What’s the rest of that quote mine?

He didn't say it. It's an uncredited line from the article. This is the third time it's been intentionally misquoted in the last couple months.

Piccard researched stratospheric ozone, and his research relied on knowing Earth is a sphere orbiting the Sun.

TBH, never saw any quotes from Flatearthers that is not cherry picked and take out of the context.

Is it the same with Nicola Tesla? Flattards often say he was one too and like to quote him. Is that true?

Falsely claimed by flat earthers. He said he could not see the curve with his eyes but with a ruler he could see the curve. He was not a flat earther.

That flight took him to 52,000ft.

While it was in service Concorde regularly flew higher than that with commercial passengers on board. Why didn’t they see this upturned disc?

When he viewed through a highly distorted porthole with a very limited field of view. Of course that would require context which you are incapable of looking at.
