You have had some pretty wierd theories
But a round earth is just whacky thinking.
Flat? What nonsense! Everybody knows the earth is round ... just like a pancake!

you may ponder stupid to question weather the earth is flat or not

i have a question for you

why in the 100% of these pictures the sun is always in the zenith(always in the vertical of the photographer) so the earth never has a self shadow

http://www.google.es/search?q=space+...ed=0CBoQ_AUoAQ

isnt it too much of a coincidence the 100% of pictures the sun always in the zenith, always one in a million

maybe this throws light on it




no selfshadow on that fake earth either

so dont think me stupid for thinking we are lied about this planet and earth radius being 600 km after having measured it myself

I measured it Raaaid, and it was 6371KM. And I used a milli-metre ruler. So I think you may need to run your calculations again.

There's these things called night and day.. during the day you can see, and take photographs that everyone else can see

At night time it's dark. Doesn't really make for good space walk shots.. look

Spacewalking at night..

of the thousands pictures provided on space walks earth never appears with a shadow like this:



that can only mean the sun always in the zenith(always one in a million) or fake pictures

this is a personal discovery only avalaible to fly simmers

Are you serious? They took the pictures in daytime, and you can't see enough of the earth.

So you're saying all spacewalk pictures are fake, if so you are an idiot.

Edit : Look a 'boundary' pic


And another


One more


Oh and how can something that happens for 12 hours a day have odds of a million to 1?

i was wondering if the whole globe is rendered why when i leave the channel map the game becomes unstable and freezes?

i question everything except my only axiom that my family loves me

the space walk picture could be real or fake i dont know

but i wonder why on the thousands pictures provided doesnt appearn any earth selfshadow?

its no a matter or day or night in sapce sun always shines

its a matter that the only way of no earth self shadows showing in the picture is the sun being exactly in the vertical of the photographer

if the sun its 90 offset from the photographer, still day time, you should see half earth with shadow and half bright blue

so i just ask why in the thousand pictures i provided the sun its always at the zenith of the photographer?

you shouldnt consider me crazy for pondering this if you have no answer for it

edit:

well i checked all space walk pictures avaliable in google searching space walk and in none earth has a self shadow

http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&bi...&aqi=&aql=&oq=

you must have searched other words and noon doesnt happen 12 hours a day

in fact i would bet youve never seen the sun in your zenith exactly in your vertical unless you live between the tropics

At any 1 point in time half the globe is half light and half dark.

The space walks are all done at an altitude of about 100 - 130 miles so you are looking at quite a small section of the earth in the background. Add to this that if you are taking photographs you tend to need light so they take the pictures when they are on the light side of the earth. What's so hard to understand about that? If they took them when they were on the darkside of the earth they wouldn't show anything as the people would be in total darkness because they would be in the earths shadow.


I've already posted a 'boundary' picture or 3 so what's your point?

It dosn't have to be at zenith, it just has to be daytime. It dosn't go dark on earth at half an hour after noon, it's light where I live for 10 hours a day at the moment.



You are not thinking about this properly. If you look at all those shots and then work out the angle of the sun from the shadows you'll notice that they are not all taken at the same time of day.

Seriously you're beginning to make yourself look even more stupid.

Raaaid, I wonder if you miss this, forget this or what.

This is a development update posted by Oleg, in this update Oleg is showing the capabilities of of IL2COD graphic engine capturing in screenshots the ability of the engine in the reproduction of the earth.

From minus (close to ground) to max (close to space) :





















IL2COD earth is not flat, is just that the earth is to big for you notice his curve.

In fact you can do a space shuttle simulator with this
