Take a straight edge, freeze the video and you see that the horzon is straight. Boom.
If you take the time to research flat earth, you will believe. Thanks for bumping this thread. It will never die, it will keep growing instead.
Um rekrunner, do more running and less posting here. You proclaimed to be training hard to win the FL national XC championship in a couple years. Get to work kid.
Here's what you people are doing by replying to this thread:
1. Flat Earth Troll trolls for people that will argue with him, thinking he is serious about the Earth being flat (he is good, and a lot of you are stupid, so you WILL go to great lengths to "prove" Earth is round to him).
2. Flat Earth Troll delights in their efforts and discounts it with on-the-ready cut-and paste text, videos, diagrams, etc. refuting their claim. This troll works particularly well because there is lots of ready-made material like this to aid in the troll.
3. This enrages/frustrates easily-trolled people (which is the goal of trolling). They argue with Flat Earth Troll. He insists he is "not a troll, you people are sheep who believe what the government tells you, and here's some proof Earth is flat." Easily-trolled people scour the internet for counter-proof that the Earth is round (which Flat Earth Troll knows, but that is beside the point). This is exactly what Flat Earth Troll wants you to do. He knows the Earth is round. You are being stupid.(repeat step 2).
4. Although some understand it as a troll, many do not and can't resist, as he seems to be good at the troll, coupled with the fact that many people are apparently stupid and don't see it as what it is: a never ending, never resolved argument that is the very essence of a troll.
5. Thread disappears for a few months. Flat Earth Troll resurrects it, often by pretending to be someone who wants to argue with Flat Earth Troll. (repeat step 1).
Addendum: Although I have pointed out what this thread is all about in plain English, Flat Earth Troll will still, incredibly, be able to bury the post and continue making stupid people engage in the never-ending argument (see above posts).
More comedy from NASA. Harness wires in the fake space station.

I will not try to prove flat-earther arguments wrong as they are so downright stupid that I just can't believe that anyone sane person would even try to argue with them. I will just add some information from aviation perspective to clarify some serious flaws.
First, all air routes always lead as much as possible over land areas and little above large water areas. You can see this in all flights from say NY to London as they take a path near continental land lines. This is a security measure as it is almost impossible to land or find an aicraft in sea/ocean. Flying straight over poles is as stupid idea as can possibly be as in case of emergency there would be no place to land aircraft, no way to even refuel it if needed, there would not be possibleany ground assistance in radius of thousands of miles. Only specific flights take such direct routes.
Second, Earth's rotation do not play any role in flight time. Earth rotates together with its atmosphere and if you are up in the air you move exactly the same as being on Earths surface with just much less air resistance. Its Newton's first law of mechanics. However what really plays significant role in flight time are the upper atmosphere air streams that move with speeds as fast as 330 ft / 100 meters per second. Such streams can easily shorten or extend flight time by an hour or more during transcontinental flight. There have been flights from NY to say Amsterdam that had to descend for extra fuel in GB because of stronger headwind air streams.
For these groups, flat earth might have been religion and mythology, or even poetry, but never a serious science based on real observation. Among scholars, astronomers, and scientists, both heliocentricity and the globe earth date back to ancient Greece more than 2000 years ago. Islamic astronomers made some remarkably accurate calculations 1000 years ago based on experiments and observations you can do today. The tripe is saying it is only 500 years old.

I need you to answer my question first. Did you go in head first or feet first?

Well let's imagine that NASA provided some heat resistant suits that would allow for this, now answer the question.
Your question also shows a lack of understanding of the globe model you rejected. If I drill a hole straight down through a flat earth, what should I expect to see when I pierce through the bottom? With no gravity, will I fall down into endless space because of the law of density? Will all the water drain out too?

Shows a lack of understanding, do you think that flat Earth involves a 2D model. Look into it you won't regret it.
Note we shouldn't expect to see much left to right curvature, as the drop is a function of the distance from the viewer, and the horizon is always the same distance, hence the same drop, from the viewer. The amount we see is due to the higher vantage point, but even 140,000ft is not very high compared to the size of the earth. Let me do some of the mathematics for a balloon at 140,000 ft. From the mathematics, we can see that even on a globe model, we would expect a fair amount of "horizon rising to eye level", and on a flat earth model, above a disc with a 20,000 km radius, that the edge of the earth also does not quite "rise to eye level", but slightly below. The fractional extent to which the horizon rises to eye level can be predicted in both models with simple trigonometry. While a straight edge measure seems compelling, other clues we can get from a high altitude balloon video: 1) How big is the visible area below that we can see? On a flat earth, we should be able to see much more, than on a globe earth, which is always clipped by the horizon. 2) What is the viewing angle of the horizon, with respect to the horizontal plane? Is it at eye-level, or slightly below, and by how much? Here's what we should expect from the two models: At 140,000 ft, the globe earth predicts our visibility is clipped on the horizon, 739 km away, and that the horizon is, not at eye level, but only 6.6 degs downward from the viewer's eyes. On a flat earth, much more of the earth should be visible. The "globe earth vanishing point" 739 km away from the viewer appears 3.3 degs downward. But nothing about the flat earth model that suggests our visibility should be clipped there. Identifying landmarks, say 1000 km away, at an angle of 2.4 degs, from a height of 140,000 ft, would support a flat model. Limited visibility, at around 739km, at an angle of 6.6 digs, supports a globe model. At 140,000 ft above the north pole, assuming full visibility of 20,000 km (the distance from the north pole to the south pole), we should be able to see the edge at a viewing angle of 0.122 degs, no matter which way the viewer looks around 360 degrees.

This question has been asked twice now without a response. What happens if I drill through the flat earth in the deepest ocean trench? Do the oceans drain into space? How thick is the flat earth?

If you think that these cultures did not engage in science based on observations and experiments then you are one delusional tripe monger.

Not sure why don't you try and get back to us. We know as much about this as geologists know about what is 12km below the Earths crust.
