Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Rob Skiba - balloon launch failure with loss of GoPro camera and stabilization gimbal - time to learn from High School students how to do it correctly


Dear Rob Skiba,

Since your balloon launch was such a failure, you should read and learn from some of the articles below, about successful balloon launches by students. Their pictures all clearly show that the Earth is curved, so why are you wasting your donor's money?  

A technical critique of the balloon launch by Sly Sparkane can be found at the bottom of this article.

Westwood Middle School lived up to its aeronautical mascot, the Rockets, Friday when students released a high altitude balloon that reached an anticipated altitude of 100,000 ft. On board were an array of sensors to capture atmospheric data, a GoPro and marshmallows that the students will observe as it enters the stratosphere.
