They made it through their own efforts and that was absolutely amazing !

It isn't taught because he wasn't trying to break any records or was he trying to seek fame. He was studying Earth's upper atmoSPHERE and cosmic rays, NONE of the Piccards ever believed in a flat earth. Bertrands grandfather said "the earth 'SEEMED' flat with upturned edges" but never EVER said that it IS flat. Also, look at the tiny windows that Auguste was looking out of. They were tiny and offered a very small field of view. He was also in a pressurized gondola so the windows were also thick. goo.gl/images/C4fEpE Also, if Bertrand thought the earth was flat then why was he using FAX and satellite phones? The earth is not flat, get over it.

While possibly not flat it’s certainly not a round blue marble as NASA would have us believe.

@@natesmith777 So everyone is in on it? JAXA, ESA, Roskosmos, ISRO, CNSA? All of them? what benefit would China and russia have to keep NASA's lies? wouldnt it be better for them to PROVE the opposite to sow distrust with nasa? .... but they arent, you know why? because even those guys think you guys are idiots.... ......... dude, for +/- 300$ you can send your phone there, only takes about 1,50minutes then about 50 sec for your phone to drop down to the earth.... Take any long range international flight.... One of the agencies 24h streaming service? (oh wait no thats CGI right?) There are plenty of ways to see for yourself.... also basic logic would dictate, you can see Planets in our solar system with a simple telescope... (doesnt have to be digital) they are a sphere, you can see that with your own eyes, now if you look at ALL of them they are ALL a sphere..... if you take a bigger telescope, you will find EVERYTHNG is a sphere.... why would we be flat?

​@@natesmith777True it unnoticably flattend at the poles as the centrifugal force pulls the sphere appard. What am i saying earth is of course a donut as we all know

Yes Haha Nasa is faking it....

"Supposedly"?

Me too

Cool

Spacecraft and aircraft are two different species. But, congratulations on your Breitling Navitimer. It is an amazing time piece. A glorious tool of navigation and science and engineering.

Hi, I'm a gaming fat kid and I haven't left my room in over a month.

AHAHAHA It is easy I assure you! I pretty much live in a space as wide as a desk and as deep as the chair. hehehe and yes I am a gamer too!

Courageous and amazingly successful undertaking, and I enjoyed this free documentary (thank you!), but the lack of concern for the environment, even if deserted, below the balloon when discarding tanks is troubling.

When did it fly upside down?

I suppose that's true though they are different kinds of records. Bob Timm's Cessna wouldn't have lasted very long without refuelling. His was the refueled, manned flight endurance record and apart from solar energy (which I think does count as refuelling of a sort) this record was unrefueled.

65 days without landing!? I bet his diaper was overflowing when he landed!

Must be pre ISS right?

No he didn't. He said that he could see the curve but didn't have a ruler at hand to measure it

+MrHackerGevent Hey man how are you? thank you for not trolling me. finally able to talk to someone without them resorting to name calling and bs like that because they disagree with my opinion. thank you for that. yes you are right that the formula on the curvature has to be completely wrong in order to notice the curvature. the one thing that don't make any sense is with the naked eye you can only see so far. but if you zoom in you can see thing that are not to be able to see if the curvature is what they say. then you have the Navy with there optical systems that use inferred and can see ships on the ocean's surface 300-500 miles away. This would be completely impossible on a curved earth. water always finds a way to level out so you are taught at a very young age to ignore your senses when it comes to globe earth. many cultures knew the earth was motionless for thousands of years and you are taught in school ancient people are uneducated. that there were cavemen and stupid. this cannot be true. look at the pyramids and all the ancient structures that we cannot build to this day. Alot of experts believe there was a great catcolismic event that happened to the earth that wiped a lot of those cultures off the earth and technology and knowledge has been lost. I just don't believe people were dumb. they had great knowledge of technology and astrology. I'll quit talking your ear off b4 this gets too long.

@@SuicideKing777 earth is a sphere.

Antarctic Ring it was called I remember as a child...

