo missions, the sun visor was a gold-plated spherical mirror that caught everything that was in front of it. Here you can see Neil Armstrong, reflected in Aldrin's Visor, taking a picture of Aldrin.

BECAUSE WE DIDN’T NEED TO!

We had the Van Allen radiation belts well mapped out already and knew how to go around the worst of them, through the fringes quickly, and not be harmed.

I know it’s rocket science, but if you’re what you seem to sort of hint at claiming to be you already understand that.

Are gasses subject to gravity? Or gasses trapped in a balloon? Serious question.

Do you have any good Bigfoot articles?

You are the one who believes the fairy tale of us flying 238,000 miles from earth, through extremely dangerous radiation belts, into unprotected cosmic radiation from the sun, landed on a rock, took off from the rock, flew back 238,000 miles through cosmic radiation, and then the extremely Dangerous Ban Allen Belts, and none of the astronauts suffered radiation sickness? After only ever going 400 miles up? (Those who did go 400 miles up needed cataract surgery when the got back)

OF COURSE they do. "Level" means "perpendicular to the gravitational vector. That is indeed how a bubble level works. Since Earth is round-ish, "perpendicular to the gravitational vector" describes a sphere-ish, rather than planar surface.

but I don’t believe it.

That would seem to be a personal problem, and suggests that there really IS no evidence, no measurement, no experiment, that would "prove the ball is spinning" to you.

Have a nice day.

Horseshit post. I thought better of you. Sorry to see on FR.

I was as disappointed as you when I found out we’d been lied to…

Every object with mass is subject to gravity. It’s the nature of the beast. Gases are composed of individual atoms and molecules; they’re subject to a variety of forces including gravity.

Serious question: What’s the greatest height above sea level you’ve been?

I think you’re right, they are personal issues, but I would believe if an experiment showed me. Before you go, tell me how astrology has proven that we’re moving.

This "Fake Moon Landing" crap gets me every time ...

Over the decades, thousands of US engineers were in on the "Hoax" (right), we poured billions upon billions for a faked movie (right), the thousands of Russian engineers decided that they were all in on it too (right), the thousands upon thousands of Chinese engineers woke up and also decided they were all in on it (right), and now thousands of Indian engineers are also all in on it (right).

They all wrote fake technical papers trying to one up each other to propagate the "Hoax" (right). The US used analog and 16-bit computing machines, stayed up forever working and toiling to get things just believable enough to propagate the "Hoax" (right). The Russians and Chinese risked life and limb from their task masters to propagate the "Hoax" (right). The Indians are now risking technical ridicule in today's open society to propagate the "Hoax" (right).

But a couple of people on the internet use the time honored research techniques of "Surfing" and "Googling" to find out "The Truth", and all of a sudden we are all being lied to.

(right)

Astronomy.

Not astrology.

Big difference.

The daily, monthly, and yearly motion of objects in the sky, along with the observed illumination pattern on the surface of the earth, simply cannot be explained by a flat earth model. I’ve seen numerous attempts, ewetewb is full of them, and they all fail miserably. Flat earth videos do a great job of disproving flat earth.

Nah. All those astronauts and top scientists conspiring to lie to the world? ..knowing sooner or later it would get leaked and they would get exposed? …knowing they would immediately go from being national heroes to utter frauds?

It makes no sense. NASA wasn’t just made up of greedy corrupt bureaucrats like today’s deep state - it included hundreds of serious scientists who cared deeply about their reputations and legacies above all else.

yes that is what I said. I believe that most people don’t have a background to claim one way or the other. most of us are dependent on other people’s judgment in this area. I believe most Likely the moon landings happened, but I won’t ridicule someone that has doubts. 45 years of time passing obscures a lot of historical facts and if I felt the need to settle this in my own head I could do it but real research takes effort I don’t care to do.

In the past this nutso stuff (chupacabra, chem trails, gold fringed flags, etc) would get nuked by the mods after a while. Maybe the FR mods believe there’s a moon hoax too.

Personally I’m sick of these basement dwellers who insult the memories of the brave men who strapped themselves into those tin cans and rode the fire into space. The skeptics can all go f themselves.
