Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Im trying to build a rocket to prove the earth is flat
« on: August 15, 2019, 08:42:58 AM »The goal is to attach a small camera to the outside of a solid state fuel rocket 3 miles into the air that will allow me to see that the earth is indeed flat.

Please help.
3 Miles would be just north of 15,000 feet. Why not just take a commercial flight and look out your window, you'd be at 34k-38k feet. No rocket required.
But you still need a view of like 60 degrees to see that your assumption of a flat earth is incorrect.
And then there's that too. You're not going to see a curve at 35k feet, maybe a smidge north of 75k, a smidge more at 100k. Why this person went to all the trouble set up a gofundme for 15k is baffling.
Let's buy him a ladder, then he can have a look from 3 meters up!
