Flat Earth

Or maybe round and flat, like a disc.

They are all being paid by Obama. Putin handles the ex-soviet part.

Don't tell anyone, it has to be kept a big secret.

Or maybe it's not a secret and the reason they don't tell the truth is because the world couldn't handle it. 😉

No. Because of refraction which allows one to see for over 200km to the horizon.

Now why is the moon "upside down" to me in NZ?[/b]

Before you push that button, I encourage you to research light refraction.
The looming which occasionally occurs (one of four types of superior mirages) is temperature dependent.
There are other factors, but that's a big one.
The views we are talking about are prevalent in any and all temperature variants.
In fact, these views are only rendered impossible (or heavily restricted) in atmospheric or weather related situations, i.e., clouds, haze, rain, fog, smog or etc..
Short story: refraction of light simply cannot explain these everyday examples.

Assuming the earth is as described, how does the presentation of the Moon to different places on the earth's surface pose a problem?

It's not my responsibility to ascertain anyone's motivation in their malfeasance.
It is my task to be oriented to reality in whatever manner it is presented.
The overwhelming majority of science has literally zero consideration of the earth's shape, so lumping all fields into the mix only serves to bolster the vastness (thus the preposterousness) of the nefarious agenda.
I think you give far too much credit and goodwill to a government agency... especially considering that government's historical reliance on propaganda to serve its hidden objectives.

Then answering one of the two questions put forth here should be child's play for you.
If NASA is, in reality, in possession of facts and truth, why would the organization opt to lie?

Set that aside.
Why do they lie about anything: why put out images which are not actual pictures, but are instead "composites" which are clearly Photoshopped and otherwise manipulated?
Why Photoshop anything?
How in God's name can the earth be the same size in the moon's sky as the moon is in the earth's sky, as seen in many pics taken from the lunar landings?

The earth would look a whole lot larger wouldn't it. In fact, the dimensions should be the opposite.

Well, if you're going to throw that wildcat formation, common sense, into it!

Seems right doesn't it? Standing on the moon's surface shouldn't the earth appear 25 times larger compared to how the moon appears while standing on the earth?

The earth would be huge!

But haven't I seen pictures like that?

The moon has no atmosphere conforming itself to the curvature of its surface.

In other words, from the moon you are looking at the earth through a vacuum.
