This is the insidious dishonesty of conspiracy theorists. They mix lies with facts, and take info out of context to create a narrative. They use people's ignorance to their advantage. For example, the pictures. They call satellite pics of earth "digitally manipulated/created". This is technically true. Only Apollo missions have gotten true photos such as the famous "Blue Marble" picture taken by Apollo 17 and "Earthrise" taken by Apollo 8.

Modern pics of a full Earth are stitched together from multuple high orbit satellite photos, which explains the distortion of landmasses. Conspiracy theorists will use this partial digital creation to accuse NASA of "faking" the imags outright.
This is a digitally stiched image

No stars or satellites in any photo ever

Youre talking gibberish

That line you see is the FLAT horizon

The limits of your eyesight will always keep the horizon a fixed distance from you no matter where you are

Now please stop quoting me with nonsense

If you wanted to actually learn about flat earth youd actually read my posts for comprehension


But that's totally totally wrong. A flat plane would not suddenly terminate in a horizon unless you were looking at the edge of the disc.

In what other scenario does your eyesight run out when you're looking at something a certain distance away?

We can see other galaxies with the naked eye. They appear as fuzzy dots of light but they are visible. Eyesight doesn't run out at a certain distance

You dont know how the horizon works

You also dont know how eyesight/perspective works

Please stop quoting me. Youre way out of your element and i already consider you to be a pretty low quality poster so i have no interest in teaching you anything

:russ:Doing exactly what I said you would.

Mixing lies with the truth and deliberately misrepresenting facts

Admittedly photoshopped "Blue marble"(perfect sphere) :hula: "Pear-shaped oblate spheroid"
It's not a perfect sphere. The Blue Marble shot is NOT digitally created.:facepalm:. The modern pictures are not "photoshopped" it is digitally stitched from satellite photos. You imply a conspiracy and malicious manipulation where it is not present. Disingenuous.

Capitalizing on potential ignorance of the audience to create doubt.
No stars or satellites in any photo ever
:dwillhuh:You blind? There are stars in both of the Apollo photos. It's called photo exposure. The Earth is too bright for a long exposure shot that would show dimmer stars, so only the brightest are visible. Don't know how cameras work, brehs.

Gibberish

The stars literally scientifically should be at their brightest in "outer space"

By your logic the Hubble telescope should be absolutely useless in "outer space"

Mr. Blue Marble, Robert Simmon of NASA admitting that he photoshops ALL images of earth

Just stop

This is getting pathetic

Pretty convenient.

"You don't know how this works" with no explanation

The ironic part is your whole worldview is based on not know how things work

But instead of making that simple statement I go further and explain how it does work.


For instance...

If the horizon is supposed to be the limit of your vision, what about things like mountains that a high enough to be seen past the horizon.

The clouds don't go invisible right at the horizon. There are visible clouds from where you are that are farther away than the distance of the horizon

And what about stars that are light years away? We can see them.

The eyes simply detect light. Light can travel pretty far. We haven't found a limit to it yet. It doesn't seem to slow down or stop ever. So whatever distance it is to the "edge of the flat disc"... You'd be able to see the plane extending all the way out to the end.

Same way you can see Jupiter which is much father away

Easy answer to a question that's been asked and answered many many times.

This extremely basic Fisher Price question has been explained to him many times. Quit debating with trolls/the mentally ill
