Horizon at eye level

2019-12-20 22:22:38 UTC  

Dont show me test rockets

2019-12-20 22:22:58 UTC  

Also how can you launch a rocket from a ball spinning at 1000+mph

@🎃Oakheart🎃 To make it short, consider your sight as a straight line (you've got no choice anyway, when you will look at the horizon, you will see it from... "A line of sight"), looking at a round surface.

Imagine, in your head (since I can't add a image right now), a globe (earth) seen from afar. Imagine a tower on the somewhere on the surface (no matter it's height) and you, on top of it.

Now draw a line between you and the horizon you will be looking at (two directions, either to the left or to the right of your tower). This straight line will be a tangent to the earth's surface, right?

If you look higher than this line, you will only see the sky.
If you look lower than this line, you will see the ground (which can't be properly called horizon).
Directly in front on your eyes, in your line of sight, will be the horizon, limit between the ground and the sky.

So... Wherever you are on the globe, no matter how high your tower is (or even without any tower, your personal height will virtually be the tower for your eyes), when you will be looking at the horizon, that fixed "line" (which is locally a line but actually a curve) will be directly in front of your eyes. Your line of sight.

@🎃Oakheart🎃 Conservation of momentum. No give me evidence of your ridiculoud claim

2019-12-20 22:23:35 UTC  

whats that supposed to prove

2019-12-20 22:23:42 UTC  

Those are boeings test rockets

2019-12-20 22:23:42 UTC  

Rockets

2019-12-20 22:23:44 UTC  

@🎃Oakheart🎃 look at my answer

2019-12-20 22:23:52 UTC  

yeah rockets are cool what about them

2019-12-20 22:23:55 UTC  

rockets leave the atmoshpere in a titled angle

2019-12-20 22:23:59 UTC  

they dont go straight up

2019-12-20 22:24:04 UTC  

🤡

2019-12-20 22:24:07 UTC  

I did, yet if the Earth was curved you wouldn't see it at eye level.

2019-12-20 22:24:10 UTC  

It'd get lower.

2019-12-20 22:24:14 UTC  

why would a rocket go straight up

2019-12-20 22:24:25 UTC  

oakheart

2019-12-20 22:24:25 UTC  

They are descending back down

2019-12-20 22:24:29 UTC  

@🎃Oakheart🎃 At a ridiculous high altitude, it would

2019-12-20 22:24:30 UTC  

because they are going nowhere

2019-12-20 22:24:32 UTC  

that's a waste of fuel and would put more aerodynamic stress on the rocket

2019-12-20 22:24:37 UTC  

NASA has billions

2019-12-20 22:24:40 UTC  

they don't give a shit

2019-12-20 22:24:41 UTC  

@🎃Oakheart🎃 Because the're test roickets from BOEING!!!

2019-12-20 22:24:42 UTC  

this is why horizon is always at eye level:

2019-12-20 22:24:43 UTC

there is ur answer

2019-12-20 22:24:46 UTC  

As long as they can keep the lie straight.

2019-12-20 22:25:03 UTC  

the rockets turn because it's much more effective at placing them into orbit

2019-12-20 22:25:06 UTC  

^

2019-12-20 22:25:08 UTC  

@Ferocious Chicken Citation please?

2019-12-20 22:25:09 UTC  

it's called a zero lift turn

2019-12-20 22:25:13 UTC  

if it goes straight up, its flying away from earth

2019-12-20 22:25:19 UTC  

@🎃Oakheart🎃 Citation for what?

2019-12-20 22:25:22 UTC  

That's the point, isn't it?

2019-12-20 22:25:25 UTC  

For them being boeing.

2019-12-20 22:25:26 UTC  

@🎃Oakheart🎃 why do you keep ignoring my answer?

2019-12-20 22:25:29 UTC  

They are all working together.

2019-12-20 22:25:38 UTC  

they all work together because life is a conspiracy

2019-12-20 22:25:42 UTC  

Everything is
