Are you just surmising this or do you have hard evidence of this? The key word in your sentence is probably, which means you are unsure.
That is mighty fast to capture a still photo of one. It would just be a blip or flash if you tried to take a picture of one unless you were moving at the same rate.A satellite requires a speed of 17,450 miles per hour in order to maintain a low Earth orbit. Satellites in higher orbits travel more slowly; for example, a geostationary satellite only orbits at 6,858 miles per hour.
That's interesting. I also Binged earth rotation speed at equatorA satellite requires a speed of 17,450 miles per hour in order to maintain a low Earth orbit. Satellites in higher orbits travel more slowly; for example, a geostationary satellite only orbits at 6,858 miles per hour.
At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,070 kilometers, and the day is 24 hours long so the speed is 1670 kilometers/hour (1037 miles/hr).
Maybe this is a stupid question, but how are they locomoted at that speed? What makes them go? Obviously it's not fuel of any kind. I had assumed the theory held that they are caught in the earth's atmosphere and propelled forward with it. But if they are going much faster than the earth's atmosphere what force is driving them?TruthSeeker wrote: ↑January 26th, 2019, 1:54 pmThat's interesting.

It would obviously be less above or below the "equator" if we are on a sphere.At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,070 kilometers, and the day is 24 hours long so the speed is 1670 kilometers/hour (1037 miles/hr).
If these satellites are moving at a speed of 17,450 miles per hour in low Earth orbit, isn't that much faster than the Earth's rotation? Wouldn't satellite dishes have to constantly be moving to track the moving satellite? What about when the satellite goes on the other side of the Earth? Wouldn't satellite dishes constantly lose their signal?
Thanks. You got me interested in this subject I knew nothing about by linking a Dubay video.TruthSeeker wrote: ↑January 26th, 2019, 3:14 pmThat would be Newton's law of motion:
First law:
In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
So in theory your satellite would be launched into orbit at a certain speed. Since space is a vacuum there would be no friction (of air) to slow it down. The only force that is acting upon it would be the force of gravity but because the satellite is moving so fast, gravity has little impact. They tell us all the satellites will eventually be pulled in by gravity and burned up in the atmosphere.
Or to put it more correctly (assuming conventional theory is true), it is moving so fast that the curvature of the earth creates distance from it as fast as it is falling, so it effectively falls around the earth.TruthSeeker wrote: ↑January 26th, 2019, 3:14 pmThe only force that is acting upon it would be the force of gravity but because the satellite is moving so fast, gravity has little impact.
Holy cow. At mach 17 or even mach 7, there's no way you could take a photo of an object. You'd be lucky to even get a blur. Most likely you could not even see the object, not even as a blur. I think the satellites you see in images online are either artist renditions or CGI or drawings. Not real photos. Or perhaps they take photos of the satellites on the ground before launching them into space?TruthSeeker wrote: ↑January 26th, 2019, 1:54 pmThat's interesting.

Regardless of whether the earth is flat or not, I find it hard to believe the Sun is 90 million miles away. It certainly does not look or feel that far away by any means.Pinayhunter wrote: ↑January 7th, 2019, 8:12 pmThe sun’s not what we’ve been told.
Sun caught shining through the firmament and circling above Earth:

Looks like the sun’s reflecting off some glass dome above. Also notice how the sun changes in diameter and moves through an arc as it rises and sets.
The sun gets smaller as it moves away from us:

For those who still don’t think the sun gets smaller and moves away from us as it “sets.” You can clearly see this happening when the air is dry enough and there’s minimal atmospheric distortion.

No, of course not. It looks about 200-300 miles away, and to my eye looks closer when you're only 35,000 feet up in an airplane. Everything about currently accepted cosmology is a complete refutation of our common sense, what we can see and feel.Winston wrote: ↑June 30th, 2019, 9:46 amRegardless of whether the earth is flat or not, I find it hard to believe the Sun is 90 million miles away.

Question for globe earthers and those who believe in official astronomy science here:
Suppose no one had ever told you that the Sun was 90 million miles away and you knew nothing about astronomy or what official science claims. And you looked up at the Sun. Would you guess upon inspection that it was 90 million miles away or much closer? Be honest please. Pretend no one ever told you anything about the Sun and you were basing it off what you see and estimate only, based on visual inspection alone.
In theory, your astro-not would be moving at the same speed as the ISS, but what comes to mind is what about all the space junk outside? According to nasa.gov, space junk is moving very fast.
What happens if space junk hits the ISS or one of the astro-nots while he's outside on a space walk? How do they account for this? Wouldn't the ISS have been hit by space junk by now?Most "space junk" is moving very fast. It can reach speeds of 4.3 to 5 miles per second. Five miles per second is about 18,000 miles per hour. That's almost seven times faster than a bullet. Since it is moving so quickly, a tiny piece of orbital debris can cause a lot of damage.
