So a Billionaire has gone up in Musk's X rocket for the first unofficial space walk and the highest anyone has gone since the 1970s
While we can moan about the utter waste of money we can at least marvel at the video showing a round earth.
Does this finally put the flat earthers to bed?
They can no longer moan that NASA have fixed every photo ever.
Is is this all CGI as well?

Do we need a pole?
Also have they seen Ulloa's ball?

Key moments from first non-professional spacewalk

Isaacman said the Earth looked like a "perfect world" as he stepped out into space for the first time.

Love his quote, considering how bad private space tourism is for the environment/climate.


"Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here Earth sure looks like a perfect world,"

Obviously shot inside a studio at Musk's Austin Space Twitter complex. A secret building within the Tesla facility just off Hwy 130 Toll.

The earth is flat. Obviously it looks round in that video because it was shot with a round lens.

The exact shape isn't known, because no one's being able to get to the edge to map it correctly. It's pretty thick, but not as thick as its advocates.

well i know for a fact that it’s at least 3 metres deep as that’s how far local planning made us go for our footings.

Did it start sounding a bit hollow when you got to the bottom of the hole?

funnily enough it did a bit, and i swear i could hear someone tapping on the other side. Assuming that the earth therefore must be almost slab like I stopped digging any deeper as I was worried that if i did go deeper then all the gravity would shoot out and all humanity float off into space.
