this is an incredible archive that Jeranism found and all investigative FE’ers need to pour over. This is just what i found on a first search. This could be a real gold mine for us truthers!
First Photo of Earth From First Mercury Launch in 1961…F-L-A-T!!!
And to Mike, who wrote just how this is a round ball Earth pic….REally Mike??? Prove it!
I’m sorry to question things, but both photos in the article show quite noticeable curvature if you put a ruler against them. So what are they meant to show?

REally Mike, I added a ruler for your own edification on this post and you are wrong! Bob, you’re shillspicious. What do agree with about FE theory and fact?

I don’t have be-LIE-fs Sir, I am a skeptic investigator where all is possible and nothing is true. We are only using less than 15% of brains, they say, so why should anyone have belief systems when so much is unknown is beyond me. I have posted over 600 posts on FE so those who ask inane questions like “doesn’t look straight to me” when i simply added a ruler to prove you wrong, is suspect Mike.

and you just proved my point, unless you’re going to claim it shows a curve. Then do the spherical math. Mi x Mi X 8 inches to get curve distance.
If that is say a picture of 1,000 miles then 1,000 x 1,000 x 8 inches we get a curve of over 12 miles, you see 12 miles Mike of curvature?

jwlpeace – I am confused here. The title of the page says “F-L-A-T” and now you agree that it is not flat, but say it should be MORE curved. Shouldn’t the page be – “Original First Photo of Earth From First Mercury Launch in 1961…Not as Curved as You Might Expect!!!”

Just did some measuring, I make the curve about 1 part in 70. For a 1,000 mile horizon, that would give about 14 miles of curve. Do you measure it differently?

I’m done with all fakemail.com’s. Bob, Rick, Mike, you’re all using the same server email..and all are very shillspicious with inane, irrelevancy to the topic at hand. Mike, I just laid out for you the extremely basic spherical math and you ignore it with 1/70 b.s. made up from ? make it relevant or move on plz. not much patience left here.

jwlpeace – What is more relevant than what the pictures show? I have added my measurements here https://s18.postimg.org/83em1u0ah/horizon.png. From YOUR maths, they show just about the expected curvature. Where have I got this wrong?

JWL,
I take you at your word: “I am a skeptic investigator where all is possible and nothing is true.”
Here is what my investigation found: skeptic investigator.

Age of the Modern Skeptic: * The Greek word skepsis means investigation. By calling themselves skeptics, the ancient skeptics thus describe themselves as investigators. They also call themselves ‘those who suspend’, thereby signaling that their investigations lead them to suspension of judgment. * They do not put forward theories, and they do not deny that knowledge can be found. At its core, ancient skepticism is a way of life devoted to inquiry. It is as much concerned with belief as with knowledge. As long as knowledge has not been attained, the skeptics aim not to affirm anything. This gives rise to their most controversial ambition: a life without belief. * Etymology; skeptic (n.) 1580s, “member of an ancient Greek school that doubted the possibility of real knowledge,” from Middle French sceptique and directly from Latin scepticus “the sect of the Skeptics,” from Greek skeptikos (plural Skeptikoi “the Skeptics, followers of Pyrrho”), noun use of adjective meaning “inquiring, reflective” (the name taken by the disciples of the Greek philosopher Pyrrho, who lived c. 360-c. 270 B.C.E.), related to skeptesthai “to reflect, look, view” (see scope (n.1)). * Skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found. [Miguel de Unamuno, “Essays and Soliloquies,” 1924]

Here I thought I was agreeing, and affirming what you said. The references were for those specifically unfamiliar with the terms, and I felt you would easily recognize these as applicable, and see them as neutral.
BTW, The linked pdf is a nice artifact. I was amused to see the entertainment list in the back for the deployed sailors.
