RE: First Man To Reach The Stratosphere Said Earth Looked Flat
He probably told his constituents want they wanted to hear, or what he wanted them to believe in; that the Earth was a concave sort of disk.
Nowadays anybody looking across the horizon in an airplane at 35,000 feet, witnesses for themselves that the horizon has a concave shape, therefore suggesting a spherical planet...IF that is want you want to see.
False, you don't see a curve on a plane - it doesn't even make sense mathematically to see a curve on a plane. And that is fact. Next time you're on an airplane, take a picture and post it here on Steemit. In fact, you don't even see a curve from a high altitude weather balloon 20 miles up in the sky. Do the research ;) peace!
