And they all said Concorde flights were not affordable. I can see Bono or Lewis Hamilton flying on this. It will be a celebs machine. There is so much else one can do with $600,000. I know I wouldn't spend it on Virgin Galactic. I would buy a Mig 29 Edge of Space flight in Russia for 1/20th of the Virgin asked price. I came. I saw. I Concorde. For once you have tasted Concorde you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

User ID: 79377844 Australia 05/23/2021 04:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1. Lunar Phases of the moon: Clearly show a curved shadow not a flat line. And no its not a disk either because well: math and physics, learn them before debating this topic. 2. Varying star constellations: (the same constellations do not appear around the world. I've traveled to enough countries to confirm this! On a flat earth the constellations would always remain the same regardless of which country your in. 3. Shadows and sticks If you stick a stick in the (sticky) ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, then two sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow. This has been proven numerous time. 4. The higher up you climb, the farther you will see: Usually, we tend to relate this to Earthly obstacles—like the fact we have houses or other trees obstructing our vision on the ground, and climbing upwards we have a clear view—but that’s not the true reason. Even if you stood on a completely clear plateau with no obstacles between you and the horizon, you would see much farther from the greater height than you would on the ground. This phenomenon is caused by the curvature of the Earth as well, and COULD NOT happen if the Earth was flat! 5. Airplanes If you’ve ever taken a trip out of the country (which I'm assuming many flat earth believers haven't) specifically long-distance trips, you could notice two interesting facts about planes and the Earth: Planes can travel in a relatively straight line for a very long time and not fall off any edges. They can also circle the Earth without stopping. If you look out the window on a trans-Atlantic flight, you can, most of the times, see the curvature of the Earth on the horizon. The best view of the curvature used to be on the Concorde, but that plane’s long gone. This is proven by the video which op posted. (if it was a fish eye lense, the spaceship would be "bowed" which it clearly isn't. 6. Other planets are round and no they are not "cymatics" or "holograms." 7. The existence of time zones: The time in New York, at the moment these words are written, is 12:00pm. The sun is in the middle of the sky (though it’s hard to see with the current cloud coverage). In Beijing, it’s 12:00am, midnight, and the sun is nowhere to be found. In Adelaide, Australia, it is 1:30am. More than 13 hours ahead. There, the sunset is long gone—so much so, that the sun will soon rise up again at the beginning of a new day. 8. The pull of gravity: Here’s an interesting fact about mass: It attracts things to it. The force of attraction (gravity) between two objects depends on their mass and the distance between them. Simply said, gravity will pull toward the center of mass of the objects. To find the center of mass, you have to examine the object. An apple falls straight down not sideways regardless of where you are in the world. 9. Countless images from space: In the past 60 years of space exploration, we’ve launched satellites, probes, and people into space. Some of them got back, some of them still float through the solar system (and almost beyond it), and many transmit amazing images to our receivers on Earth. In all of these photos, the Earth is (wait for it) spherical. The curvature of the Earth is also visible in the many, many, many, many photos snapped by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. 10. It has even been debunked by flat earther's themselves numerous times. Search for "flat earthers debunk themselves" 11. NOT ONE REAL IMAGE exists of a flat earth. They are all cartoons, drawings and ancient maps (when science hadn't advanced to the level its today) Its funny they believe in God and the Bible, yet don't believe that an almighty super intelligent creator cannot create such a complex system. To keep something like this a secret requires a ridiculously amount of effort! You would literally have hundreds of scientists and physicists blowing the whistle. Free_Palestine |

The ONLY "proofs" the globetards have are : testimonies from astronauts, CGI crap, fish-eye lens low altitude footage. When globetards resort to things like "I bet computers and internet are magic for you too", it is similar to libtards calling racist when they lose an argument and they know it. I am sorry, but there wasn't, isn't and will never be a proof of Earth's curvature or movement. If you have ANY such proof (stupid ass VIDEOS are NOT proof, testimonies are not proof), that can be scientifically verified (yeah, you know, we LOVE science, not "Greeks knew, bla bla bla, and other shit) feel free and shame us. |

Artillery men calculate for the Coriolis effect and the curvature of the earth. Navy guys can hit targets that are over the horizon. I am sorry...WHAT? No one on the military calculates the Coriolis effect. No one in ANY practical field calculates for Coriolis effect. Not arty, not missiles, not snipers, not supersonic fighters, not civilian planes, not even a single practical field calculates the Coriolis effect. You are talking out of your ass. The Coriolis effect wasn't proved (afaik) in relation to Earth, as a spinning, spherical planet. |

Have a google trip in time, and see how many TIMES, since 1990, we were promised "in the next years (5-10) there will be hotels in space, tourists trips around the moon, around the Earth, we will go back to the moon" and other bullshit. Now, people like you (with very short memory span) are fooled with "we go to Mars", when NOTHING that they have said, which is easier to do, has yet to materialize. And this for a simple reason : the technology that common people have access to, is advanced enough to dismantle any "video proof" that is a fake. Last Edited by Recollector on 05/23/2021 05:24 AM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77386524 Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: No. A disc is a "circle", too. Earth is a flat, stationary realm, in the shape of a disc. It does not float in some imaginary "space", as spacetards would have it. "Space", as we have been indoctrinated to believe, simply does not exist. "Gravity" (in the sense of mutual mass attraction) was invented to explain the heliocentric theory of cosmology. What we call gravity is the result of the electrostatic gradient between earth and sky giving a preferred "down" direction (sky is positively charged, earth negatively) plus the effects of buoyancy and relative density. The "Cavendish Experiment" is utter BS. |

The sun sets, it doesn't circle the earth, for if it did it would "shrink" not set! Here are some other proofs. Quoting: Free_Palestine 1.

Look at the beginning of the video where the rocket is launching. Horizon starts flat. If empiricism is your enemy you're going to fall behind the curve. That's not all though. If the WIDE ANGLE lens (not fish eye, the distortion is a factor of compressing the data into a viewable square) couldn't do straight lines then why is stuff close to the lens straight? You people will do anything and make any critique in order to dismiss anything that challenges your paradigm.

Quoting: jlee2027 We know the truth and nothing will change the Flat Earthers minds. Why, then, does the earliest-known "globe" (as in classroom model) date from 1492? Educate yourself in the art of mapmaking. Mapping a land was nearly impossible. The globe even moreso. Much more, all those maps are recorded on perishable material. Take a look at some of the old maps. Not very useful but better than nothing. Mapping was a dangerous job. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Furthermore, do not conflate the old ancient depictions of the 'world' within the circle as a mapping of land.
