Still waiting on a single example of a ship being partially below the horizon and then being brought fully into view with a telescope. Just one video showing this :(
Sadly it will never happen.

Watched the video, didn't see any ships partially below the horizon being brought into full view. Can you maybe point out the minute where this happens? Or provide two screenshots, that would be perfect. One with only the top of the ship being visible (bottom half below the horizon), and then zoomed in with the entire ship being visible.

Don't think that's the claim - it should be ships that appear to be over the horizon can be brought back into view - the idea here is that you think the horizon is due to the curve in the earth when its actually just because its the line where the distant sea becomes optical level with your eye.
Of course that plane will now appear to visually drop behind that point/line and that's how the perspective matrix works. The ship is not going beyond the curve, its just going beyond that point of your level perspective plane.

Recently you said there are people with guns controlling access to antarctica, specifically to prevent people learning the truth about the Ice Wall and beyond

You have a link or credible screen shot?


There's no need to protect Antarctica, -50° temperatures and 1000s of miles of barren icy Mountainous terrain do that, plus i dont think your allowed to take fuel beyond 60° south, there lots of ways they can limit you without an actual gun

is that a nervous laugh because you don't understand the explanation but too ashamed to admit it?
