Uhm, the same reason the temperature would drop on a globe, the decrease in air pressure, and less sun reflecting off the surface, etc.  What, do you imagine that the FE models holds that the sun is 20,000 feet above the surface?  Relatively small increase in proximity to the sun doesn't suffice to cancel out the cooling due to lower air pressure and other factors.  When the atmosphere is thinner, there's less matter for the sun's raise to excite and therefore convert into heat (heat is caused by vibrating molecules).

See, the Glober attitude is that they've already decided that the earth is a globe/ball and so they just keep slinging enough manure at the wall with the hope that some of it will stick.

Shows how much you know. Rockets are not like jet engines that use the oxygen in the air, they carry a concentrated supply in either a compressed tank, or a solid form.

But if you assume we are in a “snow globe” FE, warm air rises and thus it should be warmer at the top of the dome, No? Also, what is the assumption you make for the distance the surface of the Earth is to the Sun?

The sun's behavior could be explained with Enoch's version of the 6 entries and exits in the firmament which does not depend much on the shape of the earth. Also, curvature commensurate with a 24,901 circuмference ball has never been proven or demonstrated.  NASA et. al. will point to boats, cgi graphics and rockets with go pros but never deal with the measurement of the land because the land doesn't curve one mile for the first 90 miles distance, the result needed for earth to be a globe. Salt flats perfectly level for 5,000 square miles kind of put a hole in the curvature fairy tale as well. 

LOL.  It doesn't matter what form it comes in, it has to combust to move the rocket and combustion demands lots of oxygen, not available in the upper atmosphere let alone "space". 

So, what's your point? Rockets only need most of their fuel before reaching space to accelerate and overcome air resistance. Once in space, not as much fuel is needed because there is practically nothing to slow them down. When talking about rocket fuel oxygen is considered part of it, unlike in airplanes where only the non oxygen component is called fuel.

I said "to accelerate and overcome air resistance", so I had acceleration (obviously to however fast needed including escape velocity) covered.
They carry the oxygen in a tank with them, and yes the maneuvering fuel is very limited. Ion thrusters can also be used. The rocket doesn't step off a speeding bullet (earth) into still air (space), It is already going the same speed as earth (if earth really is flying around the sun and galaxy) apart from the speed reached to leave earth. They carefully plan these flights. Most only send something into orbit, so maneuvering is minimal. Shooting for a lap around the moon can use the moon's gravity to help overcome earth's gravity, and a "slingshot" effect around the moon to get back if they pass the moon on the correct side. This isn't like in most sci-fi shows where if the rocket's engines turn off the thing comes to a stop in the middle of space. It's called space for a reason, there's no air, so nothing to slow it down other than some source of gravity, which could speed it up with no fuel burned depending on which direction it is flying. I don't get what's so hard to understand about this stuff. I'm not saying I'm proving that rockets flying in empty space is real, I just saying that it is quite possible. The impossibility of space flight is no proof for a water filled firmament because space flight is conceptually very possible.

Wondering how a spaceship communicates 238,000 miles through space, from earth to moon and back, when sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.

The radio waves with the longest length that NASA claims can in no way supply or substitute because they travel in a direct line only.


Microwaves travel by line-of-sight; unlike lower frequency radio waves, they do not diffract around hills, follow the earth's surface as ground waves, or reflect from the ionosphere, so terrestrial microwave communication links are limited by the visual horizon to about 40 miles (64 km).
