That is why, if you travel, you will see at the equator satellite dishes are pointing almost directly up into the sky, because typically the geosynchronous communications satellites are directly above the equator. They are sending their signals and receiving their signals from somewhere in the sky, typically somewhere directly above the equator. Satellite dishes are not pointing at ground based towers and because they are not pointing at ground based towers they can not be getting their signals from or transmitting to ground based towers. Sattelite Dishes don’t Point at Ground-Based Towers So it is an absolutely established fact that we can point our satellite dishes up into the sky, aim them at satellites, and send and receive radio communications from the satellites. But my dear flat earther your parabolic satellite dish is not pointing towards a ground-based tower, your satellite dish is aimed at a point in the sky above the equator and it is are receiving a radio signal from that point which is being relayed from a ground station and your dish can also transmit a signal to that point which will be relayed to the ground station. They do not know a satellite dish is a parabolic reflector that focuses on a very small point in the direction it is pointed at… Flat earthers see all these satellite dishes pointing up into the sky and they sit down and watch the cable television coming from their satellite dish and say it is all done with ground based towers.

They think there are no GPS satellites, no weather satellites, no communications satellites. The flat earth doctrine is that everything we think is being done by satellites is done by towers on the ground, like cell phone towers.

Flat earthers deny the existence of space so they need to deny the existence of satellites also.
