Figuring out that the earth is round is not rocket science. Eratosthenes

What that fool really needs to do is fly around to the underside and take photos of the giant turtle which carries the Earth on its back.

Way to recycle rocket man! Yeah, there's a good chance he's going to recycle himself. Grammar lesson for the day? Commas matter.

Capitalization matters too. I had a millennial employee who refused to capitalize anything in his emails. Drove me nuts. I sent him this:

Capitalization matters too. I tend to use capital letters and complete sentences when texting. I can't stand leaving out vowels just to abbreviate a word. It'll be interesting how the English language will change to reflect this in 50 years.

Good for him. Living the dream.
I’d think an airline ticket would be simpler. Or a GoPro camera with a SPOT (or I guess an iPhone with “Find my phone turned on...) tied to a helium balloon, but I won’t judge.
Hope he has fun.

Of course the earth is flat. It is held up by 4 elephants on the back of a giant turtle. What is the giant turtle standing on? So i thought you had to be at like 40k feet of altitude before you start seeing the curvature of the earth? There is no curvature, the earth is flat, remember?

What is the giant turtle standing on? IIRC he is just swimming through space.

You can see the curvature of the earth from I80 crossing the Bonneville Flats or at the Black Rock Desert. Usually the ocean has too much movement but on really calm days you can see it at sea.
