And you must not grasp the size of the ball we live on if you think you can see any noticable curvature from 30 miles up. That is a flea on a basketball trying to see curvature. You will probably start seeing noticable curvature at around 300 miles up but that still would be a fly on a basketball relatively speaking. Tards. |

The actual diameter is 12,742,000 meters. 17 miles is 27.36 km or 27360 meters That pilot would have been floating 27360 / 12,742,000 = 0.0021472 meters above that ball or 0.21472 millimeters above the surface of that 1 meter ball. Do you stil think he could have seen any curvature? |

Or massively bigger than we are being told, but still a gravity friendly spheroid. or perhaps there's just a bit of extra land they want for themselves, either way something is hoaxey |

Too bad there aren't any. It's funny how many people can't actually accept the biggest lie/conspiracy that we've ever been told, that would literally collapse society if to be proven "true".

Relatively speaking. ISS 350km altitude = 350,000 meters = 350,000 / 12,742,000 = 0.0274682 meters = 2.74682 millimeters above the ball. Geosynchronous orbits 42,164km altitude = 42,164,000 meters = 42,164,000 / 12,742,000 = 3.31 meters away from the 1 meter ball. Matches the perspective in the pictures taken from those sattelites. |

The only thing you are right about is the fact that your public school failed you. The globe is round and there was an obvious curve of the surface. Not flat. |
F-BVFA User ID: 48442288 France 09/12/2015 02:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How did they measure the weather balloon's altitude? It seems the highest they reached was 98,000ft before the balloon burst and the camera dropped down back to Earth. What was it that made the balloon burst at that altitude, not before or after? I need to look at how high up the Red Bull Stratos/Felix Baumgartner reached before he made his free fall jump. 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.

By the responses, people aren't use to arguing about this. 1+1=2, and the Earth is round (except for a long time ago when we were dumb, and we thought the Earth was still flat). Those are the very first things we are taught. |

It seems the highest they reached was 98,000ft before the balloon burst and the camera dropped down back to Earth. What was it that made the balloon burst at that altitude, not before or after? I need to look at how high up the Red Bull Stratos/Felix Baumgartner reached before he made his free fall jump. The lack of atmospheric pressure at a certain altitude will make the balloon expand beyond the limits of the fabric. It can probably be calculated give or take a few hundred meters. |
