The trigonometry of what? Do you even know what your talking about - cause that's only half a point but it goes along with your half assed modis operandi.

I assume your talking about Eratosthenes and his assumption that the sun was far far away and it would account for light in cities 800 km apart providing different shadow lengths and of course sun light rays are completely parallel

But of course anyone can see that the light rays from the Sun are not completely parallel, you'd have to be blind not to notice it. They are in fact diverging, and outwardly propagating, we call them Crepuscular rays.

Obviously the picture of the Earth is not a drawing, but I was referring to Satellites and the ISS is not a satellite, The picture is obviously a high altitude plane manipulated with a computer to warp the horizon and then photoshop the ISS in.

If the clouds are only 5 miles high, does the distance between the clouds and the iss look like 330 miles, and why is they 2 points of focus in one "picture" and who actually photographed that - wtf you think an Astronot just flew up there and snapped a photo? Good grief.


And btw , you can see the sun rays are Crepuscular - even before they hit the atmosphere, god damn science. :mad:

In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as Earth's Moon.

Hey dummy - why would they launch any satellites at all on balloons - and actually you can find the logs from NASA that show all these satellites were launched on balloons. Why is there not footage of a satelite being launching in space on a rocket - because it doesn't happen and only in your mind?

Holy shit your stupid - you cant tell the difference between a person and an airplane , no wonder your so eternally confused and blind.

You were told were you - by people , sounds great.

I was told by my friend that when he went fishing up North he caught a 6 footer, usually mentally challenged people like you believe him too.

Why did Neil Armstrong call Nass astronauts a bunch of parrots who cant fly and say that more discoveries await for those that can remove truths protective layer?

Why do some need protection from the truth, dont you already know it? Listen to the parrots all you want.

Why when Werner Von Braun died, his gravestone only said one thing- psalm 19 - which says the firmament proves god handiwork?

Can't tell the difference between a person and a plane? The only thing the satellite sees is the signal from the phone/transponder, idiot. Turn it off, the satellite "sees" neither.

"I was told" is my way of saying I learned from the collective knowledge we as a species have amassed. You clearly did not.

Lol, selective quoting. Psalm 19:1 says: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." Way to omit the first part, Mr Intellectually Dishonest.

So what did they Launch with a rocket - an inflatable balloon! - why did they need a balloon if there is only "micro gravity", why do you they just use balloons now?

Quote

Why is there no more Nasa rocket launches?

How does a balloon operate in a near vacuum? Why arent people going to space yet? Space x promised to build a Disneyland for Space travel - remember they were selling tickets for 100k - hmm wonder what ever happened to that?

Trigonometry is the science of angles and lengths of triangles. Yes, Eratosthenes is who I'm talking about, and unlike you, he understood trigonometry.

No one is saying all the sun's light are completely parallel. But at any given point on the face of the Earth, light strong enough to cast a shadow (like on a clear day) is as close to being parallel as can be.

There should have been tons of satellites that were covering that area, they can photograph peoples license plate of their cars without people turning on their license plate :wacko:
There should have been multiple photos that showed which direction that plane flew into, but i guess they didn't want anyone to know.

That video is so intellectual dishonest because the shuttle hasn't flown in 5 years and if the shuttle is flying at 17,500 mph and how did the satellite fly out of the space shuttle - did the astronauts push it?

And i asked for footage of a satellite being solely launched from a rocket - how you think its done. Obviously, your confused about the differences between a shuttle and a rocket.

Also

The firmament "sheweth" (no one uses this word anymore - it means shows in a past tense) "his" (referring to God) handiwork. so its exactly what i said
Not mentioning the entire quote is not intellectual dishonest - it is just simplifying it to show the important part cause i know anything to complicated you will probably lead to your misunderstand and making a ridiculous assumption.
But Ill can see your just inclined to make SoS assumptions no matter what.

Quote (Santara @ Jan 19 2017 02:47pm)

"There should have been" in both of your usages are subjective opinion. To see a license plate, it has to zoom in. You know, that whole camera zoom thing you're so impressed with. No one knew to "zoom in" until the transponder they needed to find was already off.

All it would have taken is a push by the astronaut, yes. But they much more likely used a thruster on the rocket used for attitudinal adjustments.

You asked for, and I obliged. The second link was a rocket launching a satellite. Less than a minute long even. But don't act like the space shuttle didn't get into orbit with its own rockets.

Who cares if no one uses it anymore? YOU tried using it as some appeal to authority that the father of rocketry was on your side, when NOTHING could have been further from the truth. It was TOTALLY dishonest of you to portray him that way.

They needed a balloon to reflect radio waves. What, you think balloons are only for lifting things? They needed a large, reflective object, like... say... oh I don't know... a balloon! It has nothing to do with helium or hot air balloons lifting things off the ground.


Why indeed. Oh wait... there are? How is this possible?!

Video of the latest launch (December 15, 2016). Satellite being launched on a Pegasus XL rocket.

Look at that amazing photoshop!

The next launch is in February on a Falcon 9 rocket.
https://www.nasa.gov/launchschedule/

Amazing, I know.


It operates the same way it would operate on earth? You have a flexible skin that gets inflated with gas. If you knew anything about physics, you'd realize there's no actual issue here. Besides, we can easily create partial vacuum on Earth and show that balloons inflate just fine in it. Much easier to inflate in a vacuum, actually.
People ARE going to space. Google space tourism. It's just too expensive for the average person.

Space X is a private company, what they promise and deliver has nothing to do with NASA. If you promise to give out a million blowjobs for a nickel each, and then fail to do so, does that mean blowjobs don't exist? Does it mean that nobody else gives or receives blowjobs? What kind of stupid logic is this?

Quote (card_sultan @ Jan 19 2017 06:57pm)

The father of rocketry is saying their is a firmament - the meaning of the entire quote is that there is a god and the firmament proves it - basically saying we never went to the moon - to not realize this is intellectually dishonest.

As soon as the transponder signal was disabled - it should have set off alarm bells - i guess they only work close to shore - hmmm. Its just business and Corporate lies as usual.

Quote (Santara @ Jan 19 2017 03:40pm)

No, the father of rocketry is saying the heavens declare the glory of God, which makes total sense, seeing as his life's work was about reaching the heavens. You're being totally dishonest.
