Virgin Galactic proves the Earth is a sphere.

the southern cross can be visible in Hawaii

obviously you can't see it during the day because the sun

all that means is that the stars rotate over us, doesn't prove the earth is a globe

as far as explaining the model, i can give you all sorts of explanations, what do you want?

we already covered southern cross so what's next?

how about you explain how the gravity of the sun doesn't pull in the smaller planets?

MAAAAA

I DUN SEEN BALLS IN THE SKY

THAT MEANS THAT WE LIVE ON A BALL

I IZ SMART

The actual curve of the earth for one; it clearly seen from various angles and by multiple cameras onboard the spacecraft.

Flat earthers want to believe that every camera has a fisheye lens despite the fact that the curve of the earth is in a different direction than a fisheye lens would capture it.

I have proven that fisheye lens do not curve the image to show the earth as a sphere, at their best they can only show the earth's horizon as a bowl.

We aren't done with the Southern Cross.

You can only see it when looking southward in the southern hemisphere and can be seen by all just like we see Polaris in the north.

How can this be explained in a FE model?

Be specific.

Your stupidity is showing.

They drive south from France, All the way to their closest approach to Antarctica possible within the rules and the iceberg hazards.

Then they travel right around Antarctica. Here is the tracking map.

Then they sail North back to France.

I have been a sailor for 30 fucking years.
And I used to work for BOC.

You might have to adjust the view magnification to see the entire route. I trust you know how to use a mouse.

You can see the date and time of each boat as it circumnavigates Antarctica. Proving your flat earth bullshit is pure bullshit.

The Earth is round, but the barrel distortion is what makes that curvature in the footage.... I've said it many times now, you would need to be at least 100 miles up to even detect a curve because the Earth is fucking huge.

Sigh.

I'm trying to help both flat earthers and ball earthers right now... lol.

Good luck, y'all.

Yes, one problem is the Flerfers don't realize how big the Earth really is.

I gotta tell you, I've spent 40 years in visual design, fine arts and corporate photography. I do not see how you can say that this is definitive proof as a round disc would appear very similar at those angles and distances, as a globe would. Discs have curves, too. Try again young adamant Jedi.

the southern cross rotates across the sky

it can't be tracked during the day because of the sun

polaris on the other hand, does not move

now explain how the suns gravity doesn't pull in the smaller planets

I honestly didn't get a sense of it until I set it up in 3d to see it for myself.

At 100 miles up the line is still basically flat.

I think it's around 130-150 miles where you can start to see it it arc.

No proof.

everybody has it wrong, yet is so simple.
earth is a tube, look forward its a sphere, look left or right, its straight

Actually the footage has existed for years.




And it has been done since 1946 on the very first rockets sent into space...

Watching this argument, flat vs globe, is like watching people who don't want the drug injection argue with people who do want the injection, but both sides calling it a *vaccine* ."

They're so sure they're right, that they never stop to wonder why this argument is happening at all, and then go after those responsible for it. The argument is the box you've been put in and by fighting each other, you obediently stay in it.

Any wanna be famous off roader has better footage of their shenanigans than the space footage. I don't give two craps whether or not the earth is flat, globe, a disc, a donut. What I do care about is the fact that billions of dollars have gone into this thing with reasonable doubt that anyone has ever gone anywhere. If we have been, why use cgi as the iconic images for everything.

Something stinks and you pro globe people refuse to admit there's a stench. And you flat earthers need to organize and demand answers instead of fighting the globers.

Explain Sigma Octantis, the south star.

Simple Question: How does a fisheye lens curve images of the horizon?

The Flerfers are asking for video of a rocket going far into Space, like 50 thousand miles, so that the Earth looks like a small round ball.

they dont travel "right around Antarctica"

they are also restricted to above the 46 the line of latitude

that's not even close to antarctica

looking at this route on a flat earth it makes sense the 24000 estimated distance and record time of 74 days

You really need to look up how barrel distortion works.

also rotates

and is barely visible by the way

are you going to try and answer my question yet?

or you want to move the goalpost some more?

AOC said they're working on all-electric space craft, they're just having trouble keep the knots out of the 200,000+ foot extension cords.

I haven't moved anything, we are still dealing with the same argument.

Why do people in the southern hemisphere all see the night sky revolve around Sigma Octantis when looking magnetic south?

Barely visible how?

You can always increase the exposure of your camera to catch lower-light scenarios so that's a non-issue.

Barlow lens anyone?

No shit! Who the FUCK thinks ANY planet is flat. When you are in an airplane you can kind of see the curvature. Hell, even when sky diving you can a little. I guess they think it's flat because we don't fall off, therefore denying gravity? LOL! That is how children think. Good Lord, I have heard everything!

There is ZERO NOTHING in the way of globe or rotation proof in history.

It's stationary and faces up.

again, because it rotates

people in australia are looking at the night sky at the opposite time of people in south america

beyond that explanation i would like to see proof that everyone can see this star at the same time in the sky anywhere in the southern hemisphere

as far as i can tell this is just an assumption

Even your Barlow lenses have barrel distortion.

You can try to eliminate barrel distortion by using a longer focal length but it's still there and now you are only viewing a smaller potion of the image which is counterproductive to showing something huge like the curvature of the Earth.

Have you personally gone anywhere in southern hemisphere and actually photographed it and tracked it?

no, no you haven't.

you are getting stuck on this one unprovable thing and declaring that's all the evidence you need

there are many many many other angles and issues involved with this debate

Let me reframe this.

Why do people in the Southern Hemisphere see the night sky revolve around Sigma Octantis when looking south while people in the Northern Hemisphere see the night sky revolve around Polaris when looking north?

What could possibly explain this in a FE model?
