Because Planet Earth II was just freaking awesome.
The penguins are soldiers that guard the antarctic ice wall against exploration by flat earthers.

Re: SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.
This is certainly not a green/blue screen, it's a blue reference grid... Who uses a green screen with white lines in it? There are also many wrinkles on the blue grid. Anyone who isn't ignorant on the subject knows that you can't have wrinkles on a green screen. Plus the astronaut is wearing a shirt with blue in front o a supposed blue screen... Really? I work in post production, I've seen plenty of green screen.
You are simply ignorant on a subject and decide to take for granted what the video shows you instead of questioning it.
Argument from ignorance. You are accepting something on one side without questioning it,while discrediting everything from the other side without any good argument. If this video is a proof to you, then you are only showing how your bias is affecting your way of thinking.

Now you're just arguing semantics..whether it's gridded blue screen technology or green sreen or pink screen you're missing the point..if the iss is really in outer space like nasa claims there would be no such thing. If you really want to defend these liars that steal millions of our tax payer dollars each day that's your prerogative.

No it's not semantics, you simply didn't understand the point because of your ignorance of CGI technology and your obvious incapacity to actually read my point. That thing you see is certainly not used for CGI for all the reasons I listed. You simply chose to believe what the video tells you, even though it's created by someone who doesn't know CGI better than you. You didn't bother to research if it made any sense. It doesn't make sense. It's not a blue screen.
In another video from the NASA, I've seen one of those things with a planet stuck on it. The astronauts probably use it to help us understand distances. Or in this case, the ball is green and it would tough to see with the messy background, so the blue grid helps.I can't tell you what it is, but I certainly can tell you that it can't be what that video tries to tell you it is. You don't put a blue shirted guy in front of a blue screen. You can't have wrinkles on a blue screen, it has to be perfectly extended so the image you put on it doesn't have wrinkles. You don't have white lines on a blue screen.

Re: SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.
The best part about the people who truly believe in the "flat earth" theory is that they apparently must believe every single image of Earth from the ISS is fake.

Please assist. Thank you.
Yes, we live inside a firmament or dome. The whole ships will fall of the face earth narrative is impossible because the oceans and landmass are surrounded by the artic ring or aka Antarctica. We are not allowed to explore beyond the entry tourism point of antartica anything further will be met at gunpoint and asked to turn around by military guards. Antartica of course is agreed upon by all nations from the treaty that says no nation can claim it as their own terriotry. However we know that it's a huge site for military bases. They all know at some point near the edge will come to a dead end...the firmament. It also explains why the space shuttles that have launched unsuccessfully the past 50 years have mysteriously exploded in the sky bc once it got to high altitude it hit the dome. Basically the more you peel off the layers the more you realize that other events never happened aka satellites orbiting in outer space, man on the moon etc.
This is great!!!! My father is a pilot who claims to have flown to Australia by going East and by going West. Clearly not true. Is there an east and west, sunrise, sunset? How does the round dome keep some of the earth dark and some light at the same time and not reflect the light to everywhere? So fascinating - I wanna hear more
Obviously there's a huge rotating black blanket with star patterns

Re: SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.
If the Earth was a sphere, airplane pilots would have to constantly correct their altitudes by dipping their nose downward to account for the curvature of the Earth. At a normal cruising speed of 500 mph, a commercial airplane pilot would have to repeatedly dip the nose of the plane downwards and descend 2,777 feet every minute (approximately 50 feet per second) or the plane would quickly fly into space. Airplane pilots never perform this action.The lack of curvature can be tested yourself – get on a small airplane and level it out in the air and pay no attention to the horizon as you just maintain that exact same angle of flight. After about 45 minutes, if the spherical model is correct you should have to make a correction of nearly 6,000 feet to return to the same altitude; instead you will remain perfectly level with the ground. The same applies for submarines.

Flat earthers claim to do so much research, but all they really do is watch misguided, misinterpreted rhetoric compiled on youtube videos with spooky intro music and a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) slideshow. If you actually cared about flat earth and the "truth" as much as you claim, you'd actually do the research yourself and find the scientific explanations for all these alleged "flat earth phenomena". They've all been debunked by scientists, independent researchers and various other sources, from your "pilots would need to dip the nose of their plane down" to "There's no flights from Santiago, Chile to Perth, Australia nonstop" it's all false. But all flat earthers do is cite an example, get it debunked and either say "NASA is fake, its CGI" or move the goalposts to another asinine argument. The recent trend in anti-intellectualism is scary honestly.

Re: SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.

I honestly can't believe how many of you believe that Shaq wasn't playing a bit.
It's clear as day, I mean like it wasn't even played out well by him and everything and you still fell for it.
Wow. Like how many times does Shaq open his mouth and be serious anyway?

Re: SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.
Jon would you please directly address the most disputed issue with your world view.
The penguins.
Are they falling off the edge. If you can only please just fill me in on what is happening to these amazing birds. Who are these brave scientists who risked their lives to film adorable birds by the tens of thousands, when the edge of all that is known had to have been just over a ridge. Please tell me about penguins, Jon.

I see that these "meaningless" quotes went right over your head that explains alot.
How do you debunk the truth? Youre using flawed and fallible reasoning to counter the facts presented. Riightt..they just coincidentally decided to use the 2d surface of the earth for their logo. There's nothing to be convinced of the truth is right there in plain sight..I didnt choose to believe the flat earth to be edgy, to feel smarter than i am, or bc it fits a certain narrative..I know that it is flat based off logic reasoning and actual scientific evidence and actual proof these instituitions have been caught lying tome after time. Globe earthers ignore these very things and choose to follow the script laid out for them bc of their strong delusions and ego.

Re: SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.
Guys, arguing with flat Earthers is pointless. I've been through this before. I've argued the science numerous times, it doesn't matter. They come from the position of immediately rejecting anything opposing the theory. The "logic" is circular and always comes back to the same point, modern science is a lie and we are all mindless idiots for believing it. Meanwhile guys like Eric Dubay makes bank on books and talks on this nonscience. Brilliant on his part actually...

The penguins haven't gone anywhere..there is no edge bc they are protected by the firmament. They congregate amongst each other in the frozen tundra waddling along without a care in the world. The observing filmmakers and scientists go back inside their tents with not much exciting footage and call it a day. Once the camera goes off..they break out into flash mob dance to Billie Jean with all the other inhabiting creatures watching intently. The walruses are hysterical and slap each other with their flippers. The party soon comes to an end as the sun begins to set over the horizon and the penguins each head home into their gated community homes.
