When it stops look at the side video cameras and tell me what shape is the land the cameras reflect?
Looks flat like a pancake to me.
Listen to the sound as it almost gets to the end.
The rockets starts to change sounds like it is under water or something.
Strange alright.

If someone wants to track flight paths that's super easy.
https://www.flightradar24.com/6.9,-288.63/2

If you click on a plane it will give you a number.
They are coded. If you put in the code into google search you will find another air traffic control sight that will give you just that plane you singled out and you can watch the whole flight from start to finish.

I used this site to find out that commercial airliners are spraying chem trails as well.
I see a chemi being sprayed I run into the house and look at the web site and them track done the code and find out what plane it is.

To say you don't fly over Antarctica because no one will come and rescue a crashed plane is off the charts wacky.
If a plane goes down in the middle of the Pacific ocean and everyone survives do you really think you have a chance of being rescued?
Maybe if you crashed right beside a coast guard ship there is a chance. But my money is on everyone dies.

True, but with some routes there is no choice but to go over an ocean.

There is literally a research base at the south pole. You can visit it if you have the money (quite a lot, admittedly).

I mean, we have no idea on the viewing angle of that camera, nor indeed anything about it. If we presented the exact same thing to you guys, but it showed a curve, you would simply cry foul. At least show some standard of evidence to what you're posting.
You mean the sound of the rocket changes as the atmosphere gets thinner? Why does this surprise you? Why would you expect it NOT to? Less air is going to have odd effects on sound. That's just fact. Of course it's going to sound strange, we don't exactly walk around in near airless environments much.

The rocket pictured in that video was setting, or attempting to set, a height record for an amateur rocket. I believe it attained 73 miles. You can work out the distance to the horizon, compared with that distance at lesser heights, if you want. Or others can work it out for you.

Was it "high enough to see the curve"? I don't know. But there's plenty of other proof of it from 50+ years of orbital spaceflight....
=============================
Not Flat. Happy to prove this, if you ask me.
=============================

Nearly all flat earthers agree the earth is not a globe.

Nearly?

If you don't believe in chem trails then why does Harvard University have a course they teach all about Geoengineering?
 https://geoengineering.environment.harvard.edu/

 Track 1: Advancing Science and Technology

Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research Program will develop methods that might reduce the risks and improve the efficacy of solar geoengineering when compared to the injection of sulfates into the stratosphere, which has been the standard proposal since the 1970s. Specific examples include:

    Develop novel solid aerosols that might:
        reduce or even reverse ozone loss by neutralizing stratospheric chlorine,
        have optical properties that greatly reduce stratospheric heating compared to sulfate aerosol.
    Develop methods to accurately estimate the radiative forcing from solar geoengineering using existing observing systems and, where appropriate, perform conceptual development of new observing systems.
    Develop field experiments that could enable in situ tests of chemistry and aerosol dynamics.


So you mean to say airliners will spend thousands of extra dollars on fuel so they can fly a route not over water because rescuing them in the event of a crash would be easier?
And then they don't fly over Antarctica because its to hard to rescue a crashed plane?
Which one is it? Do they prefer flying over water or land?

They prefer the shortest route.
Which if you look at flight paths projected on to a map are curved.
Because we live on a globe.

Found these two sets of rules they are obliged to follow.
VFR and IFR. VFR stands for Visual Flight Rules and IFR means Instrument Flight Rules.
Depending on the weather conditions a pilot may opt for one set of rules or the other.
One can google them if they are interested .

I was admittedly being somewhat simplistic. There are other factors. But they generally go as directly as they can because it's all about efficiency.
