i just want to say, that is a great name
and prior to now, there has only been supposedly like 500 people to ever goto "space" and of those only like 20 went to cis lunar space
I'm not aware of cis lunar space.
a small amount of people compared to the 100s of billions of people to come cradle to grave on this earth
so could 500 people lie. YES
cis lunar space is the space between earth and the moon
well
Oh that's what you mean.
techincally everyone been between the earth and the moon
LEO is low earth orbit, thats not space
cis lunar means beyond LEO
:>
which is a certain amount or miles
dont recall wehn LEO ends
Let's take another step back then from space and the outside of the earth. There are things about earth that itself suggested that the earth was round before anyone even went to space.
Do you know any of these?
yes
Okay?
which would you like to discuss?
sticks? or more complex things like retrograde motion?
i like sticks
lol
I don't think it would be worth the effort to go into anything else just based on your former sentence.
probably
this is a debate channel
what things tell you that the earth is a globe?
things we can directly observer and count as evidence
boats over horizon? thats just how light works. shallow angles of light will become unresolvable at .02 degrees, once the angle is shallow enough, that light just appears to be a line or edge.
eratosthenes sticks? well ihe made 5 assumptions, none of which were accurate. he assumed the earth is round for one. if he assumed the earth was flat and the sun was closer, he would have come upm with similar results mathematically
no one has ever measured the radius of the assumed globe
If things we directly observe count as evidence, that would make the earth a globe by default.
it would, but we dont observer a globe, we observe a flat level plane.
the globe is a simple model, it assumes a bunch, then because of optics and misunderstanding of technology, everyone thinks is easily proven a globe
the world is very complex
I'm confused then, why is everything else dismissed when it is done on earth?
whats dismissed?
nothing is dismissed.
