- Well, it clearly depends more on your vision than your altitude, since half the time when a flat-Earther trots out a picture that *they say* still doesn't show any curvature even though it was taken at such-and-such altitude, I can clearly see curvature. If someone needs glasses as thick as Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys does, of course they won't be able to tell the difference between a slightly curved line and a straight one. And obviously at only 120,000 feet, i.e. about 0.5% the radius of the Earth, you're only going to see slight curvature at best. - Whatever explanation you have for how a ship on a flat Earth can be out of sight and come back into view with the help of a zoom lens, still applies for ships on a round Earth that just aren't over the horizon yet, so this argument is self-defeating and proves nothing. - Water doesn't find "level", it finds equilibrium, e.g. in a rotating water tank it flows to the edges and takes on a curved shape. This argument is just a new skin on the incredibly basic "it looks flat" argument that small children have when they're taught the shape of the Earth in school, and the new skin is "forgetting how water works", which makes it even dumber.

1. nasa states the earth curve can be seen at 35,000 ft and you'll need a wide view. cameras have been up atleast 100,000ft and none was detected. 2. ships can see light houses atleast 20 miles away , using the formula for the earth curve , that lighthouse would be a more than 150 ft below the horizon. 3. your correct , only difference is the water is inside of the container , gravity solves this issue as many would claim , but there is one problem , gravity has the power to hold millions of tons of water stuck to the earth , but butterflies and insects go about their lives unaffected by the massive force called gravity.

1. If I say something's clearly visible to me and the reason you can't see something is probably because of poor vision, just saying the words "none was detected", i.e. repeating the fact that you can't see the thing, doesn't refute me. 2. Oh gee I wonder how a tower built to shoot a directional beam of light over the horizon to be easily spotted by passing ships might be spotted from a ship that's over the horizon? 3. And how could a force that affects objects in proportion to their mass *possibly* have so small an effect on creatures whose mass is very small?

1. that was not the issue , im just asking the question , nasa says something total different so , unless you have done more extensive research i cant see how you can explain why we dont see it when nasa says we should. this is your science im using. 2. if this where true , the beam of light would be poiting to the sky , use your senses and look at diagram of this example. 3. density causes objects to rise and fall , not gravity.
