Nope, my belief that earth is a globe is based on simple observations such as how celestial bodies ,ships on horizons and mountains are viewed. Nasa’s Contribution is just icing on the cake.
Simplest explanations are the best .
It is not based on ‘laws’ that require suspension of belief like objects appear different sizes if I’m standing up or laying down.
Objects further away from you dont follow the same size changes as objects closer to you, this was demonstrated in the video (Which you probably didn't watch and refuse to understand)
It has nothing to do with whether your appeal to ridiculousness of laying down or standing up, it has to do with distance away from you the object is.
Ships on the horizon don't go over a physical hump of water where they are obstructed by the leading edge of the earth.
If it was actually physically traveling up to the horizon in every direction you looked, you would be standing in a dimple and your not on a golf ball.
Things appear to go up because they are optically raising, in order for your eyes to perceive depth, where the sky starts to converges with the earth, you encounter the mirroring zone and past that you no longer need to use depth perception - and so things do not optically rise.
Celestial bodies show no parallax, red shift is simply a doppler effect, stars are much closer than you think, the result of sonoluminescence and Cymatics and viewing them is just a result of inverted refraction.
Nasa images are not real, i've seen 100s of examples of how they fake it with CGI, green screens and VR technologies. Rockets don't work in Space and Earth being a pressurized system inside an endless perfect vacuum of space is simply a violation of the second Law of thermodynamic and of entropy.
And the one topic your didn't mention is your faith in Gravity to make it all work out, there is no scientific evidence for its existence - it is actually a pseudo force, it doesnt exist.
You can deny reality all you want, believe you were taught the truth before you were critically able to think for yourself, but sooner or later - it's all going to smack you in your face.
The Occam's Razor answer is the Earth is flat, you need endless excuses of every detail in order to think the spaceball fantasy actually works.
