  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I did notice two things:
--- at about a 60 km altitude you began to detect a curvature of the horizon that became progressively more pronounced as altitude increased
--- the fish eye lens at the landing barge gave a reverse curvature of the horizon

They never actually showed it land...surely somebody got a video of that, if not we'll never hear the end of it from Flat Earther's, and the like.

Too much exhaust to film from slowing down that fast? :D

Remember a puff of smoke is cheaper too.

Why did the hosts have to say "remember the earth's a sphere"? o_O

There is video of the landing now at about 21:18.

As I watched the first time around, I was only halfway paying attention to what they were saying and I thought they kept saying the line "of course I still love you", right out of the blue and I'm like...what?

Turns out that's the name of the landing pad or something like that.

Watched the video, wish I had watched it live; someday that'll be an insignificant footnote in history but right now it's a big step forward. Looking forward to the coming years in science and tech :)
