Do we not have a rocket forum? We find out Saturday if the Earth is flat I guess.

Dang, that is a long ways. But I really like that sun and moon model. Yep the sun is like a searchlight it shines straight down... Uh huh...

Well, since the earth is flat the only logical conclusion is that all the other planets are also flat. Since the sun is flat it would shine straight down. Now it's your turn to explain why the area in the center doesn't have continuous darkness or continuous light.

The area in the center is the Arctic or Antarctic, and it does get continuous darkness or light some of the time.

Are there flat asteroids too, I am now trying to picture a solar system full of Frisbees and wonder how they they maintain a geostatic orbit relative to other flat planets or maybe it doesn't matter as we are the only populated one that can see them.

And their diagram leaves the moon in continuous darkness. The biggest problem I've yet to see explained is where is the edge of the earth?

I would love to see the explanation for a satellite in Molniya orbit too. Of course they would just say that satellites are just figments of my imagination.

I was communicating thru satellites in Molniya orbit 20 years ago (OSCAR 13 and 10). Maybe as I tracked them with my puny little homemade ground station antennas and home made azimuth-elevation rotor was all just a figment of my imagination. And the doppler effects I observed and the voice delays were made up too.

Not to mention the long trip home.

Not to mention the long trip home.

Those Japanese planes must have had really big fuel tanks.

kamikazes didn't worry about making it home... (out of context liberty taken)
