[quote:Anonymous Coward 80406901:MV80OTYzNTI2XzkwNzcxNjg2X0JEMjMzREYz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 72983620:MV80OTYzNTI2XzkwNzcxNDExX0YxMDFDNzc3] Laser test over a large flat late. Find a spot where there is land 5-10 miles away. Set your laser 6 feet from the ground. Shoot across stretch of lake. See if you can contact that laser 6 feet high and show the lake is flat. Just don’t have a strong enough laser [/quote] That'd be a good experiment to run, although, similar tests are conducted with cameras at objects many miles away and show no curvature. Engineers dont factor in curvature when assessing projects several miles in scale [/quote]

First and foremost, all supposed pictures of the Earth of space, are admittedly (by those that created the images) photoshopped. Lets start here and see where we go.
