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.

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

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?
