It's not unreasonable that a studio mock-up was used to produce reliably clear images in ADVANCE that would be made public ON THE OCCASION of the launch of the Tesla roadster. Think about it. How could they have planned on positioning a camera in just the right place while the car is set loose from the space pod, with Earth in the background?

Fine.  So they made these images in studio for the sake of achieving an "adrenaline rush".

Nevertheless, then this is a huge FAIL in establishing/proving globe earth.  So move along now.

You put this video out there as some proof of globe earth ... due to the images, which you now admit COULD be fake.  So what does it prove then?

You just admitted that these images could have been made in a studio ... and yet you were trying earlier to adduce these potentially fake images as proof of globe earth.

How many times do you need to be told?
We don't have to use photos of the earth from outer space in order to "prove" the earth is spheroid.
.
Getting broadcast/publish/professional quality images of the earth from space, especially with a foreground subject in the same shot (much closer focus range therefore limiting the f/stop possibilities) is a technical nightmare.
.
The purpose of the Spacex photos is to docuмent what the mission/missions entail. The fact of what they are doing in space is not inherently related to getting good photos of it happening. Whether we have actual photos of the roadster with the earth in the background has nothing to do with whether the car was launched on its course by the Spacex pod. The car is on its way around the sun even if the process of sending it there did not include satisfying the flat-earthers who can't imagine what they would see if they were actually there. But even if they WERE there they wouldn't believe what they see with their own eyes. They would say, "Someone is tricking us! This must be a hologram! We are not in space because we never hit the DOME!"
.
I don't know about you, but I have seen all I need to see already to know the horizon is far below the level line of sight from a tall mountain. So I don't need Spacex to "prove" the earth isn't "flat." I've already seen what I need to see. Apparently you haven't.
.
I can't expect you to take my word for it, but that doesn't stop me from offering it.
.
There are numerous other ways of observing the curvature of the earth that doesn't involve trekking to the top of Mt. Whitney with surveying equipment which you are already familiar with using.
.
I can recommend meeting amateur astronomers when they have their telescopes out observing the stars in the sky, and when they can answer your questions. You might find yourself amazed at how much amateurs can show you first hand.
.
The proof of the sphericity of the earth is everywhere we look.
.

As I said, stupid.  Nobody's "jealous" of this alleged rocket.  What "fake argument"?  You can see screen shots from their own video where the globe has NO LAND on it.  And they docuмent their own altitude ... from which it would not be possible to get that "blue marble" view depicted in the video.

You're just acting like a baby now.

.
The globe doesn't have any land on it at close range over the Atlantic Ocean, does it? 
.
Resorting to silly insults won't get you anywhere.
.
The jealousy of flat-earthers is what drives their malicious diatribe. They can't stand it when they lose. Again.
.
And when someone notices the fact they get even more malicious. It's transparent. For those with eyes to see.
.

You just admitted that these images could have been made in a studio ... and yet you were trying earlier to adduce these potentially fake images as proof of globe earth.

Perhaps you're confusing what I wrote with what I quoted from what others wrote.
In the first few posts of this thread I quoted posts from YouTube sites where comments were such things as:

To your credit, I didn't explain it at the time, but I was merely posting these comments that others had made for docuмenting the fact that they were made, because they represent a worldwide knee-jerk reaction to the SpaceX launch that happened now just 2 weeks ago. I had found the comments interesting. But that doesn't mean I was proposing that the SpaceX photos were "proof" of the sphericity of the earth, even if some of the posted comments make it appear that's what some are saying.
.
The contribution these posts make to "the argument" is limited to how much ridicule flat-earthers have to endure from everyone.
.
It's not necessarily an inherent part of the discussion but to ignore its existence is to ignore a portion of current events and reality.
.
If I were a flat-earther, I'd be upset, too! 
.
But like I've already explained many times, I don't need any "photos" to "prove" the earth isn't "flat."
.
Try as I may to share the innumerable reasons the sphericity of the earth is evidenced everywhere we look, it falls on deaf ears.
.
Not even the success of SpaceX is sufficient to wake up dogmatic flat-earthers.
.
This needs to be docuмented because future generations won't believe there actually were flat-earthers around while this was going on.

How many times do you need to be told?

We don't have to use photos of the earth from outer space in order to "prove" the earth is spheroid.

I agree.  But YOU were trying to use fake studio-generated pictures to "prove" that the earth is not flat.

.
Wait -- you don't really think the video shots of the Tesla car with the earth in the background are real, do you?
.
How come you're not accusing them of using a blue screen or CGI?
.

.
Where exactly did I try to use studio photos to 'prove' that the earth is not flat?

.
Just yesterday an astronomer on the radio reported that many amateur astronomers all over the world are tracking the course of the Spacex Tesla roadster in space, because using high powered telescopes from earth they are actually able to see it as it drifts slowly away from the earth.
.
So according to your outlook, all these amateur astronomers are conspiring to deceive everyone? Sounds like the default position to me!
.
It's not unreasonable that a studio mock-up was used to produce reliably clear images in ADVANCE that would be made public ON THE OCCASION of the launch of the Tesla roadster. Think about it. How could they have planned on positioning a camera in just the right place while the car is set loose from the space pod, with Earth in the background? Are they going to have a second probe tossed off of the probe whose only purpose is to be rocketed around to various angles and trajectories so as to capture the perfect shot without sun glare, dark spots, overexposure, bad focus, improper frame position or other concerns? Was there a boom attached to the bottom of the car at the end of which was mounted a camera with capacity to receive, process and excecute technical adjustments while transmitting the signal of the recorded image back to the probe, which would in turn relay the information back to earth? I'd like to see the price tag for such a rig -- no doubt it would be a hundred times more than the cost of shooting a studio model. And if anything went wrong with the plan nobody would be getting that essential adrenaline rush of seeing the car and SpaceMan drifting off with "Don't Panic!" displayed on the dash screen. The fact is, the whole purpose of the car, the stuffed space suit and the Panic screen was to obtain the adrenaline rush worldwide, the echoes of which will perhaps outlive the very roadster it refers to. All it would take is one asteroid and POOF the roadster is history. We just had another one whisk by, measuring 200 meters in diameter. If one of those were to hit the earth it would make for a really bad day for millions of people. And if they were to have published the explanation that what everyone saw was a faked roadster and Spaceman view, what good would that do for the all-important worldwide adrenaline rush? It's a matter of priorities. There shouldn't be any doubt that Elon Musk's roadster is on its way around the sun, perhaps for "millions of years," and the reality of that in the minds of dreamers deserves a reliably memorable image from day one. What crime is there in giving the dreamers what they crave?
.

This post is epic for its total BS.
Neil, do you believe NASA  faked the moon landing so that America could have the adrenaline rush?

.
Do you really believe the earth is "flat" or are you just faking it in your lame attempt to make Catholics look like dimwits?
.
BTW thank you for actually reading my post!
.

LADISLAUS: Did you see the above post from Neil Globestat?
See how he dodged the question about the moon landing? 
I can now safely assume that he does not believe we went to the moon. He believes NASA did it to give America a phony adrenaline rush.
Since he knows we didn't go to the moon, it seems odd he still believes earth is a globe.  Especially since that means there are no pics of the globe.
