Wide-angle fisheye camera lenses commonly used on high-altitude rocket payloads distort the view, making the Earth's horizon look dramatically curved and making the flat earth appear round.

I know you joke but are there any non-fish eye lens videos that captures ascent from the ground to space? I think those videos would shut the flat earthers up for good.
