Nope.

It has "31 cm resolution" according to your article. That is a very long way from what would be needed.

There is no good evidence of enormously superior satellite imaging. The physics gets in the way.

Capricorn One - I never said that. I said the script was originally about faking a moon mission so they changed it up to faking a Mars mission for obvious reasons. 

However, Keanu Reeves said the Matrix was a documentary. One interesting fact about that movie was his drivers license expiration date was Sept, 11 2001. The movie came out in 1999. 

For all you Coincidence Theorists out there 

That is a nice co-incidence of dates. But it is a fact that many, many things are associated with the same date. Virtually all of them are meaningless co-incidences.

Here's a meaningful (ahem) coincidence for you:  Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still lived at number 309. So did I from the age of 1 until many years later.

It was a documentary

It's No coincidence that there many coincidence theorists out therewink.png

Coincidentally there are.

“It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.” – Bill Murray cinespia. For once I agree with a quote

Dude just tell him what it would imply if the earth was flat not just trying to defend our globe his brain isnt complex enough to understand our arguements

Noodles just because you structure your sentenses properly dosent mean your right Why hasn't anyone ever fallen over the earth Why does the sun work like a flashlight why does light just stops after a certain distance Dude Bros more arrogant than Einstein about QM

I really do not know what the exact shape/form of the entire earth is for I have Never seen it. I do know the heliocentric model is impossible and all the alleged photos of earth floating in space are fakes. 

Basic flight/aeronautics/navigations/calculations prove that beyond any doubt. 

Nikola Tesla referred to the earth as a "Realm" ,whatever that means?

Many flat earthers believe the 1892 Gleason map to be the most correct map of the earth. 

Wits-end

Just a suggestion, let’s get back to the OP and what is “new” in cosmology. While I enjoy a comical diversion as much as anyone, the non relevant arguments are getting quite boring. I know, I’ve violated my own suggestion more than once, but I am interested in what the JW telescope is revealing to us, not George “Carlson” quotes.

Wits-end - There is no JWT 1 million miles away from earth. 

Whatever NASA's conceptual artists can dream up is what you shall get.

Gleason did not publicly address the contradiction between his book and his patent application. The team at Boston Rare Maps (here) https://bostonraremaps.com/inventory/alexander-gleason-flat-earth-1892/, which sold a rare copy of the map, said on their website they read the passage in the patent application, “as Gleason unwittingly fessing up that his map is, like any other, a projection of a globe or section thereof onto a flat surface.”

I doubt that since Gleason wrote a book called, Is the earth a globe?

Surprising as it may be to some, some people have been wrong throughout history. Gleason happens to be an example from Victorian times.

For some reason he was unable to process basic facts such as that the map of the stars is spherical and the part of it which you can see depends on how near you are to one of the poles. For example, Polaris is NEVER visible once you are a little distance into the Southern hemisphere. At latitude X degrees below the equator, the entire region X degrees from the North Pole of the sky (near Polaris) is not visible.

Even very simple facts like this are not understood by (frankly) unperceptive flat-Earthers.

It is called the Law of Perspective Elroch. Learn it. 

According the globe believers the doors in a long hallway appear to get smaller the further away they are from the observer due to the curvature of the earth. 

How anyone can believe such foolishness is astonishing!

That is another false statement to add to the list - the phenomenon of perspective is true completely independently of the curvature of the Earth, and is true everywhere on and off Earth (in space that is sufficiently flat, which is most of it happy.png). Thus far, you have corrected one false claim you made, but the second one is still hanging along with this one. (I am not claiming this list is exhaustive).

To refresh your memory, the second false claim was that NASA cannot track the ISS.

noodles2112

If NASA could track their own rockets from launch to docking at the ISS then they would prove it via all those 1000's of alleged satellites surrounding the mythical ball earth. They would show a rocket launch and it would remain visible via video footage either from space/earth or both. Heck, we are talking a mere 250 miles up. They don't show that because they can't, except using CGI/cartoon animations. 

The law of perspective applies to doors in hallways, light poles on streets, clouds above to stars in the sky. There is no getting around it. 

The heliocentric claim of trillions of miles/light years away stars is ludicrous. They are much closer to earth. It was necessary to postulate/theorize these incomprehensible distances in the attempt to negate the fixed constellations. Just as they had to convince the masses that the sun is many times larger than the moon despite the observable fact to the contrary.
