Is the Internatiomnal space station actually within an ordinairy airplane..

What about the cargo being sent up to the ISS. Is it just being dumped in space so an empty comes backs?

Can looking through a telescope prove that there actually are people up there?

Why would there be a reason to fake it when it's really up there?

The ISS is supposedly made from metal and plastic and other types of materials.

All of these materials are heavy.

Heavy stuff does not float. Unless it's a bird. Or a balloon. Or a boat in water.

The ISS is neither a bird, nor is it a balloon, nor is it a boat in water.

Conclusion?

The ISS does not and cannot exist.

Nice try, NASA.

How many people are able to check if it comes back empty, or what was in it, for that matter, especially in the scenario of this being a conspiracy.

Not a real strong counter argument.

Because it might not be up there in the form you think it is.

To paraphrase Pascal: "Paranoia has its reasons that Reason knows not of."

Just in case you're not joking, the ISS is not floating. It's in orbit.

In what form might it be?

Nice try, NASA shill!

Orbit is a brand of chewing gum!

Try again, "space-man".

In non functional space station form. A mere facade.

The guy in the video says that "low Earth orbit is impossible."

a reply to: DutchMasterChief
"A mere façade"? Orbiting Earth at over 17,000 mph at an altitude between 205 and 270 miles. If you can do that, why the need to fake anything? That makes no sense.

The ISS is huge so I doubt it would be on an ordinary airplane....

Come take a tour of the ISS and see just how real it is.

I didn't watch all of it but I didn't see anything that couldn't have fit in a plane, especially with cuts in the video.

Not sure what your point is.

Is this the Special Ed forum?

Even if that is the case, it still doesn't mean you "can do" people up there.

Why can't you? Personal (or group) incredulity isn't a strong argument.

I'm sorry. I can't continue.

I tried to be funny. . . but I really didn't want to end up insulting anyone who honestly believes that we never went to space.

There are also amateur "satellite hunters" who take pics of satellites.



Does it mean these satellites are occupied by people?

a reply to: DenyObfuscation

Why can't you?

Not sure. My argument was that the sightings by amateur astronmers don't mean that whatever they are looking at is occupied by people. This doesn't mean that I know the answer for that specific question.
