I saw this on the news tonight. Maybe we can get Tom Bishop to do an experiment or two for once.http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-balloon-home-photos-space,0,5393976.storyWEST YORKSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN -- Putting NASA and its billion dollar budgets to shame, a British space enthusiast took amazing photos and video from space with just a few hundred dollars, a home camera and a balloon.Robert Harrison spent a mere $747 dollars to take his photos and video from 22 miles above Earth's surface.The results are stunning.
At the edge of the atmosphere the observer is looking down at the distant edges of the sun's circular area of light upon the earth.Any such images look as if the observer is looking down at a large mug of cuppachino than a globe earth.

He already knows what it is.http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=37445.msg931877#msg931877Quote from: Tom Bishop on March 25, 2010, 02:05:00 PMAt the edge of the atmosphere the observer is looking down at the distant edges of the sun's circular area of light upon the earth.Any such images look as if the observer is looking down at a large mug of cuppachino than a globe earth.

Anyone else spot the error?
I don't remember anything. Well, I do, but it's really vague. Like I was on drugs the whole time.

Anyone else spot the error?Uh, no. The story was re-written for KTLA in Los Angeles, and it is common to do the currency conversion as part of the article. However, its nice to see that that was your most substantive rebuttal.
Here's a challenge then. Find the weather for the appropriate day. Work out the likelyhood of a balloon ascending to 22 miles, a parachute falling from 22 miles. the total distance travelled only being 50 miles.

Work out the likelyhood of a balloon ascending to 22 miles, a parachute falling from 22 miles. the total distance travelled only being 50 miles.It also depends on the rate of ascent, and at what altitude the parachute deploys at. So no, drift does not rule it out.
What was the weather on that day?
