Fly a UAV with camera to the edge!

Why don't we settle the debate once and for all? Flat-earthers and Sphericle-earthers fund a UAV trip to the edge of the earth? Surely, if there is an edge, we can reach it, right!?

Organize the crowd funding and I would be happy to take you up on your challenge once we can afford a UAV.  Thanks. 

UAVs won't fly that high.

What's wrong with a weather balloon?

Sounds like a plan... I will do that experiment  for 500 000 000 dolars for you (photodocument the fly from Tasmania to Falkland Islands over south pole, with hope we will be able to see "South Pole Telescope", but cannot guarantee  it ).

If you wana to see just the edge, and are not interested about anything else, it will be cheaper, something about 500 000 dolars will be enought (way cheaper then NASA) ...
For that amount of money I will deliver this:
- 10 photos of my plane shot down by goverment agencies that tried to deny my experiment
- 30 photos of white snow (aka Antarctica)
- 5 photos of "the edge" ---- dont bother with result, just select one of these:
                                                     - 5 precolision photos - "sky from 5cm distance" like photos
                                                     - 5 photos that prove "you cannot photograph edge, its too cold" ... camera completly frozen/ camera shows just black (shot on polar day!!!!)
                                                     - 5 painting of drone trajectory ended with a black point where the drone disappeared  (select map of your desire).

Cheapest variant is If just drawings in "stick man" quality will be enough ....  I will do that for 50 000 dolars


I mean it real... if you give me those money I will deliver what promised ... if is it too much, then find someone else

Antarctica is well explored and freely accessible ... while certain treaties are in affect they are concerned with preservation and everybody can get a permit from their respective government (no need to ask the US or NASA) without problem (tourists generally don't need an individual permit as the permit is handled by the tour operator). Most of the permits (countries like US and UK have online application forms for them) are dealing with environmental impact and making sure you are equipped for the extreme environment. Tours are not cheap but not worse then big cruises.

Nowadays there is even a 1000 mile long ice-road to the permanent Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station from the McMurdo coastal Station (see picture) which makes things cheaper and easier. 2013 the first person riding a bicycle reached the south pole (and it was a woman).



Military activity, by the way, is banned since the Antarctic treaty of 1961.

I hope you do know that making fun of such basic facts makes you look stupid to everybody with the possible exception of a few equally delusional FE fans?

Still nobody here that wants to show me the location of the ice wall on that map?

Soulblood I'm not convinced the earth is flat or round. A drawing is not enough to convince anyone. There's a lot of questions that needs answered such as why hasn't anyone traveled around the earth heading north or heading south? Why does the Sun seem to reflect off the sky? Why does a plane travel over the water yet the water never gets lower beneath the plane? How come there isn't any footage of a rocket traveling from earth all the way to the ISS? If the earth is spinning from west to east at 1000mph, how come planes can travel west to a destination and not get there any quicker than traveling the same distance east?

Pretty sure OP means to travel to the outer edge? It would need a range of a thousand miles maybe. Temperature of 200-300 below zero, pretty rough. Balloons that go to high just end up popping. There are likely photos and information of both, but not for public consumption. Sounds like a neat project.

... why hasn't anyone travelled around the earth heading north or heading south?

People have, google it, don't just regurgitate stuff from a youtube video or biased forum ...

Why does the Sun seem to reflect off the sky?

The sun doesn't, what makes you believe that?

Why does a plane travel over the water yet the water never gets lower beneath the plane?

Gravity pulls everything towards the centre of the spherical earth, height is relative to that spot, not some imaginary flat place ...

How come there isn't any footage of a rocket travelling from earth all the way to the ISS?

There is tons of footage from launch to docking, do you mean one uninterrupted shot? Possibly, haven't looked yet, i imagine that would be difficult ...

If the earth is spinning from west to east at 1000mph, how come planes can travel west to a destination and not get there any quicker than travelling the same distance east?

The atmosphere is travelling with the rotating earth and the plane travels relative to the surrounding air ... as we all move with the rotation, we don't notice it, we only notice the movement on top of that. Something not on earth, a satellite for example, would notice the plane move quicker in one direction then the other.
