Let's just say I don't live in the same silly reality you imagine, with absurd principles that even a five year old can disprove. Most of us are equipped to understand the reality in which we live, others simply tilt at windmills.

I'm not trying to be mean; I'm genuinely curious. I don't understand how someone can even get through the day if this is how they interpret the world in which they live.
None of you understand the point of this thread, or the contents
which I have posted.
Well, you did make it sound like you were subscribing to this notion and you did defend it. So what was the point of the thread?
You said that the sun and stars was visible to astronauts because the light was interacting with the glass. Don't you think the same light would interact with the lenses in your eyes? So you would see stars and the sun in space anyway.

And yet people believe the images we get from the Mars rovers are not true representations of the outlook from those rovers. If they ARE true representations then our scientists can use them to study off-world features and make predictions, analyses etc.
Unfortunately, if you believe they ARE true representations of the scenery at those locations, then there are things in those images which science is ignoring or dismissing for whatever reason. Like ignoring or denying the elephant in the room, science is appearing to be blinkered and no better than people who believe in a flat earth.
The same comment you have made which I quoted above can be aimed at science too. The 'lunacy' extends to scientists who will not move forward and perform critical analysis because it is opposed to their cherished beliefs.
It IS possible that our understanding needs to be enlarged to encompass other as-yet-undiscovered-by-mainstream laws. For example, maybe there is a way to effectively move faster than light. Maybe there is plant life on Mars?
As you point out in the quoted piece above, this is all out there on the internet, yet some people dont want to acknowledge it.
Snowball, what I really want to know is why can't we see all the turtles holding up the flat disc of the earth, but instead you waste our time with this silliness.
Im with snowball here. First, at this time with all the observations unexplained from the sun.. if you still believe it is a nuclear reactor up in the sky.. then you are not a science person. More like a religious person to me.
The sun could easily be a fully electrical phenomena and it may or may not emit visible light. The issue here is that it cannot be proven neither of the theories. If you look at it at free space with naked eye.. you dont live to tell the story. If you use a visor.. you couldn´t tell if your are looking at visible light thats generated at the sun surface or at the visor. This would also happend with any type of instrument used to test this.
