They'll just say the photo is fake.

@Xuan12 I've even tried to tell them that they can see it go by with their own damn eyes if they used one of the various ISS trackers on the Internet to find out when it will be going overhead in the evening where they live. Nothing can get into the bubble.

@SW-User And they'll say it's all fake, fake, fake. It's unlikely that they'll ever fly at high enough altitude to see it themselves either. But no kidding, there are a ton of ways to debunk or question the idea of a flat earth, it's just comical really.
Some of them are fond of the idea that the sun just circles overhead. I like asking them why it falls over the horizon then.

@Xuan12 You don't need to be on a plane, the ISS is as bright as Venus when it's lit by the Sun, and it drifts by at a lazy pace until it winks out when it goes into shadow. I've seen it a few times when I was outside, not even looking for it. I thought that since these people won't believe anything unless they see it with their own eyes, well they can see it from their back yards.

@SW-User Oh, that's what you meant. Haha. I fear that wouldn't do it either. The one's I know would just make up some magical reason about how it's up there.

@Xuan12 By that time it was obvious to them that I was part of The Conspiracy, so I wasn't going to be getting anywhere regardless 🙄
