Yeah I figured, btw nice to meet you, I'm Quantum, ATS's resident Certified Cowboy Astronaut Billionaire.
Since I've been to space I can tell you Earth is a sphere.
Now who are you gonna believe, a Certified Cowboy Astronaut Billionaire, or some lowly ground dwelling "certified engineer"?

But... My friend, the second Video is even better. I admit the first one is repetitive but, True!
Are you an X Gen guy? If yes you must know slow is better.
I wish you could hear my laughter.

The most qualified to answer this "question" would be an astronaut. They are the only witnesses to this. Go ahead and ask them if the Earth is flat.
I bet after circumnavigating the Earth every 45(ish) minutes would convince anyone the reality the Earth is a sphere.

Interesting, you bet. It's more interesting than listening to a group of Libs acting like retards.
If you can get through 10 minutes of these Vids even I will be surprised, This of course is aimed at those who scoff easily at sh't they or their hero's don't approve of.
Just Saying so don't get bent over it.
And just for the record, this guy is a Certified Engineer. What he has to say is pertinent to this conversation.
The second Video, amazing info even the most die heard circular fan would agree with. Unless those who disagree have been mentally distracted from reality, that is.
Enjoy!

This is idiotic, he doesn't take into account that the air that the plane is riding on has a relative velocity the same(plus or minus any windspeed differential) as the earth. So relative to the earth, the plane IS at a zero velocity when it makes the turn. The air that the plane is riding on is carrying the plane at a relative velocity equal to that of earth. I see that he eventually does address that, but his argument is again idiotic. The atmosphere ABSOLUTELY is contained within the earth, it is held down by gravity. The only accounting that has to take place is wind speed relative to earth.
If he was correct, then the windspeed would be 900 mph... again, this is idiotic.
