Cosmology Debate Thread ("Space Is Fake")

[Get2choppaaa]

Right how is it that you can make calls from the middle of the Sahara hundreds of miles from a cell tower? If you don't believe in satellites you need to come up with an alternative hypothesis for how this technology functions.

Exactly... that's why I do believe in satellites.

Also because I am an artillery man I know the earth is round.

But I still don't think we landed on the moon. Too much Stanley Kubrick action.

The satellites do not need to be in "outer space" to be functional.
They can simply be at the edge of the atmosphere at something like 80,000 to 100,000 feet, or held up by helium balloons.
Coincidentally, NASA is the largest consumer of helium in the world.

As an engineer, it seems like working in the factories where these balloon satellites are made would be a good career. Do you know what companies are making them?

The alternative is to think everyone involved in this (pilots, engineers etc ) are all in on it and are secretly doing all of their work assuming a flat plane earth while pretending to everyone else that they think the earth is a sphere. You could say this is another example of the elites conspiring to present a false reality but the vast majority of people who are 'in on it' wouldn't be elites but just regular pilots and engineers and such.

Not believing in the existence of "outer space" and the theories on flat earth are 2 different things.
Many people believe in both at the same time, but it's not required.
Space can still be fake on a round globe earth....it just means there's some kind of barrier in lower earth orbit.
Commercial pilots fly at about 30,000 to 40,000 feet, which is not even halfway to the 90,000 to 100,000 feet where the helium balloon satellites may be.
