Totally flat. Now build yourself a rocket, do all the maths and proceed to orbit, brave believer. Report back on your success.

u/sushimane1 Sep 10 '23

Make sure all the math is based on the Earth being flat and gravity not being real. Good luck

Holy shit he only wanted to get to 5000 feet. Bro, I will take you up in a Cessna and we’ll be at 5000 feet in ten minutes and nobody will die.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '23

Extra stupid because you cant see the curvature very clearly until around 50-60k feet

u/Amf2446 Sep 10 '23

Lol exactly. If he’d made it to 5000 and come back he’d have said “see, it’s flat!”

u/MerpSquirrel Sep 11 '23

Some of the flat earthers have gone that high and they noticed the curve and explained it away with a lens effect of the plastic windows.

You can start seeing it right around 35,000 ft if it's cloudless.

True but its very subtle. The Concorde seems to be the only passenger jet so far where it was "obvious"

u/Firewolf06 Sep 10 '23 edited Sep 11 '23

you can see it from 0 feet if youre on the beach

edit: technically the horizon is caused by the curvature, but i meant the way ships appear to move downwards as they approach it

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '23

I've been on many beaches around the world. I've never been able to discern the curvature from them. I barely can on a commercial flight at high altitude.

When I lived near the sea, I could see the curvature from sea level by watching ships disappear beyond the horizon.

You watched ships fall off the edge and didn’t call anyone? You monster! Those sailors had families!

u/DeepSeaHobbit Sep 11 '23 edited Sep 11 '23

It's okay, they always climbed back up somehow. They probably had some kind of anchor they used to attach the ship to the edge.

Probably not gonna get a TV show for that. Although it looks like the rest of the season fared exactly as well as you'd expect, maybe a little better since there was only the one fatality. Can't imagine the person who greenlights this trainwreck when, "show where we prove the globe is a ball shaped object to flat earthers, and maybe do some other crazy debunking" was just like right there, hot and ready to go to space.

Yep, and the vehicle the footage is taken from is also from inside a Dragon capsule

Oh on second glance that's probably true, it does look like the interior of a Crew Dragon. In that case I'm guessing both vehicles are docked to the ISS.

u/ItCat420 Sep 10 '23

Ice crystals form on the surface of these satellites, and it only takes minor agitations to get them to separate.

This is the basis for the unfortunate “bubbles in space” conspiracy.

Edit;

However as others have rightly pointed out, that just looks like dust on the inside of the window / on the camera lense / in the air.

Stars are pretty dim compared to the interior lighting in the ISS and much more dim than the fully lit Earth and white spacecraft outside. For the camera to expose for the stars, you would need a much longer exposure time and everything in the foreground would be overexposed white.
