Nice try :-)
Unfortunately, it doesn't explain the show running on my tv now. It has been
bounced off a satellite which weighs significantly more than 1 kg.
Surely you're not saying that there are no satellites?
The dish wouldn't work unless the satellite was in the exact direction the
dish is pointing.
That's empirical evidence of space travel right there.

Silly Laura. There are tens of thousands of AWACS flying
racetrack patterns all over the world. The television you are
seeing isn't being bounced off a satellite, it is beamed directly
from the AWACS to 'satellite' receivers. Of course, cable
television never receives any transmissions from space; those big
dishes you see at the cable offices are just for show. The real
signal comes on land-lines.

I thought everyone knew this.


Of course I realize you're pulling my leg, but if you weren't, I'd point out
that satellites are observable through a telescope.

No, the only thing that was faked was the presence of intelligent life in
your living room.

Laura,

Have you done so? If so, how did you know it was a satellite,
and not a silver-colored Blackbird flying on the same trajectory?
If not, then how do you know that everyone with a telescope is
not in a giant conspiracy to perpetuate the lie of satellites.

I can keep this up all day, Laura; I've read enough kook
conspiracy theories to know that they are seamless, and all data
can be bent to fit any given theory.

Now try to imagine the earth-bound technology that could produce
Iridium flashes. Breathtaking science, and breathtaking
scientific conspiracy.

I'll have to think about this one, but wouldn't it be easier to actually
launch the 50-odd satellites needed :-)

Ha! They fooled you!
Those things up there in orbit are
FAKE SATELLITES! yuk yuk


Landing a man on the moon is a tremendously difficult project.
Faking it and getting away with it would be ten times harder.

Yes! Of course!
They're actually just a bunch of pointy tinfoil hats, placed there in an
ambitious bid to protect all of humanity from alien mind control.

Laura,

Now you've got it! With a little more practice, you too can be
a usenet kook and post nonsense with high dudgeon at will.
