It is not far enough away, clearly. Sorry, but it will take more than some guy’s claims on youtube to convince me that what we’ve known for at least 2,500 years is wrong. Everything we can observe is easily explained by a round earth. No so with a flat earth. Occam’s razor. How do you explain why the sun is always about half a degree in angular diameter, if as the flat earthers say it is constantly moving towards and away from us again, from only a few thousand miles? How can it be night in Europe while daytime in the U.S.?

Hey Sontagged...here's a video where they actually perform an experiment to SEE the curve and figure out the drop over distance using telescopes and a helicopter. Warning: You may be triggered by it:

Just one of a zillion curve tests. Anyone can do this.

Remember NASA is a liberal, Islam loving, UN loving, Climate Change-loving organization.

CURVE TEST AT 6.95 MILES (Curve Math Chart Says Drop-Off Point is 32 Feet)

(Should Not Be Able to See Objects that are less than 32 Feet In Height)

At a little less than 7 miles away, we should not be able to see buildings that are less than 32 feet in height.

However... it's not provable.
