In this video, we state that our goal is to put a weather balloon up to high altitude, with a camera fitted with a NON-fish-eye lens. Our goal is to shoot a continuous, steady shot by using a gimbal. Our goal is to have three cameras: two shooting the horizon (one fish-eye, one not) and one facing up to see what happens when the blue turns to black. Will we see stars or not?
Most of that you already knew from the previous video. But why are we doing this? Because too many people have put their trust in footage shot with GoPro style cameras fitted with a fish-eye lens, which grossly distorts the image being shot. They selectively celebrate the frame of video that has the most convex curvature, while ignoring both the concave and totally flat frames. So, our goal is to see what our own eyes would see if we could go that high and not have to deal with lens distortions.
Although not specifically stated in this video, our goal is to definitely exceed the altitude Mythbusters got to (70,000 feet), when Adam Savage said the Earth had a definitive curvature to it. What if we could exceed 115,000 feet and show that there is no curve?
Beyond all of this however, our ultimate goal is simply to know the truth. Is the Bible correct from a literal perspective or must we take it as metaphorical and poetic when it comes to every single cosmological reference? Is the Earth really a sphere or have we put too much faith in GoPros and other cameras with wide-angle/fish-eye lenses?
This video is a candid discussion between Victor Brewer and I. In it we discuss curvature (of course), the Bible, Biosphere 2, the many issues of the so-called “blue marbles,” how perspective and refraction may play a role in hiding the lower portion of ships and buildings, motion parallax and more.

The only thing I wish rob wouldn't have done is point people to Michael Heisei because he gives this great flat earth speech and then denies its flat so that finished my husband for his research into the subject because he said, even the guys you send me to don't beleive it and he was done, its been 3 years since that and I'm still trying to convince my family!!!!
brain dead! look, you can get and prove Eratosthenes results true on a flat earth, but it blows the flat earth distances up! because, when you look at the sun and moon at winter or spring solstice . (half moon, before sunset) the angle is 89.85 degrees. you can measure this. this means that the earth and sun being 3000miles apart, means that the sun has to be 400times further than the moon. simple trig…………. Rob, this is what happens when you are a smart guy that doesnt have an education.
The goal is not to show the results if it shows curvature
Are a an illuminati shill
The earth is a circle in a square like Enoch said he said 4 corners
God bless you….i mean that is amazing…if the atmosphere really act as lensing as you showed us….then that is another fail of the globe model….good job!!!
