22 Private citizen builds his own rocket and takes pictures of Earth's curvature. Why can't flat earthers do this? (www.youtube.com) posted 2 years ago by SmokeAndMirrors 2 years ago by SmokeAndMirrors +26 / -4 71 comments share 71 comments share save hide report block hide replies
The horizon doesn’t curve at any attainable altitude. This image is due to distortion (typically barrel distortion from the lens).
Though it is certainly impressive for a private rocket to get 56 miles up. How many people worked on it and how much did it cost to build?
The answers to those questions may explain why most people make observations like this with balloons available for a couple hundred bucks.
