NASA admitting to faking images

Debra AI Prediction
Arguments
To put into perspective just how close the ISS orbits to earth, if the planet Earth were the size of an apple, the ISS would orbit around 2.7 mm away from it's surface.
Another argument I hear flat earthers put forth quite often is that you can't "see the curvature" and that's for a very simple reason, a couple reasons actually, and I'll list them numerically here
1: The average human eye can only see about 3.1 miles in any direction (given certain atmospheric conditions can weaken or extend that range, the same general principle still applies)
2: assuming you are standing at a sea level of zero, only adding height for a reasonable human height of 6 feet tall, the horizon is 2.9 miles away and only hides 0.0067 feet of total height behind it
3: at an actual height of 1,341,000 feet you could effectively see for 1,441 miles (about 5-5.5 times the oribital height of the ISS) uninterrupted by earth's curvature
The other glaring problem I have with your argument is the "blue marble debunked video", if you look you can clearly see that adjusted for the angle of the photo and the frame of reference that the continents actually do match just perfectly, with Africa as the focal point it's just that alot of the other landmass is behind the curvature, especially considering how large of a chunk of Antartica is visible on the photo used as the purported evidence. The man describing the fallacies of the photos fails to realize that he himself is basing his argument on a flat map of the earth's surface, compared with a hundreds of thousands of miles away at an angle photo of the planet. Just because you cannot see the landmasses in the photograph does not mean that the landmasses were not there, they were simply hidden due to the angle of the photograph

"the ISS can only see about 3 percent of the earth's surface at one time, "
I've superimposed a still from the ISS feed on to of the globe cartoon ball to get an idea of how much the ISS can see of the earth. 3 percent? Maybe...
Here is another still proving that NASA is manipulating images of earth.
As you can see, the solar panel has a definite curve to it, that somewhat matches the earths, signifying the use of a wide angle lens, which curves straight lines.
The ISS certainly isn't the only satellite supposedly taking images of the earth. Regardless, anyone can take scans of something flat, then project it onto a sphere.
"The average human eye can only see about 3.1 miles in any direction (given certain atmospheric conditions can weaken or extend that range, the same general principle still applies)"
Technically and mathematically, about 3.1 miles to the horizon should be all we can see, depending on the object's height above sea level, and if the observer is standing at sea level (6 feet up).

But of course we flat earthers know this isn't the case. Instances of up to 150+miles have been reported.
As for the response to the videos, I have no opinion. They are images, which are easy to manipulate, as has been shown.

My question is why they would need to fake images of the Earth so blatantly if the Earth was truely a ball floating in outerspace, going around the sun faster than sound (Which should prevent us from hearing anything at all, but it doesnt cuz gravituh), specifically around a sun going around the galaxy at 66,000 MPH, specifically a galaxy moving around some magical singularity faster than light (which I thought was scientifically impossible)
