Why would they lie about all of this?
I’ve written multiple thousands of words to answer this question in much more detail in the group files if you wish to read it. It will answer you much more thoroughly than I have here. The short answer is control, money, and to hide a creator. NASA currently receives 52 million dollars a day that the government can use however they please, because they’re not actually spending it on space travel. Only the highest ranking people are even aware of this; they have people building satellites that never go anywhere, they have people running their programs, and many other things. I personally know people who have quit jobs with NASA and come out about flat Earth. Every astronaut that allegedly landed on the moon was a 33rd degree Freemason. Freemasons are satanic, though they will insist they are God fearing. This is because anyone under 33rd degree does not know this. To become a 33rd degree mason requires you to be invited, it cannot be sought after. Please if this answer is not enough for you, read the groups file titled “Why tell this intricate lie?” it will go over much more content.
So if NASA is all a big con, it's rather impressive that the US government has managed to get every other country in the world to play along, not to mention a round earth was widely accepted hundreds or even thousands of years before we even invented powered flight. Presumably the Ancient Greek philosophers had modern American economics in mind when they spoke of the world as a globe?

How does the Sun fit in with their Flat Earth? With a flat earth surely it would be visible all across the 'disc' at the same time, whereas we all probably know people who live 'far away' for whom it is the middle of the night when it is daytime for us.
Do they say it revolves around the Earth and how far away is it?
They say the sun is a lot smaller and a lot closer than we're told, which means it throws a narrow beam of light on the disc. It really was down to a Father Ted level of 'small and far away'.
Even if the sun was a kilometre above the surface of the 'disk' it would be visible from every place on the surface.

He put "Mexico" into his car sat-nav and ended up at somewhere called 'Mexico Way', (I've no idea what city that was in), and was surprised not to find everyone walking round in ponchos and big daft hats.

Oh, I forgot to mention, he stated that folk in Mexico speak Mexican. When it was pointed out to him that the good people of Mexico speak Spanish, he wasn't having any of it. silly
hehe This bloke deserves his own thread - Uncontrollable laughter here in the office biggrin

I was somewhere with him once, and looking out of the window I asked how far away he thought this particular object was? He replied "3-4 miles away"........

It was about 200 metres rolleyes He made Dougal off of Father Ted look as bright as a button.

There's two flat earth folk in work. One is an intelligent guy in his 40's who just seems to want to believe in the opposite of whatever the official line is. You can have some interesting conversations with him on some subjects but I hadn't bothered with the flat earth debate.

The other lad is early twenties and not had the easiest life so I give him a break but one conversation went a bit like this.

So why do the governments of the world actually want to cover up the fact the world is flat?

Well, to keep the peace. Imagine if they admitted it now... There would be blood on the streets!!!

Really? Why, why would people riot. Occasionally there's breakthroughs in science and we learn new truths about the way the world works. People don't riot when that happens.

What?? Are you telling me you wouldn't go mental and start rioting if the government said the earth is actually flat. I would, I'd definitely be on the streets.

I'd probably just come to work and chat about it with colleagues and then carry on with life..

No way man!

For those with an evening to spare can i suggest you listen a couple of this guys video's. He loves to debate flatearthers. he appears to be well educated and knows how to apply math to prove the globe earth model. To hear the flat earthers he debates floundering is very amusing. here a a couple of examples:

The day actually came on Saturday where i met someone that believed the earth was flat. I was convinced before that no-one believes it and all these forums with 'believers' are just trolls.

I didn't get into a debate with him as my friend was just about to have a tattoo done by him (which came out incredibly well) but some of his reasons were..

All co-ordinates relate to a flat earth (this may have not been exactly what he said as i was still reeling from him telling me)!
If the earth is spinning at 20,000 mph why does he land in the same spot when he jumps
How can he jump from the earths surface but the water near Australia doens't fall off the planet if it is 'down under'
Any picture from space is manipulated as we have not been to space, and consequently never landed on the moon
There is a big wall around the earth "like game of thrones" and if you get within 25 miles you get blown up
It is all a big conspiracy by 35 countries to keep the fact that the earth is flat a secret

Some of his other gems were
The Dunblane massacre was done by the government so they could get guns off the streets
Prince Philip uses his foreign trips to sell cocaine as he is the biggest cocaine dealer in the world
If you get asked by customs 3 times in a row what your name is you are going to get strip searched

Probably a couple of other ones that I have forgotten and I am certain he genuinely believed them all. He was mad as a box of frogs but he is a brilliant tattoo artist!

If they believe all space travel is fabricated, how do they explain the international space station, as you can actually see it quite clearly with decent binoculars

He's still at it posting weekly updates about the arctic wall, fish eye lenses, chemtrails. He is harmless though just questions a lot of stuff :-)

So, it is impossible to take a boat trip more than a few hundred miles west of Chile?

That should be very easy to attempt, and do a live stream of your boat crashing into the ice wall or glass dome or whatever is there to prove the flat earth theory..

Maybe the world is like old GTA games where you drive a boat or plane to the horizon and eventually just end up at the opposite end of the map using some sort of teleportation.

I think that flat earthers are in an entirely different league to moon landing deniers.

It is fairly easy to understand why a certain type might question something that they cant replicate or see for themselves, but a flat earth??

Yes, round as in a circle. The moon is also flat, that is why we always see the same face. All the other planets are spheres though.

I think they have basically merged Google Earth and Google Maps.
