The new Lockheed SR-72. Travels 4598 mph. Has to drop over 3000 feet per second in order to not fly off in to space (youtu.be)

You don't understand the concept. Aerodynamically a plane is not designed to conform to the shape of the earth. So a plane going 4000mph would have to "drop" 3000 feet per second to not go flying off into space.. So either the pilot would have to constantly need to be pushing the nose down at a ridiculous rate or... Earth is not a globe. Earth is not a globe.

Are you a pilot? To be fair, I've only flown small planes, and have never been in the left seat of what's essentially a manned rocket. As for 'official' instrument flight (versus VFR), I've only done that on a computer.

The controls used to adjust altitude are the same, whether you're looking out the window, or down at your instrument panel. To maintain any particular altitude, you essentially point the airplane at the horizon and it happens "almost automatically." There's also a 'trim wheel'...

Trim tabs have been used in airplanes for decades. Typically found on the outer edges of the ailerons, rudders and elevator, they live up to their namesake by allowing the pilot or pilots to control the airplane's trim during the flight.

On small airplanes, there's a literal wheel on the panel that you turn to adjust the overall shape of the wings. Turn the wheel to adjust the tabs up a bit when you want to climb, down when you want to descend.

When you're flying so fast that straight line flight could take you out into space, you again simply set whatever kind of trim tabs they have on that thing downward to maintain your altitude. It's a normal part of flying, even in something that fast.


I've had many extended exchanges with the flatters, as I do have an interest in uncovering beliefs that may be wrong. America doesn't really have much of a history with trolls, giants, and dragons, so I don't know much about those.

Part of my reply on another site earlier today to a guy who says he won't disavow the kabbalah, flat earth, and a bunch of other stuff, because he wants to keep an open mind. Are there any other alternate realities you believe in besides flat earth?

I'm thoroughly convinced NASA is 100% full of shit. Alright so let's just start with that. Space travel is horseshit bogus. So then let's question everything NASA shows us, including pictures of earth as a globe. All that is bogus as well because NASA going to space is not trusted.. so here we are, unable to see the globe from space. We are back at square one. What do we have tangible? We have textbooks teaching us the copernican model explaining how the math and experiments with shadows etc "prove" earth is a Globe, however these are all made with assumptions about the suns distance from earth. This is not measurable, and the NASA puppet show surely hasn't been there. Despite me being able to see much further than I should for a standard globe model, there's a possibility it's not flat, sure. However the lack of parallax in the night sky (and no star trails overlap ever), I do not believe the earth is spinning, and in fact it is the rest of the sky that is moving. However I'm not inclined to this theory because horizon lines always remain at eye level, which would change at least somewhat on a ball at higher altitude.

How many of us do you think aren't in on the hoax, either as a percentage of earth's population, or in raw numbers.

Let's use the imagination. probably 200-300 people in the full know and orchestrating everything. This could be like ten groups of twenty people, or 30 groups of ten people (teams) all with their own specialties. Writers/story telling gurus , science theorists/consultants, engineering specialists, news/pr specialists, human resource specialists, education specialists (crowd source smartest kids on the planet how to make a rocket fly through space to Mars on paper agreeing with all assumed math), project managers, foreign consultants, a treasury department, strategists, visual and artistic department etc. All these teams have their own teams of people not in the know (example the welders, fabricators, engineers, artists, etc, the janitors). I would guess like I said 200-300 people, and probably another 2000-3000 (may be much higher) performing sensitive work and likely could be suspicious or know and they don't care and just want to get paid, scared etc. The majority of NASA employees likely not in the know. Astronauts definitely paid liars. The total number of individuals indirectly helping the cause I would guess is over a million people.

Look at their post history.

It’s literally all flat earth, all day, every day.

They have an agenda.

And that agenda is to make flat earther synonymous with conspiracy theorist.

People use the word “shill” a bit too liberally around here.

That user is absolutely, positively, unironically a shill.

Maybe, but I've found some pretty dedicated flatters on other sites too. A few years back, there was a guy on voat claiming to have been part of an original group who started (restarted?) the flat earth joke. According to him, they ended up dropping it after too many people took it too seriously.

It seems too crazy to think anyone actually believes that, but if you've been into the depths of the internet you've seen some seriously disturbed people. Some of those people might make great shills though.

By all means, go right ahead.

I’ve never deleted anything.

I want you to know exactly where I stand.
