A couple of topics that you mig...Good work so far.<br /><br />A couple of topics that you might address:<br /><br />Maps: The maps of the Southern Hemisphere are totally screwed up. As are airline and shipping routes. This has already caused a bit of a schism within the Movement (see TigerDan123).<br /><br />Level: As in, how can water be 'flat' and curve around the globe. Or, how can a plane fly 'level' and not fly off into space.<br /><br />Rockets in vacuum: Conservation of Momentum, but there are elaborate videos arguing the rocket won't work because of nothing to push against.<br /><br />The NASA EPIC satellite sits at a stable point between Earth and Sun and takes photographs continually. I suggest you use this image on your front page:<br />http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/ . (You have already referenced the Japanese satellite in geosynchronous orbit.)Mervin Ferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354210420874199449noreply@blogger.com
