Communication Underway: Everything to Know About Emails
thesubmergedlife.com...
Parents and significant others of a submariner learn to embrace email as their lifeline of communication while their sailor is underway. Unlike other Navy communities, submariners do not have the ability to casually communicate with their families via phone or video chat while they are out to sea. Forget about direct messaging platforms…in the submarine community, we learn to make email our jam…because it’s all we have! Don’t get me wrong, communicating solely through email can be tough!

The inertial guidance systems are accurate to 150 hours of operation and must be realigned by other surface-dependent navigational systems (GPS, radio, radar, satellite). With these systems onboard, a submarine can be accurately navigated and be within a hundred feet of its intended course.
How amateur satellite trackers are keeping an 'eye' on objects around the Earth

In 2006, amateurs began to track satellites in secret orbits by measuring and analyzing the Doppler shift of their radio signals, or changes in the frequencies of the radio waves caused by the relative motion of the observer and the satellite.

I am not the one claiming an altered image is absolute proof that the earth is round and not flat (while only debating the crappiest flat earth theory out there that is so blatantly planted that anyone who is not looking into why is accepting ignorance.
Now for some more meme magic to continue to prove that the premise of this thread is garbage just like the only flat earth theory debunking but not the other thousand or million other one.
Still waiting for anyone to comment on the fact that according to even the chief liars Not A Space Agency no one has actually been into what is defined as space.
If something is computer generated it is not real like all the photos of the round earth
Again I don't have to find an unaltered photo I just have to point out how it's all fakery
My claim is that the altered photo is not absolute proof
NO ONE HAS EVEN DISCUSSED IT OR POSTED UNALTERED VERSION
Your point is where is an unaltered photo
which is actually concise but you forgot the follow up question If there are no unaltered photos why would anyone believe any of it?
Thanks for proving my point

No. That’s is total BS. Because, like the North Star being physically blocked from view in the Southern Hemisphere, they are physically blocked from view by the earth’s curvature. We know this because they cannot be brought back into view by zooming with binoculars or a telescope.

Which is totally BS. On a flat earth. For me, the viewing angle would be about six foot above the earth, and always down to the earth.
The right angle math does not lie.
The only why an object can be blocked from view, especially if it cannot be brought back into view with binoculars / spotting scope/telescope is if it is physically blocked from view.

Yeah that doesn't look fake.
At all
From Nasa lol
from what altitude? and by what type of camera? what shape was the lens? how high up since we have already pointed out that no human has been at a high enough altitude (actually in space)
Not A Space Agency is the one promoting the globe so posting anything they present as unaltered makes me wanna tell you to go look up gullible again

Horizons are indeed illusions, because they are not a solid line. The Earth curves continually - the horizon is just where you can't see it any more. How far away that point is depends on altitude, refraction, being able to think in 3D.

