Blue Origin Landing Vent Cam Footage

Man, this will be my new reference video for all the flat Earthers out there. Like to see them explain this one away with lenses and CGI and parlor tricks.


LMAO I was thinking the exact same thing. The movies had me fooled lol.

No pilots means no high paid celebrity monologuing. :)
 
JOURNALIST: Next morning, a crowd gathered on the Common,
hypnotized by the unscrewing of the cylinder. Two feet of shining screw projected
when, suddenly, the lid fell off!

Two luminous disc-like eyes appeared above the rim. A huge, rounded bulk, larger than
a bear, rose up slowly, glistening like wet leather. Its lipless mouth quivered and slavered
- and snake-like tentacles writhed as the clumsy body heaved and pulsated.

A few young men crept closer to the pit. A tall funnel rose, then an invisible ray of heat
leapt from man to man and there was a bright glare, as each was instantly turned to fire.
Every tree and bush became a mass of flames at the touch of this savage, unearthly
Heat Ray.

People clawed their way off the Common, and I ran too. I felt I was being toyed with,
that when I was on the very verge of safety, this mysterious death would leap after me
and strike me down. At last I reached Maybury Hill and in the dim coolness of my home
I wrote an account for my newspaper before I sank into a restless, haunted sleep.

This was the second cylinder.




If you know what this is from, I am fucking impressed :)

Hint: It is from what is possibly one of the finest recordings EVER made, but little known.

I just started reading the War of the Worlds again. Great book. The live radio reading must have been terrifying at the time to hear since parody/fake news wasn't really a thing.
 
why is just now being released? butt burn from all of the press spacex is getting?

I use the free version of Spotify, and they have a Science Fiction section with War of the Worlds (51 chapters), The Foundation Trilogy, amongst other good stuff. Excellent listening.

What is a flat earther needing to "explain away" with this video? Makes me think you do not understand what you are watching.

You have me thoroughly confused. Are you asking me to defend a spherical planet? Or are you being sarcastic? Or are you not aware of the level of rationalization a flat Earther will go to?
 
Yes you sound confused. This is your new reference video for flat earthers out there, as you claimed. So what are your points? Or to keep it simple, what is your main point that this video proves that would contradict what a flat earther believes?

The Earth is only round because of the lens
That there are no continuous shots of space to surface
That it is CGI
No humans on board because humans have never been in space
Just the normal stuff they come up with.

But I also think we have been to the Moon, so take that as you will.

Your being very evasive. Maybe because you can't answer the question. What does THIS video show that would contradict a flat earther's beliefs?
Come on, it's your new reference video for all the flat earther's out there. What points are you telling them to look at while they are watching it?
 
I have to say that looked like science fiction come to life. I wonder what the altitude was at the beginning.

Do you believe the Earth is flat? You're pretty passionate about wanting the details. :) Almost like you want to be convinced. It's ok to convert to us spherical Earth folks (oblong, really).

That was a cool video. Way faster than I thought it'd be.

Ah, another person who can't seem to answer a simple question. No one is wanting to convert anybody to anything. Do you have any single point to add of why THIS video proves a flat earther wrong? Westrock2000 apparently could use all the help he can get for his new "flat earther reference video" point by point breakdown.
So how smart are you. What's your best point?

No. Why would I? I never claimed I did. :p But, like he said - there are so many points out there already (pretty solid evidence) that is shot down - moon landing is fake, satellites are using different lenses, CGI, etc.. I didn't think people were so deep and gung ho about flat earth vs. spherical... You're not into Scientology, too, are you?

Apparently flat earthers have never climbed a mountain. I have. You can clearly see the curvature of the earth with your own eyes.

There's even a racetrack where you can't see the other end due to the curve of the earth:
Ehra-Lessien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't get the controversy. People are strange.

Pfft. That's because of the atmosphere reflection of gasses.

I think this is up there with the faked moon landing. WTF?! I didn't think people were really serious about that shit, but people really are. Sadly, I'm sure we have some in Congress....

Wow Ad hominem at its best. A classic tactic of desperation.
westrock2000 stated that this is his reference video to discredit flatearthers. He couldn't answer a single point. And you the same, hence to misdirection desparation. Don't change the topic, just give me one single example from the video.
Thank you.

Fine. The Earth is clearly shown as having a round shape in the beginning of the video, getting less round as you get to lower altitudes. Viewing distance...
 
I have to say that looked like science fiction come to life. I wonder what the altitude was at the beginning.
They've all been suborbital flights, not delivering a payload anywhere AFAIK, so very different from what SpaceX is doing. They're getting to a bit over 100km though.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot I need cube shaped eyes to see the truth! ;)
