Earth is a spinning ball.

"You can see the curvature of the earth from very high planes" You can only see the supposed curvature of the earth if you are looking out of the top of a curved window, that are standard on all commercial passenger planes, and we all (hopefully) know what happens to straight lines when viewed through curved glass... "you can meet an astronaut" Who will lie about even going to the moon.(1) (1) https://youtu.be... "or search the internet and find a real photo/video of it." I have proved that none of the photos are real, this has not been refuted. So, no, you can't. You haven't shown any evidence of a real photo. Check the descriptions of every photo of earth, they TELL you they are only composites. It seems my opponent is not clear of what constitutes as empirical evidence. I suggest obtaining a dictionary and looking up the definition. "I think you are overestimating the global politics involved in going to space." Global politics? Really? Please tell us about these global politics. "the ISS is a research institute" All I ever see the"scientists" doing on the iss is playing. What types of actual research are they doing? Were paying out of our arses to see them play with musical instruments and water, which in space, should be very dangerous, even life threatening, if you happen to know what happens when you mix water with sensitive electronics. Not to mention the supply of water is limited, unless they are actually in a giant swimming pool. "You are also underestimating the amount of money and time needed to establish such a company." I provided a link to the Virgin story, there are millions funded toward getting civilians into space. "You have absolutely no proof to back up that ambitious statement. " I have, and it seems that you have ignored it. "Or this one" If I were one of the first to walk on the moon, and made it back to earth safely, You would not be able to wipe the beaming smile from my face for years. I personally would work something about it into every conversation for the first few weeks upon return. Every time I talked about the moon, I would be so proud and happy about this never before accomplished feat that I would smile at the very thought of it, I'm sure anyone will agree. So let's see, why are these astronots so nervous and scared looking?(2)https://youtu.be... "government is very involved with NASA so" NASA is a government organization. You think that governments are trustworthy? Boy have you got a lot to learn. "...The link you posted is just a random photo of the globe..." Clearly in denial. Clearly embarrassed. The "random photo" is directly from your source. How was it refuted? How did my opponent not see the obvious photo manipulation? Voters please note this is obviously a dropped argument with a childish "nuh-uh". "You haven't proved it false or unreliable. So I disagree." Voters, I don't think I have been refuted here either, and NASA has been ruled out as a reliable source, but, since my opponent is in a hopeless state of denial, it is up to you to make that decision. " Where are you getting this?" Voters, need I say more? "Remember, in zero gravity water gets loose so..." With all the sensitive computers onboard the iss, I'm almost positive water does not just "get loose" all the time, and as I stated above, water is hard to come by in space, and it usually doesn't behave the way these air bubbles do, they usually just float... "What is up with you and these ad hominems? " Is there a way to stop 15 year olds from accepting a debate? I in no way insulted my opponent. This is getting old, another point dropped. "NO YOU DIDN'T. Readers, take a big long look at what my opponent just said." I'm not sure what you are talking about specifically, but voters please do, and the next time you're outside, forget what science has told you, and envision the earth as flat and motionless, the sun and moon the same size and close passing overhead and you will see what I see, or remain asleep, up to you. A few more nuh-uhs... "He sounds like a tabloid junkie." He accurately pointed out several points dealing with symbolism and NASA. Seems credible to me. Again, voters discretion. "This is funny. But first, unreliable" I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Righto! "Someone would have made a mistake" Three examples listed so far that haven't gotten silenced. NASA employees are on a need to know basis, not everyone has to know about it. "You seem to have a whole lot of accusations without a whole lot of reason, credible sources, or proof." That will be up to the voters to decide... What have you so far, 2 sources that I ruled out as reasons of credibility according to the rules of This debate that you agreed to? This is too easy. One more round for you! Better make it good! I'd suggest more of "NASA told me." This was really a waste of time, but whatever gives me a W!
