Once the rope reaches your visual horizon, you will not see the rope extend beyond that point, as it has converged with the ground rising to your eye level. If you leave your perspective, and say move upward in height, you can seek the rope extend even further. This is all in orders with the flat earth model.
Ok I think I see, so you do agree that a laser beam would indeed hit the moon, it's just that it wouldn't look that way to the person holding the laser. But some other person in some other part of the world who could see the moon at that moment, that person would be able to see the red dot on the moon's surface. Is this correct?
Yes. A telescope would make your visual horizon appear further away, making you able to see things that are further away, than what you can with the naked eye.

Yes that is correct.
Would a telescope help?
