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..... 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. You should maybe stop posting for a while... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51013017 have you ever looked into camera optics? they make special lenses that do not curve the image. 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. 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. 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79104722 United States 05/22/2021 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The real and easiest proof is in the time it takes a Vendee Globe sail boat to circumnavigate Antarctica. Quoting: Justme C'est Moi 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. :) 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 |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78107532 Canada 05/22/2021 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. I missed the part where that proves anything. |

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. Science for the win! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79104722 United States 05/22/2021 10:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only camera that is not subject to barrel distortion would be a pinhole camera obscura without lenses... which is a shitty camera to say the least. Quoting: BFD 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 but that footage doesn't exist |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79104722 United States 05/22/2021 10:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The fact that people in the Southern Hemisphere see the same shit when looking south is all flat earthers need to know. Quoting: BFD You aren't looking outward from the edge of a disc, that's just retarded considering the first statement. if there were a dome over our heads and the stars took formation of this dome, it would give the illusion for me the fact that the sun's heat is felt directly overhead and i can see a visible change in the suns size when i go higher in altitude, indicates that the sun is much closer and smaller than what they say, not 93 million miles |

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. |

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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78068423 United States 05/22/2021 10:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 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.

If you have one let's hear it. 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 |
