if you wish to claim that a sextant " works " on an aledged flat earth
demonstrate it :
1 - show the distance from the true north pole - to polaris
2 - show the " over ground distance" of one degree of latitude
come on - lets see your evidence

Spewing forth a non-existent force does not exactly wash as 'evidence' for your claim, or any claim. Saying I need to show evidence against a phantom force hardly matters from that point, anyway.
When you cannot address airplanes measuring level flight, with instruments that MEASURE level in air, don't make demands of me to show evidence for something you can't prove to begin with, based on fantasy forces that magically solve all problems without any evidence the phantom force even exists! Let alone having magical powers that make all the real problems go away forever and ever, just by wishing for it!

It is not an assumption that the Earth is round.
It's been proven with...wait for it...science. Rather simple mathematics/geometry was used a few thousand years ago to prove it.
Just because you choose to ignore it, doesn't make it any less true. Covering your ears and screaming "laa-laa-laa" over and over again won't make it go away, either.

There are public viewing areas at launch sites whete you can watch the rockets get launched and go all the way up. Thousands of people go to see them all the time and take videos and photos. You could do the same, but you won't.

Why don't you post some concrete proof that rocket launches don't go into space instead of just constantly refurgitating the same tired old tropes? It wouldn't matter if I posted a page full of videos, you will deny them (as you have done befor), just like you deny that you can go see a rocket launch with your own eyes
If KSC isnt your thing, try Star City:

or maye South America:

Because all he has is those same tired old tropes. He's been shouting the same nonsense for however many years now and possibly now has an inkling that we're all laughing at him. He has not convinced one other person that his nonsense has a single leg to stand on.
It's a bit sad really. That said, his theory about gravity was imaginative. Silly, but imaginative.

gentlemen he doesn't understand what orbit is.... he believes its "straight up"... space = orbit
he also believes things just float once they're in space
this like everything else has been explained numerous times...
Theres actually a better chance the earth is flat, then this guy understanding simple concepts

i read a joke that proves the earth is not flat.
If the Earth was flat, Cats would have already pushed everything off the edge.