No, they are NOT physically blocked from view, the reason we cannot see them beyond a certain distance, say, past 3 miles outward when viewed from the ground, is due to VISUAL LIMITATIONS, whether our eyes, or binoculars, or telescopes are used to view objects in the distance. You don't understand how binoculars, cameras, or telescopes are 'seeing' for us, is based on OUR eyesight, so when WE cannot see objects at a distance, telescopes and binoculars can only magnify what can be seen, in perfect conditions, and nothing beyond what our eyes can see, can be seen by magnification.
You will still see an ocean appear higher than you are, through a telescope, etc. You will still see parallel objects appear to converge in the distance through these instruments, only that they will appear to converge further out than by eye.
Our telescopes, binoculars, zoom cameras, etc.
are amazing instruments, no doubt about that. They will 'see' far further out, and show more details of what we CAN see, and many other things beyond that. But what you must understand, and you should research for yourself, is that these instruments are based on OUR OWN EYESIGHT, which makes sense, since we have to see what those instruments 'see', is what WE would see, if our eyes had their own 'magnification' capabilites.
You say that instruments would be able to see objects far beyond the horizon, if Earth was flat, because they can magnify on objects we cannot see by eye, so they would see objects past the horizon, if Earth was flat, so you believe telescopes cannot see objects past the horizon, in full view, nor anything further out, because the Earth curves downward at the horizon, and objects are 'physically blocked out'.
Again, telescopes and so forth, obviously show an ocean appearing to be higher than we are, or our instruments are, right?
How would you explain this? It's pretty simply, isn't it? Why do telescopes, etc. 'see' an ocean, along the horizon, which appears higher than we are?
You claim they would see BEYOND the horizon,
yet the horizon appears to be HIGHER than we are, through the telescope, because WE see the same thing, with our eyes, too.
This is a perfect example that PROVES to you, instruments can only 'see', what WE can see by eye, along the surface, which is what we're talking about here - the Earths surface.
Instruments see the same illusions WE see by eye, like parallel objects appearing to converge, or an ocean horizon appearing to be higher than we are, AND when they cannot see objects past the horizon, like we cannot, due to that VERY SAME phenomenon - perspective and vanishing point of objects or surfaces in the distance, OVER A LARGE FLAT PLAIN OR SURFACE!
And once again, I've told you many times how to prove objects do NOT go over any 'curve' of Earth, at the horizon.
Let me put it another way for you
- look at a horizon from the ground, out to the ocean, for example. The horizon will always look perfectly flat, and straight across Earth, one side to the other. There is clearly NOTHING curving, in the least.
That's because it IS perfectly flat and straight across, at ANY length across Earth, images from mountain tops, which are NOT EDITED, and use standard lenses, always show perfectly flat, straight horizons. Planes at 20000 feet always show perfectly flat, straight horizons, too. Those other 'images' you like, and post, as 'proof', are all garbage, edited, use special lenses, faked, and so on. We know that, because almost all images show it is perfectly straight, at all altitudes.
Trying to claim there really IS a 'curving' along the horizon, but is so very, very, very 'slight' of a curve, it is not seen by eye, nor can this 'curve' be seen.....by TELESCOPES!
In fact, NOTHING can see a curve, there IS no curve to BE seen.
A 200 mile long horizon seen from a plane, is perfectly flat and straight, there is NO curve at all - not even your 'very, very slight' curve, which must SURELY exist, in your fairy tale story, otherwise, the whole pile of crap they've made up as 'real, will completely FALL APART like a house of cards.
So of course, you MUST claim there is a 'curve' - your entire fairy tale DEPENDS on a curve being there!
But clearly, there IS no curve, that's why horizons are all flat and straight across.
Math does not lie. It is our eyes, and our instruments, which are ALWAYS 'lying' to us, about what we see in the distance.
Math would show parallel objects appearing to converge in the distance, is that correct? If you say it does, then math would use an optical illusion to account for it. But you say math doesn't 'lie', so math couldn't use optical illusions, only real objects, real angles, and so on.
Math would show an ocean horizon that appears LOWER than us, yet it appears higher than us, by eye.
Do you understand what I'm saying here? It is not that the math, or geometry, etc. are 'lying' about anything, they are not. What they indicate by equations and diagrams is all true, the angles are all correct, and so on.
But math does NOT show what is seen in the REAL WORLD, by OUR EYES, nor does it account for all the illusions we see.
You cannot keep trying your 'math doesn't lie' argument, to dispute Earth being flat. Math alone, simply does NOT work, as I've now explained to you.
If there is any point I've made about it, which you don't agree with, I can go over it again with you, because it is all true.

But why is it possible to see part of the object that you claim optics and perspective and visual limitations prevent the other part from being seen? If what you say is true is correct, all of the object would be invisible.

No, when an object on the surface reaches high enough ABOVE the surface, that part will be seen beyond a horizon, but only when it is still NEAR the horizon, not further out. Like if you saw a drone fly above the ocean about 30 feet in air, it would be seen a little bit PAST a horizon, because it is high enough above the surface to BE seen.
Remember, we are referring to objects on the surface, and objects high enough are visible on the top area, beyond a horizon, like a drone at 30 feet in air would be. They are BOTH 'above' the surface, high enough to be seen past a horizon, but only when NEAR it, not further out.
Objects in air, or objects that REACH high above the surface, like a ship's mast might be high 'above the surface', like a drone in air, above the surface. It's that simple.

"If the Earth was flat, there would be no horizon."
So, there would be NO perfectly flat, straight horizons, on a flat Earth - is that what you're saying?
Okay, I'll play along - please tell me what we WOULD see on the flat Earth, if we wouldn't see flat, straight horizons?
I can't wait to hear it!
And what makes oceans appear to continually rise up, and what makes horizons appear higher than us, on your ball Earth?
can't wait for that one either...
