Oh, those "scientists" have really got you conned! Now I have to take time out from my job as a kangaroo mechanic to shut this nonsense down. (Ever been at Disneyland just before closing time when figures start to have mechanical failures? Well, it's the same here.) The real reason that the [flat] moon is seen upside down from what you so quaintly call "down under" is that it is being viewed from the opposite side of the obviously flat earth. The technical drawing below demonstrates this. Simple really. Now I have a workshop full of kangaroos waiting for me to fix and someone in Melbourne (maybe Clackers) has to keep bottling pond water and sticking Fosters labels on it.
If the mods don't shut this thread down we will be out of a job, Pentax will lose a substantial market and then where will all the intelligent people all be?? You'll be shooting Canikon and blaming the flat earthers.
