.I really went into this with an open mind. I says to myself, ok, let’s see this proof....

Lol...

This SCHLEP said PROOF! HAHAHAHA!!!

You said curvature, but cannot recognize the fact a fish eye lens is causing the distortion(curvature)

Or

That if that was the curvature, he can not recognize how wrong the size of the continents are below him. That alone shows the ‘starship’ is actually much lower than claimed.

You space fanbois will believe any’thing!! Lol.....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37645337


The lens flare of the sun off the polished body of the spacecraft is a straight line.

But wait there is more...

This is repeated in several different directions therefore no fish eyed lens was used since Fish Eyed lens always curve the image they capture.

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
it's called a fish eye lens.

have you ever looked into camera optics?

they make special lenses that do not curve the image.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51013017


Here's why you are wrong:

A fisheye lens bends light meaning there cannot be any straight lines visible in the video and yet they are all over the place.

The only answer is that it is not a fish eyed lens but is a standard video camera or a go-pro.
 Quoting: GORGLESNARGLE


No, the point is a fish eye lens is calibrated so the center of the image is straight and the edges can not be.

That's why there is a curve.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51013017


So what you are saying is that the lens is calibrated to bend the curve of the horizon and yet create straight lines close to it.

Just one problem with your premise....

Fisheye lens bend the horizon in the opposite direction, they create a bowl shaped image, not a bowed curve in the opposite direction.

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
The real and easiest proof is in the time it takes a Vendee Globe sail boat to circumnavigate Antarctica.

If the flat Earther map was true, the journey would take around 6 months I think.

But they do it in around 20 days. Typing the times by memory, but the point is, the sailboats have a well understood speed and making the much longer journey of a flat Earth map, in the times they post would be impossible.

But it doesn't matter how much proof you show them. They just shove their fingers in their ears and go La La La. :)
 Quoting: Justme C'est Moi


1) the fastest time the vendee was completed was 74 days and change

2) they don't travel near Antarctica, they travel closer to the equator, so 24000 miles seems right, they also go north after crossing south america

so you come here with assumptions and reference a race you don't even understand, then you tell others they won't listen to reason

interesting

Absolutely stunning video from a rocketship launched from an Airplane and flown into space which clearly shows the curvature of the earth for even the dumbest flatearther to see.

No CGI involved and no space mice were harmed during this flight.

Pretty soon now that it has officially flown into space, it will be available for tourist flights.

All lenses bend straight lines, it's called barrel distortion.

Even your naked eye does it if you are trained to perceive it.

The Earth is a ball but this video doesn't prove shit.

you know all the rockets that have been launched over the years, even recently, you would think we could get just one with a rear facing camera that shows the earth shrinking as it moves away

would be really cool and wouldn't really cost anything extra, since there already are rear facing cameras that just get shut off after a certain point

When is a fisheye lens not a fisheye lens?

When it isn't one.

Fisheye lens are convex not concave, to bow the horizon in the curve of a sphere you would need a concave lens and the effects are quite different than a fisheye lens.

No, you misunderstand the flat earth model.

The FE model assumes that people on the edge of the disc (southern hemisphere) are looking southward when they are looking outward from it's center.

It would follow that they would all be looking at different portions of the dome in the FE model, but that's not the case.

They see the southern cross.

Re: Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.
Looks flat to me, plus in some parts it curves one way then the other meaning fish eye is used. They didn't go far enough away from the earth to see a good large view, they were close to the earth yet. Don't get me wrong I want to knownone way or the other, but flat earthers have been more
More convincing. I never once heard a flat earthen go "duck it retards, fucking morons" which stuff like that takes credibility away

the sun moves in a circle over our heads

seasons are a result of the sun moving closer to the north during our summer and south during our winter

the sun locally heats and illuminates

the south pole is still -60 in their summer time, with 24 hour sun coverage, at the same time near the equator it's 90

this points to a closer and smaller sun
