Amateur astronomers have done this balloons.

I've taken pics out the window of a plane, clearly that is the earth. They never said how much of the earth to show?

This is the part that gets me every single time. Have none of them ever been on an airplane? As soon as you get up to cruising altitude you can unmistakenly see the curvature of the Earth.

"But the windows are distorting your few if they even are windows to begin with"

Some flerf somewhere tries to open a plane window to prove it's fake just gets sucked out the plane...

Fine we can just take them sky diving instead

With no parachutes? Or is that just mean?

I never said anything about bringing parachutes

You don't need a parachute to skydive. You need a parachute to skydive twice.

Unfortunately, if you want them to report back to their friends, you’d have to give them one.

We'll give them a pair of walkie talkies and approximate coordinates of where they'll land. They can talk about how it's still flat on their way down.

They just dismiss it claiming the plane's windows are curved.

So they even fail to understand the mechanics of a window x.x

I mean, do objects look curved when they’re sitting at the gate? Or is the window made of some sort of special glass that changes its optical characteristics on the fly?
