Before I want to know.
Then tell me how and where I can see live images from a satellite. I'd like to see trucks moving in your large roads. Thank you.

Are there man-made satellites in orbit around the Earth right now?
Certainly, fripp. For example, Orbview-3 took this image of the Astrodome and Reliant Stadium a couple of years ago: http://www.orbimage.com/news/img_week/image01.html
In the high-resolution image, you can clearly see the passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, and "semis" driving along the 610 Loop on the south side of Houston. (During satellite checkout, a 727 was captured on final approach to Dulles airport.)
OV-3 can take and immediately downlink ("real-time", but as I said before not in the Hollywood sense) high-resolution (1-meter) imagery. Non-US distributors routinely use this feature. Presumably, other commercial satellite imagery outfits have similar operational modes. (No, I don't work for the company that owns it.) |

Also airplanes can take those pictures.

So the only evidence that would convince you, BigBrain, of man-made satellites in orbit is live film from them. Did I get that right? So I would be correct in saying that you currently don't believe that there are man-made satellites in orbit?
If that is so, then I must ask:
1. As pointed out by other members, TV's, radio, and cell phones all work, or so we're told, by satellites. If these satellites aren't there, how is it that they work, and how many people are behind this conspiracy?
2. Why the hell would a live video feed convince you? If pictures can be faked, why not video? Couldn't it just be from a high airplane? |
Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Quit ducking the issue, coward. Answer the question. It's easy.
Are there man-made satellites in orbit around the earth right now?
And since I can already see that you are itching to say "NO", please explain how television and telephones and satellite radio and satellite TVs work in the absence of satellites. "I don't know" is COMPLETELY UNacceptable as an answer.
Step up to the plate, punk, and answer the question. |

I need them to answer your question. I believe only what I see.
  
Which explains why you don't understand basic physics and don't understand applied physics. It also explains your tendency to believe conspiracy theories.
I accept your concession of defeat. |

I wonder if he "believes" that air exists? Or radio? Or New Zealand? Or cuttlefish? Or the packets of data which make up the TCP used to look at and reply to posts on this forum?

New Zealand? Oh pleazee...

Its all a conspiracy started by that Peter Jackson dude to raise money for his movies. |

Ok, I'm happy. BBBBBB says no. I don't believe he exists, either, since I can't see him.
And I know he's just teasing us, but bleh, it's soooooooo entertaining. |

Here's something else for b to cast doubt upon:

The Solar System Gets Crazier
By Robert Roy Britt

A swath of space beyond Neptune is getting stranger all the time as astronomers find an ever-more diverse array of objects in various orbits and groupings.
A pair of discoveries this month along with a handful of others in 2005 have begun to reveal what some astronomers long suspected: The outer solar system contains a dizzying array of round worlds on countless odd trajectories around the sun, often with multiple satellite systems.
The problem is, current theories of the solar system's formation and evolution can't account for it all.
I confess that I don't know which acronym of buffoons is in charge of this. I'm sure someone will pass along that info along with a detailed critique.
