Ok I have three $1million challenges to you then.

I have been working with satellite data for 5 years as an economist working with optimising economic decision making based on Earth Observing Satellite data.

I have contributed to help shipping companies, Farmers and Foresters save millions of dollars annually by using earth observing satellites that can measure height, temperature, colour, etc, of the Earth's surface anywhere in the World every single week. (Using the data to autonomously guide ships where there is less Ice in the water or lower winds, when to harvest and/or water crops, when to cut trees for optimal harvest cycles etc).

If you can either 1: Disprove that the ESA Copernicus Sentinel 1-3 Satellites exist (I would love that since I spend all my time using their live-updated data, I would really like to stop wasting my time…) or 2. If you can show me a way to retrieve the same data, with the same precision, at the same time schedules, without using satellites, as is used in the case studies found in this link. I will pay you $1m per paper (there are 3). I hope you read them as they provide some very useful information.
PS: They are not written by people who care about NASA or maintaining any “government secrets” but by people who would only benefit if the data actually worked.

All 3 papers:

I can send an object up on a helium balloon and have it take pictures as well, I'm not denying that fact.

The fact of the matter is the Earth has never been proven to rotate and no one has ever been able to show 1 iota of evidence denoting curvature.

NASA is a cancerous organization that sucks tax dollars from the American populous.

So

  1. Prove any amount of axial rotation and
  2. Prove any amount of curvature and I`ll tip my hat to you sir.

Also there is a $8,000 challenge open to anyone to prove just that.

Sacred Word Publishing: Open $8250 Flat Earth Challenge to All Globe Earth Believers

You just responded to his challenge by changing the subject. That's what people do when they have lost the argument before its even begun.

@fredrikaa is working at ESA not NASA, there are a lot more space agencies in the world, competing each other.

He just proved you at so many points that flat earth is a joke and you come again with the tax payer thing. Why does Elon Musk do it. He goes private in this with his own money.

I feel like the 1500s, when Galileo Galilei proved this.

I don't know if you are serious or not, and if we are really having this conversation. It is all about physical laws we are speaking, not youtube videos. Also making that post with @fredrikaa being an Nashole, was not very ethical. If we talks science we shall come with mathematical formulas, scientific thesis and laws, not memes offending the others. It might be pointless to try, but I don't agree with the insults. It is not the place for that. And if you would have read carefully, he works ar ESA not NASA. This are two different agencies.

Then why we have the little space there. And on other point, you did not have to insult anyone. To make a point by insulting somebody is called frustration.

Wow. I would have said - please ignore those lunatics. But I stand corrected - great comment!

Well, I have experienced first hand that taking the time to write constructive posts can change people's mind. Whether it be flat earthers or deniers of evolution or climate change.

While it is tempting to just ignore people, I think some of these issues are too important to sweep under the rug. Part of my motivation to start blogging and communicating about science is to help educate after all. I think it is often a lacking educational system, and a media that is very poor at communicating science, that is to blame (Don't hate the player, hate the game huh?). So someone will have to pick up on their slack!

I'm thinking the same. Always keep your cool and come with constructive communication. Thumbs up for the initiative. They shall not be ignored because in the end it will have the snowball effect, like it has now. More and more come with strange ideas.

you don't need Satellites in Space to obtain such data.
high altitude drones and aerostatic balloons are sufficient.