Just like yo mama

yeah I got one on my page attacking me now. he went right out his way to tell me I'm brainwashed and a idiot for thinking the world is flat. go look it's a video of my dog swinging on a tree funny enough in a circle motion caused by gravitational pull.

+djcranium1210 I'm confused are you for the flat earth theory?

+Jonathan Torrey (jdt9880) no I hate them lol . just so stupid it's unreal I posted this video as a argument and there response was the orbiter flew in circles and I'm not joking.

+djcranium1210 is round not flat sorry

+djcranium1210 is round not flat sorry

I mean technically space craft are orbiting (I.e. constantly falling), not really the same as flying.

@@ZenZooZoo never heard of voyager 1 and 2

If you would float a balloon in a hangar (with no wind/airflow) do you think it will move across the hangar on it's own in a couple of hours because of the rotation of the earth? Because that is basically what you are saying should happen, only on a way larger scale. Maybe we can visualize it like this: Take a glass or bowl fill it with water then try to rotate the glass around the water without moving the water. Do you think you can do it? I'll tell you right now, you can't, since the glass has friction with the water. And the same goes for air, you might not see it but it can create friction (why do you think you can run faster on a treadmill than you can with normal running?) As a result of friction the air moves as the earth does and if there was no such thing as wind you would basically stay in the same spot. So finally we can say, you need time, some form of control and the right winds to float across the world, you can't just go up and wait, also what would be the challenge in that, if that were the case the french (montgolfier) would've probably done it somewhere after 1783 with their first balloons. I don't think it would've taken them over 200 years to achieve.

Because the air moves with the earth, and is part of it, not separate from it. Otherwise we would have 1000 mile per hour winds at all times.

so this is the flat earth argument that ''we cant possibly be on a spinning globe as we would fly off'' only we have atmosphere that we are in which flat earthers continually fail to grasp!

I have read some of these comments... What I don't understand here is what school these people here have gone to. Where have they taught that air is connected to the ground? Are you serious? How blind can a person be? The air is completely separate. End of story... If a balloon ( or any object) goes into the air, it is completely at the mercy of wind. The air will move anything it touches. A piece of paper can blow down the street on a windy day. So someone please tell me how the paper is connected to the movement of the ground. Any sober person knows it is the wind (or movement of the air, not ground). So clearly a balloon is traveling with the winds and currents. Science is about observation, not biased conclusions to support agendas.

Lol the claims below ....the Earth does not move therefor.........

Fuck jesus

Easy, it isn't flat

visit the site of Jeranism on youtube, watch some video's and then make up your mind ;)

the price of uneducation

+djcranium1210 next time you should better listen 50:49

+Platin OMG he said flat OMG MORON!!

Popular Science magazine august 1931 Page 23. Auguste Picard says the earth was flat with a rising outer edge. (guessing he meant the ice walls ~Antarctica as others call it! :) you can google the magazine in google books. pretty good read all the other articles are interesting too!

djcranium1210 Well Duh!! how else would you describe looking around as far as the eye can see, and no mountains, hills, valleys, I bet it would look flat to you, Moron.

shawn douglass sorry you're comment has gone over my head. I'm not a dumb flat earther ffs the whole proof of this is flying non stop AROUND THE EARTH and not being turned back at a ice wall or going over the edge.

atleast the legacy carries on in the family

post that formula you were using, and values you've put into the formula and we can talk

@@Pedynkuziego Just Google "calculate curvature of the earth".

@@libertypastor1307 I wanted to point you things you've missed in your calculation, but I'm not insisting if you're not really interested

@@Pedynkuziego Did you look up the calculator?

@@libertypastor1307 it is really not enough to calculate the curvature of the earth. The footage you referred to is not what naked eye would see because cameras have zoom, and you can zoom in into the curve so much that it looks like a straight line. So was it shoot at 100m distance to the balloon, or maybe 1000m? Until you know that and input it into custom formula, you will not prove anything.

Lmao the azimuthal equidistant projection is useful for orthodromic navigation and for determining ideal antennae directions in point-to-point communication. It also predates your bogus theories. Bonus: If the earth was actually flat, that map wouldn’t even be useful. You tell us to “wake up” but you can’t even open your eyes.
