This appears to collide with something and suddenly stop it's ascent. Earth is curved until you realize "earth" in this video is just like Nevada or something.

That's an excellent video, although at this point I'm convinced it's not hitting a dome but deploying an anti spin device. Think someone here showed me that. I just wish they didn't use a fisheye lens.

How about a U2 spyplane flight. At 70k feet all you really see is local area ground and if you look at the "curvature" you see how skewed the whole thing is. It would be a tiny ball at that rate of curve.

Another video that purports to show the curve but it's obvious he's over localized territory. It's all fisheye lens. You never see so much as an entire continent, just footage that looks like I filmed it through the tube from a spent roll of asswipe.
 




Also some great round earth video from today’s Europa Clipper launch. Multiple angles that should rule out fish eye lenses too

Link it! Does it helpfully have altitude like the falcon?

Launch is about an hour in. Separation at 1 hour 7 mins which has the good camera angles. One of which shows the curve on the left half of the screen which would be opposite of what a fish eye would exaggerate

The video doesn't have the altitude or show the whole launch. I don't know what you mean about thw left side of the screen not distorting with a fisheye lens.

Of course it shows the whole launch. It shows from the ground all the way until the 2nd separation.

And as far as angles, this first angle could be attributed to the lens if you wanted to be difficult

But I’d the earth was flat, this photo should look concave through a fisheye, no?
