No one wants more distant galaxy pics, James Webb! Give us HD photos of the whole globe Earth!

Gonna go check this video out... I'm sure the comment section is going to be comedy gold! :p
Actually, the live feed chat just ended and they didn't record the chat.

I'll have to go over to Rokfin and see if I can find a rerun on a flat earther channel. I know several were going to have a broadcast party of the event. :)
It was hilarious. I got lucky and ran into a few who, along with me, just poked incredible fun at the whole thing. No one got angry or upset . . . it was surprising that we got away with it. Haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Made me realize that much more that CC needs to lighten up! :D

I will say that sometimes people being sticks-in-the-mud, taking themselves too seriously, and refusing to have fun even when you can tell they want to, can be kind of funny too. I just take it all in stride. :) I get the impression you do too.

Here's a freebie. I though of this one for myself. Maybe not the first person to do so, but I was really tickled when it struck me.

Modern scientism says that because the Sun is so far away, its rays must come to the Earth in parallel. This is a major cornerstone of modern scientism; if it is not true, Eratosthenes' work was meaningless. But here's the thing... we can 100% prove that the Sun's rays DO NOT reach the Earth in parallel.

Did you ever build a pinhole camera/viewer in science class when you were in school? This is a simple device for viewing the Sun or a solar eclipse that can be made with a cardboard box, tinfoil, and tape. A pinhole is made in the tinfoil at one end of the box. This pinhole aperture is then pointed at the Sun to project an image at the back of the box, allowing you to view the Sun or eclipse indirectly. It's pretty cool! I made one when I was a kid. You can see images on Google.

Thing is, this device WOULD NOT WORK if the Sun's rays were coming in to the Earth in parallel. Parallel rays would simply come through the pinhole aperture and project a pinprick of light on the back of the box the same size as the pinhole aperture. It is because the Sun's rays are NOT reaching the Earth in parallel that this device works and projects an image that is bigger than the pinhole!

Man, it was such a rush to debunk a dogmatic claim of scientism that has deceived people for millennia! :D
Refraction and reflection poke a fatal pinhole in your hypothesis.

Just watched the live feed. Just wondering how much did that monstrosity cost?
LOL

Well, the first lunar go-cart (I mean Land Rover) cost . . . are you ready? Only $38,000,000. Yes, THIRTY EIGHT MILLION and it had no roof or windows.

The current hoax, therefore, must be in the Billions, if not Trillions. I wouldn't put anything past our "government."

By the way, I put the 38 Million into an inflation calculator and it turns out that that go-cart would have cost us, today, only $287,793,569.48

Want to see some more lunar nuttery? Check out the clip in the below link:

Astronauts on the Moon, Throwing Stuff & Falling Down, Lunar Rover, Moon Buggy - YouTube

At about 45 seconds in, you'll see the "nauts" kicking large boulders around as though the boulders aren't heavy, but somehow, the "nauts" have retained their own personal weight and are able to "stick" to the moon in order to maintain their leverage and natural "earth" strength. The problem is, that weight and strength remain proportional when on the moon. Strength and leverage is proportional to gravity pulling on the nauts. If there was no gravity at all, the nauts would simply bounce off the boulder.

That boulder appears to weigh may three to four hundred pounds? There's no way that a 185 lb man could just kick a boulder and make it move. What's more, one naut kicked it and the boulder changed direction.

Let's do some math. If the moon has 1/6 gravity, then we need to divide a 400lb boulder by .16. One divided by 6 is .16.

So, let's now multiple .16 by 400 lbs, and the boulder would essentially weigh about 64lbs on the moon. That's reasonable. But here's the problem, the 185lb naut, and his gear probably weighed around 205lbs. So, the same math would make the naut about 32.8lbs.

If it's nearly impossible for us to kick a 400lb boulder and make it roll, much less make it change direction while here on earth, how does a 33lb child make a 64lb large rock roll, much less kick it in mid-roll and cause it to change direction?

Keep in mind that a 33lb human is a 3-year-old. What 3-year-old child can even come close to kicking a 64 lb rock to make it roll?

Yes, i was thinking it would be in the trillions by now. It was on the drawing boards and in the experimental stage for something like 20 years ? Haven't looked up Hubble yet but im sure it too was astronomically ( excuse the pun ) high. What a dirty waste of tax payers money.
Imagine how much could have bin done to further the gospel and lift suffering millions out of poverty with that much cash.

Exactly. Just think of what could have been done to resolve race relations, specifically for the beautiful black community.

Yeah, my new go-to line is going to be "Where is that HD photo of the whole globe Earth, NASA?"

For me, until I get that, I am certain I'm being lied to somehow.
The HD concept fully struck me. I see what you mean, now. There are tons of photos of "whole" earth, but they're just so ridiculous! What do you think of the "video" of the live feeds of the ISS? Do they look extremely stupid to you, too? I mean, at night you can clearly see city lights, etc. That seems pretty odd considering the shape of the earth that they are portraying. There isn't enough geographical "land" in proportion to the curve that they're offering. And then as I've stated, if a person keeps watching those "feeds" they'll notice that the shape of the earth begins a Romans 12:2 Transformation right before their eyes . . . turning flat!! And just before the "video" shows the earth becoming concaved, they'll stop the feed somehow. We're being "fed," alright.

Exactly right. The ISS stuff is all fakery. Some of it is a model with greenscreen, some of it is the mockup ISS in the diving pool, some of it probably is selective high altitude balloon footage, and some is likely CG.

I watched a recent ISS spacewalk. The astronot was supposed to be fixing something, but if you watch, he just dithers around and never actually did anything substantive.

Have you seen any of the videos of "spacewalks" where you can see a reflection of a safety diver in the astronot's helmet? Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. And there was that news story about an astronot nearly drowning during a space walk, so NASA was going to start building snorkels into space suits. The official story is that a water reservoir broke. The truth is that spacewalks are filmed in a dive tank.

We already know that astronots train in dive tanks. It's obvious what's going on here.
