RICHARD BRANSON PROVES SOMETHING OR OTHER

Submitted by Hardscrabble Farmer

Thanks Dick!

Between 21 and 24 seconds the Earth suddenly becomes concave. I’m sure there’s an explanation for it, I just don’t know what it might be.

There are also multiple instances of bubbles floating upwards- never down, never weightless, just moving from the bottom of the screen to the top.

if you were a bazillionaire dirtbag would you really trust your life flying in a rocket into orbit?
didnt think so.

This reminds me of the fake moon landings – Branson is a scam artist.

Not that you will likely accept the explanation but….

The spacecraft has very thick, curved windows. If you ever played with lenses, you know that thick curved lenses tend to create visual distortions, particularly when looked through at an angle.

I do, in fact accept that explanation and have made it numerous times when people have tried to prove curvature by looking through airplane windows. In every case that explanation was roundly rejected.

“In every case that explanation was roundly rejected.

The Earth can be shown to be curved (i.e. a sphere) by numerous means. Looking out of an airplane passenger window is probably one of the weakest arguments for various reasons (e.g. possible visual distortion as you point out, the difficulty of discerning the difference between a curved sphere and a flat disc over great distances, observer bias, lack of scientific equipment with which to take accurate readings, etc.).

I see what you did there.

Anyway, had you watched the full live broadcast you would have seen that 55 miles above the surface of the earth- allegedly- the horizon was not curved, it remained visibly flat to the viewer. Since people claim to see the curve at 40,000 feet, one would have assumed that it would have been quite curved at 7 times that height.

Must have been the windows.

I don’t disagree that the Earth can be shown to be curved- I have been shown that my entire life- however it cannot be seen. An intractable problem for those of us without access to extraterrestrial transportation.

Real knowledge is personal, not transferable.

I can see the curve standing at the beach on a clear day/evening, don’t need to go any higher.

But as a pilot at FL410 the horizon is flat to me 🤔, you can’t see the curve on the beach if I can’t see it at higher altitudes, I’m not a flat earther yet

Should a stoic be worried about whether the earth is flat or a sphere?

If evidence could be provided that the earth is flat .. would you still be a stoic?

The Earth can be seen to be curved if you go far enough into space but that isn’t something you nor I are likely to do. However, if you doubt the photographic evidence, there are other ways for you, down here on Earth to “see” that the Earth is a sphere.

You can see the curve of the Earth during a lunar eclipse. You can measure the changes in the angle of the sun based on time and distance (the ancient Greeks used that method). You can watch ships or other objects disappear behind the horizon (bottom disappearing before the top). You can watch the stars near the southern pole rotate clockwise and if near the north pole you will see them rotate counter-clockwise.

But none of that will convince you to change your mind any more than trying to convince a religious fanatic that Noah’s Ark couldn’t have held all the animals in the world or that the Earth couldn’t have been created in 7 days.

Why must they either be completely literal or completely abstract? What is the sense of that? Would thinking people even accept that low tier writing as divine wisdom? Yet there is evidence that past Christians were thinking people.

What he has proved is that if you throw enough money in one direction, you can safely get a few dozen miles above the earth’s surface, well within the confines of the Van Allen belts, and safely return to earth. Just wondering how many tax dollars were wasted, or if this was ALL his own/company’s money. I think we all already knew this could be done. Truly no NEW inventions regarding propulsion, etc. in all of this or Bezos’ fantasy flight.

OK, well he did not go into orbit so he did not really go into space. I hope he and his followers take a real shot at Mars.

Is it really a “spaceship” if it can’t safely transport humans past the Van Allen belt and back?

I don’t believe the earth is flat, and I don’t believe that humans have successfully gone to the moon. The two have no relation to each other.

OK, fair enough. Since you were talking about the Van Allen belt I had to wonder “what” that belt surrounded and why it is described as a “belt” and not simply a layer above a flat plane.

So why haven’t humans successfully gone to the moon?

Is the moon also flat? What keeps the moon “up there”? What technology would be required to reach the moon?

Did Branson enter space, well it just depends whose definition of space is used.

Branson went 53.5 miles above the earth surface.

International Law, or the Karman Line defines space beginning at 60 miles above the earth surface.

US Military & NASA define space beginning at 50 miles above the earth surface.

When you research current and past events long enough, you reach a point after many years where you assume everything to be a lie until proven otherwise. The shape of this realm is not first on most people’s list, because it is too big a topic, too outrageous the implications.
Having said that, I do not know for certain about flat/round/other, but have not found definitive proof for either yet. And there are too many experiments available to disprove curvature (laser or Nikon p1000 across the great lakes etc). So it appears that the official narrative is another lie in a string of many (dinosaurs anyone?)
In 2017 our family travelled to Wyoming to see the totality of the solar eclipse. It was spectacular and our daughter, 4 years old at the time, proclaimed “It looks like a portal!” Maybe she was right in some way? Who knows. The next one is in New England in 2024, maybe we should all meet up for that.
