Any decent photographer will engage in "post processing" work using Photoshop and other photo editing software. That doesn't mean they're faking the photo. It means they're taking out imperfections, glare, excessive shading, etc. to make it appealing. Portrait photographers do this all the time. That doesn't mean the subject in their photos is fake. [/quote] Still the fact remains there aren't any non photoshopped photos of earth from space. There is no footage from a craft leaving space for deep orbit of the earth getting smaller. Elon or the recent mars mission could have easily produced this footage and it would have been really cool. Why didn't they? [/quote] theres a link to such a photo ON THIS PAGE OF THE THREAD [/quote]

Besides the usual, "obviously its a sphere, idiot" rhetoric. Let's discuss the merits of both models, using actual evidence and counter evidence.
Im perfectly fine to believe either, as long as it is the truth.
First and foremost, all supposed pictures of the Earth of space, are admittedly (by those that created the images) photoshopped. Lets start here and see where we go.
