I hope you realize that the reason you can't answer that simple yes or no question is because we've hit a logical inconsistency with your model. Usually when people refuse to answer simple questions that logically follow from their beliefs, it's because any answer would be at odds with those beliefs. So they ignore the simple question and just repeat their beliefs with slightly different wording that only tangentially relates to the question.
It's a deflection. And what's worse is the flat earthers' refusal to even acknowledge the obvious absurdity of not being able to answer a simple question like that. Does the laser hit the ground or not? Reality dictates that It's one or the other, yet your belief demands that it be neither.
And we all know that you aren't that dismissive of logical inconsistencies in other parts of your life. It would be impossible to live like that. I KNOW you aren't a retard. Yet for your flat earth beliefs, you happily disregard your deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills, and act like there isn't an enormous elephant in the room.
Problem is that we can all see the elephant. And we know that you see it too, given the deft with which you refuse to acknowledge it. And you know we know. You're basically playing a game of intellectual chicken with the rest of the world, hoping we blink first.
I do not know where the disconnect is, so hopefully this will make you understand how the horizon rises to eye level, as all parallel lines moving away from you converges at a single point.
Then you accept that it reached the moon. So you accept that nothing blocks is path. So you accept that the moon is visible at all times from atop Everest? The disconnect is that you are trying to cherry pick only some of those things, when in reality they all go together.
It's not going "over the ground", it's 6.8 degrees. Is that beam going to touch the ground or not?
From our perspective, the ground and the beam will converge at the horizon.

I have not claimed that the laser hits the ground.
I can make you another drawing, to demonstrate this principal:
