Scientific Lee - feeds conspiracies with his opinion that "gravity and the ISS (International Space Station) do not exist"
Dear readers,
We recognize that Scientific Lee is not a flat Earth advocate.

Dear Scientific Lee,
It's unfortunate that your lack of science understanding and susceptibility to conspiracy theories has led you down this wrong path. The Earth is a beautiful blue globe spinning on axis once per day, and in revolution around the Sun.
When you believe in a conspiracy theory because you want it to be true, that's when you get into trouble. You are currently on the wrong side of history.
Listed below are posts that debunks conspiracy claims made by Scientific Lee on his YouTube channel.

Scientific Lee = Lying for Christ.

SciManDan says,
“So he’s talking about the Vomit Comet. Fine. So thin works by first boing to about 24,000-feet, then starting a 45 degree climb up to about 32,000-feet. Then the pilot will fly down the parabolic flight path and for the next, and this is the important bit. 20 or 30 seconds or so you will fall with the plane simulating a weightless environment.”
Conclusion = Scientific Lee's assertion that the ISS (International Space Station) does not exist - is false.
Also, many of the ISS videos show astronauts in weightlessness for much longer that 20-30 seconds, which is the limit that the zero-g plane can achieve.
FACT CHECK - Scientific Lee you FAIL

Sizing up the International Space Station Using the Moon
This landmark parallax study of the ISS as viewed from the Earth's surface confirms that it is real, and currently in orbit.
Experimental results conducted and presented by YouTube channels:
Astronomy Live (using Meade LX200 telescope)

Reds Rhetoric (using P900 camera)

and Vincent (using P900 camera).
Transit occured on March 3, 2018.
Abstract:
Altitude, size and velocity of the ISS determined by transit over the Moon, as seem at 2 different surface locations simultaneously.
Both observers see the ISS at the same time, at slightly different positions in the sky, due to parallax.

ISS High Magnification Tracking - 5/17/2020, by Astronomy Live

Tracked with SatTraker:

Music: Between the Rings by Stellardrone Filmed with an 8" Meade LX200 Classic with a 2x barlow (f/20) and Canon T5i. Tracked using SatTraker. The video frames were then stabilized and stacked in a 5 frame rolling average using a custom Python script which also added the time code, altitude, azimuth and range numbers to the video based on the orbital elements of the space station.

One of the Best Pictures Ever Taken of ISS from the Ground. You Can Even See the Canadarm2, by Nancy Atkinson of universetoday.com
(https://www.universetoday.com/146830/one-of-the-best-pictures-ever-taken-of-iss-from-the-ground-you-can-even-see-the-canadarm2/)
Excerpt:
"Astrophotographer Thierry Legault is renowned for his amazing shots of spacecraft transiting the Sun. He’s now outdone even himself.
On June 24 and 25, 2020, Legault captured the International Space Station passing in front of the Sun with such clarity, even the station’s robotic arm, the Canadarm2, is clearly visible. The docked SpaceX Dragon capsule can also be seen. These latest masterpieces from Legault are the most detailed ISS images captured from Earth yet.
Legault credited some new equipment for the increased clarity.
“My new CFF apochromatic triplet 8″ refractor I bought 2 weeks before the shots seems to be optically very good,” he told Universe Today via email. “Focusing is critical and is always a challenge, especially nowadays because there are no sunspots. I had to focus on the solar limb, and fortunately, at the distance of the ISS, there’s no difference in focusing between the Sun and the ISS.”
Legault said the camera he uses, and Olympus E M-1 II, has the fastest continuous shooting: 60 frames per second in 20 Mpix Raw mode. But he has less than a second to capture the space station’s pass in front of the Sun....."

Scientific Lee returns on today's Tinfoil Tuesday, as he attempts to give us what he feels is the only true explanation as to what powers DNA. In a video that needs to be seen to be believed, Lee seems to have it all worked out!

Why do flat-eathers have such a hard time believing the International Space Station (ISS) is real when they can literally buy a telescope and see fo themselves?
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-flat-earthers-have-such-a-hard-time-believing-the-ISS-is-real-when-they-can-literally-buy-a-telescope-and-see-for-themselves
That's why there are thousands of flat-earth videos on YouTube where they:
- Claim video of activities aboard the ISS are faked in high altitude aircraft doing a parabolic maneuver
- Make fun of "astro-NOTS"
- Insult NASA as liars
- Claim all videos of the Earth from space are Hollywood style CGI fakes
- Assert that the ISSTracker ~ Real-Time Location Tracking of the International Space Station software is actually tracking a high altitude drone
Does this look like a drone?

From the Wikipedia page about him: Ralf Vandebergh - Wikipedia
"The image shows not only the ISS with very special lighting angle but also it shows activity around the ISS which is often the case. You see the Japanese Cargo Ship HTV-1 in its demonstration flight shortly before docking and just a few hundred meters below the ISS."
Ralf Vandebergh (born 1976) is a Dutch astronomer, professional photographer and veteran satellite spotter from Nijswiller (nl). He is known for photographing the Sun, Moon, planets, satellites, NASA Space Shuttles, and the International Space Station from Earth using a telescope-mounted camera. His work is widely published in the media.
