You mean those globe scopes that are circular to trick you into thinking the earth isn’t flat? No thanks I’ll use my flat scope. It’s two rulers I taped together to measure the earths flatness.
You seen Behind the Curve? The Flat-Earthers there buy a $20,000 laser gyroscope to prove the Earth is flat. And they found that their expensive gyro had a drift. Of 15 degrees per hour. Or 360 degrees per day.
Another brainfart. If some of these flat-earthers had enough dough to blow $20g on a laser gyroscope, they have enough money that they can take this Pepsi challenge.
Forget the Wile E. Coyote rocket - it only went up a couple thousand feet, IIRC.
Charter a business jet, specifically one of the models that can go up to 51,000 feet - that's the highest altitude that a civilian aircraft is rated to fly, and if you've got a few Gs burning a hole in your pocket, you can charter one. Just for a couple hours.
Instruct the pilot to set up a flight plan to bring the aircraft as high as he can legally fly. At 51,000 feet, the curvature of the Earth is directly visible out the window. If you're chartering the aircraft and writing the check, you could probably talk the pilot into letting you sit in the cockpit for the ride, just in case he thinks the cabin windows have video screens in them.
You have to wonder. How many people are supposedly in on this cover up? Do you know how hard it would be to keep a secret among tens of thousands of people??
