Did you personally go into outer space and see for yourself or are you simply listening to hearsay?
I could show you images of unicorns and santa claus.....would you believe in them?

So I walk about 10 miles a day and really enjoy the sunrises and sunsets on the mountains, anyways as I walk along I see this:
Pics from 3 days over the last few months at sunrise.
Only edit was to compress to fit on ATS.
THE ONLY WAY THE SUN CAN SHINE ON THE BOTTOM OF CLOUDS IS IF ITS BELOW THEM!
THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE BELOW THEM IS IF THE EARTH IS ROUND!!
It does not reflect off the ground like this or the clouds would be lit up all day long!!!
Here is a diagram:

I want to see a live film of the entire planet from space.
And no, i don't have billions of dollars of technology at my disposal.
Adding to neutronflux's practical evidence (i.e., no need to see it from space), here is another example:
If the Earth were flat, then how do people in Perth, Australia see the same stars when they look directly south (such as the constellation Southern Cross, AKA Crux) at the same time as the people in Johannesburg, South Africa do when they look directly south.
According to the prevailing flat earth map, this would be impossible; "due south" for Perth is in a very different direction as "due south" for Johannesburg, as in the illustration below:
(By the way, this problem would be just as true if the stars weren't really many lightyears away, but rather on a dome, or the firmament, close to Earth as some flat Earth models say)
However, if Earth is a spheroid, this works very well. People looking south in Perth and Johannesburg at the same time to view the stars in the sky would both be looking the same direction. That is, they would be looking at the same groups of stars when they both look south at the same time:

I think you are pretty good at denying reality!

No, that's what flat earthers do, all the time. You point out that their entire model is laughably silly and can be disproved with a few observations and the next thing you know they are babbling nonsense about holograms, etc at you, resulting in giggling.

And some how the 50 year old space agency NASA time travels and perpetuates the big lie all through history…

I was a deck officer and a CIC watch officer. I have made several transits of the Atlantic. My ship was a larger vessel and was stable at sea. It was equipped with an AN/SPS-10 surface search radar. The dish was on a mast about 150 feet above the water. In each transit, the ship passed the Azores, a series of islands in the Atlantic. These islands have various elevations. One has a mountain of about 7500 feet of elevation. Others are significantly lower in elevation.
The radar picked up that 7500 foot peak at about 120 miles but did not see a closer island with a lower elevation until the ship was closer to it. If the earth were flat, the radar would have seen the lower island first. This happens with land masses in the ocean wherever we go. Heights are seen first and then more and more of the land mass is revealed as it is approached. This happens no matter what direction we sail in, so the earth is curved away from us in all directions.
Conclusion: The earth is not flat and the only geometric shape that is consistent with observation is a sphere.
