Definitely worth a watch. Makes you think, if you have an open mind.

No. That was 4.29 minutes of pure mind numbing stupidity. Do you really think the Earth is flat?

That is an actual unretouched screenshot taken from a GoPro attached to a stick below a high altitude balloon launched by a girl for her 7th grade science project.

Wow! Thank you for the link, incredible. She has some real advanced gear, and will go far in life as a scientist! I couldn't do that.

I must be deficient in orbital mechanics. The Tesla was launched on an Eastern trajectory but the video has it orbiting to the West. What am I missing?

🤔. You must have forgotten to include the anthropogenic warming factor. Or hold it up to a light a look from the back. 🍿🍻😹🇺🇸🚀

It was orbiting from west to east and you’re blind?

[mad_as_he$$]

Then it was doing it in reverse.

Doing what in reverse? It’s moving from west to east throughout the starman webcast, and it matches simulations of its trajectory just fine.
