and I doubt it

I worked extensively with lasers in grad school

Yeah you didnt go to grad school

I doubt it

it's hard enough to photograph the moon with a telescope because it moves so fast

and to target some small mirror with a laser? highly unlikely. it's hard enough to properly align a laser across 1m for light scattering experiments in a lab

yeah I have gotten off track with what my original statement was going to be

From far away the moon appears to have little to no movement at all

get a P900

You don't grasp how massive things are

try taking shots zoomed all the way in

it moves so fast it's hard to even capture a good shot with a solid tripod

there is readily accessable technology that can track the moon

ok

I have it sitting under my couch

my shots

pretty impressive for a fairly inexpensive camera

so if the earth is flat and the moon was as close as you were implying we would be able to see different parts of the moon from different parts of the earth

I don't know what we would see. it's not a solid object

all conjecture

I'm a scientist

I go by data

and the data support a flat surfaced earth model

What's your proof the moon isn't solid

what proof is there that it's solid?

its not a solid object and there it is reflecting light from the sun though

oh for sure it's not reflecting the sun

any professional artist could tell you that

people have observed stars and planets through the moon

documented since 1700s.

even by royal astronomical society

it's even hinted at in some country flags

hey flat earthers

I'm not a flat earther

just generally curious as to why you believe in the flat earth

well you are...you just don't know it yet
