Curve of the Earth or just curve of the "spotlight" sun?
You have been ignored for common interest of mankind.

I am a terrible person and I am a typical Blowhard Liberal for being wrong about Bom.

$17,000 to look down at a circle.

I say we put together a fundraiser to send scepti up on one of these.

Have you seen how much those super astronaut space suits cost? can you afford all this?

I'm quite sure that once I go up in one, I won't be coming back to tell the tale of it. Except for being scraped up from somewhere after the balloon goes snap, crackle, pop. ;)

You would just back down and deny what you saw.

I'm not here to deny physical evidence. I'm here to find out the truth and to work out the truth.
If I seen something, physically, that I could not deny, that proves me wrong, I would smile and tell anyone who cared to listen.
All I want, is the truth. No more, no less.

How do you expect to come by truth if all you do is post on a message board and never do any actual research or experiments?

It seems quite obvious to me that you have no interest whatsoever in the truth.  If you did, then you would actually take a physics course and see for yourself what is bs science and what isn't.
Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.

19 miles is about 1/4 way to space and it is funny that they used a picture for the story showing a "planar" earth.

Let us know when it happens.

This is a case of "A Few Good Men".  The majority of society wouldn't be able to handle the truth.  Like I've said before, they would have a mental breakdown because their view of the world...their reality, would collapse.
But us FEs, would be fine because we have already faced reality.

That is if any of your assumptions are true, which they are obviously not.

I would want to see through the windows on that capsule first, before paying to go up in it...to make sure the windows aren't warped, altering the horizon.

You should probably get a psycology test before going to. Make sure your mind isn't warped.

Curve of the Earth or just curve of the "spotlight" sun?

For it to be a curve of the spotlight, it would mean that at that edge of the curve it should become nighttime, or daytime and beyond that edge you should see darkness.

In a similar way you should see this. http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/images/content/earthShadowPlane-E08D1710-Z.jpg

Now before you jump, that is exactly the edge of the spotlight, think again. That picture does not show a curvature AND
during your daylight ride in the balloon, you will still see a curvature without this dark edge.

The curvature you will see then is that of a spherical earth.
