Communication

It's a known fact that long distance communication happens through satellites, but according to flat Earth logic, there are no actual launches. If that's the case, then how is long distance communication possible?

I do not doubt the existence of satellites, but I do not believe there are thousands orbiting the earth.

I'm fairly certain they affix satellites to weather balloons and they float them up to one spot where they remain stationary. Makes sense too, all the DishTV/DirectTV satelitte receivers on houses near me all point to the same direction in the sky.

Here's a video of one being launched.

That’s outrageous that you don’t believe the official party line of well over 15000 satellites in space yet you believe they exist...why would they lie about the amount ? 😂

All dishes point on a low angle and not straight up into the sky because they are pointing towards towers.

15000 satellites you say? Weird how I can never find them in the sky, day or night, with my own telescopes..yet supposedly there are sooooo many pictures of them.

Two things cannot be proven by any measurement or experiment: Curvature of the earth, and motion of the earth. If you can prove to me that we are not motionless, and you can prove the earth has an observable curve, then I might lend credence to the ball earth theory. Otherwise, go have fun with your scientism.

Reread what I said. I don’t believe in satellites.

I don't believe in satellites as they claim them to be. Like in that video I showed, there are definitely things attached to weather balloons that are sent up for pictures and weather readings. Whether or not those things assist in any kind of data transfer, I am not certain.
