secondly there are several assumptions within it and i can not verify their work

@Cakeeater Orbital mechanics don't work if there is no round body to orbit around, therefore Apollo missions are just shams.

get back to work

@Cakeeater Are you his taskmaster or something?

its complicated

I'm trying to explain to my friend that he shouldn't blindly trust in globeheads. However, he keeps asking me to show him evidence, but doesn't accept anything I show him. What are some more "legitimate" things I could show him?

he wants my attention

beyond official sources such as NASA no idea, maybe disprove counter points

YouTube has plenty of independent researchers trying to spread the truth.

I personally don't trust NASA, but believe we are living on a globe.

Well like he's looking for something like NASA, with the same level of "officialness." Is there any sort of alternative that I could show to someone really set in their belief?

Or is it just a lost cause?

Lost cause unless you can convince them without NASA

Like

Well The Onion is a reputable news source that has reported on it before

The onion?

wait what

Isn't that a satircal news company

Not at all

Though they have slowed down

i thought they were going bankrupt

Are there any specific articles you would recommend showing him?

https://www.aulis.com/apollo17_ascent.htm

I'm sure if the mainstream considers a source reputable he'll at least consider it.

two good examples

Ok, I'll show them to him.
I'm looking for relevant onion articles but haven't found any yet.

Well I could've sworn that they had one but maybe I'm just misremembering

Even then why does it matter if someone believes in the globe or not?

Belief can fuel motivations do advance our scientific knowledge

If we are stuck in the Modern Dark Age where we are lied to by NASA and the rest of the space agencies, then how will humanity continue to move forward

I mean I see humanity on an unstoppable downward spiral.

It will only get worse with the more people that believe the lies

explain GPS

boom boom there you go

I'm kind of a optimistic nihilist, I guess just by convincing people I hope I can help the greater world improve.

It won't solve the human condition though. :/

what about in the ocean
