Branson Vs. Bezos: Who Really Wins This Space Race?​
The Amazon founder may not be first to blast off but he has far
more financial firepower. He's even winning the public relations
battle.
By
Chris Bryant
July 10, 2021, 12:00 AM CDT
HTML https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-07-10/richard-branson-vs-jeff-bezos-who-wins-the-billionaire-space-race
Within the next fortnight two of the Earth’s wealthiest
individuals will attempt to fly into space. Richard Branson’s
flight on Sunday aboard a Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc.
spaceship will be followed by Jeff Bezos’s rocket trip with Blue
Origin LLC on July 20. In a summer not lacking in awe-inspiring
spectator sports, this rivalry remains pretty unique. And it’s
not without risk.
It’s taken a couple of decades for both men to realize their
ambition of going into space. Blue Origin was founded in 2000
and Virgin Galactic four years later. The critics will harp that
they could have devoted their time and money toward more worthy
terrestrial endeavors (and paying more tax). Their jostling to
be first smacks of billionaire bravado.
Yet the spectacle is unmissable. [size=14pt]If seeing Earth’s
majestic curvature inspires better care of this planet, then I’m
all for rich folks taking a joyride into space. (At around
$250,000 a ticket to fly with Virgin Galactic, this remains a
rich person’s pastime.)
And if Branson and Bezos’s space odyssey inspires even a handful
of kids to attempt hard things, so much the better. I just hope
nobody feels ill: Branson is planning to live stream his trip.
While there’s symmetry in billionaires blasting off within days
of each other, Branson and Bezos have followed quite different
technical paths and they’ve done so with markedly different
budgets. They can’t even agree on what technically counts as
“space.”
Where Is Space?​
Where Earth’s atmosphere ends and space begins is far more
ambiguous than you might expect. Even the billionaires don’t
agree.
[/size]
HTML https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w768/upload/3c/cd/c5/shutterstock-1060593083.jpg
Bezos is adamant that space begins at the internationally
recognized Karman line some 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea
level. Blue Origin typically reaches an apogee of around 66
miles. By contrast, Virgin Galactic flies to an altitude of
around 55 miles, thereby surpassing the 50-mile mark at which
U.S. military pilots are awarded their astronaut wings. For what
it’s worth, I don’t think this matters.
Bezos’s New Shepard rocket takes off and lands vertically,
whereas Virgin Galactic spaceflight system comprises a rocket
ship that detaches from a carrier aircraft at around 45,000
feet, having taken off horizontally much as a regular plane
would. Virgin Galactic has completed three piloted suborbital
space flights already. Blue Origin has been to space 15 times,
but never with people on board.
Bezos appears to be outspending Branson and no wonder: Bezos’s
$214 billion fortune makes Branson look like a pauper. The
Virgin Group founder is worth “just” $7.9 billion, according to
the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
There's Rich and Then There's Richer​
Jeff Bezos’s net worth eclipses Richard Branson’s very healthy
fortune
Bezos has sold around $1 billion of Amazon.com Inc. stock
annually to fund Blue Origin. By comparison, Branson has said
he’s invested almost $1 billion in Virgin Galactic, which burns
through around $250 million of cash yearly. He’s sold several
chunks of Virgin Galactic stock to help fund his pandemic-hit
terrestrial interests. If Sunday’s flight is a success I’m
convinced that Virgin Galactic will soon raise more capital
while the shares are flying high.
Branson has historically made up for what he lacks in financial
power with a talent for self-publicity. His last-minute bid to
beat Bezos into space is pure Branson, as were indiscreet
comments about his wife vowing not to attend his funeral if he
doesn’t make it home.

Space Virgins Get Lucky?
3 minutes
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G4udHtgJYo
Space fantasy fan-boys and fan-girls have just received their
latest damage-control propaganda update from actor Richard
Branson where he claims to have gone to space and filmed the
spinning-ball Earth for us (but really he just did some
parabolic maneuvers simulating free-fall while in a fancy
plane)!
Unfortunately for old Dick and his riders, rather than use a
normal lens to film the Earth, like all honest amateurs do when
sending up their high altitude balloons, these space virgins,
just like NASA, Space X, the Red Bull dive and all other
so-called "official" sources, always suspiciously choose to use
a fish-eye lens causing the horizon to constantly and radically
warp from convex, to flat, to concave.
As the camera tilts relative to the horizon the ends warp up or
down respectively, but when held still and level the horizon is
flat. As the normal back camera shows, the horizon actually
remains perfectly flat and rises to the eye-level of the camera
all the way up.
If the Earth was actually a globe, no matter how large, the
surface of the globe would curve downwards in all directions
away from the observer causing them to necessarily tilt their
heads down more and more the further they ascended to be able to
see the horizon. In reality, which is only consistent with
rising over a flat plane, the horizon rises along with the
observer and remains precisely at eye-level for the entire
ascent!
This trick is apparent both in Branson's trip this week as well
as Baumgartner's Red Bull dive from several years ago. The
fish-eye lens cameras show a constantly warping horizon which
was already curving the picture at ground level the very same
amount of so-called "Earth curve" that it showed at 128,000 feet
just before diving.
The trick is given away however when they switch to the regular
non-fish eye lens camera inside the craft which shows a
perfectly flat horizon still perfectly at eye-level while
hovering over 20 miles above a supposed globe. Do you see
something wrong with this picture? If you do, then welcome to
the truth of your hoaxed reality. If you don't, then enjoy
watching these terrible slack-jawed actors with their mouths
gaping wide open at how ridiculously gullible you sheeple are.

Hello Family, I just received the saddest news that the one our
Father used to bring me and countless others to His truth has
passed away. Rob Skiba is without a doubt the most influential
person in the truth movement and the best at making the Bible
interesting and fun to study.
I can't put together any words that would do him justice due to
the shock and sadness, but I wanted to share a link I found that
will allow those of you who want to support his wife and family
a chance to do so.
I found the link to his paypal on his fb page and hope that it
is the best place to help his wife Sheila with anything she
needs. If you feel led to support her, please do so. Thanks!

ROB SKIBA'S WISDOM AND WARNING FROM 2013 ABOUT TODAY'S REALITY
This is by no means a full length tribute to Rob as it would
take me months to create anything that does his ministry
justice. However, I did want to share some of the things that
have brought me comfort since learning of his passing.

It is a very sad day...He is one of several the Lord has taken
home. This leaves a void where they preached the truth. Rob took
on a difficult subject/section of the Bible and that was about
the Flat earth...His teaching of Genesis 6 also will be
missed...I hope someone preserves these teaching for many years
to come...May His family be comforted in knowing they will see
him again in heaven if they are in Christ as He was.

William Shatner's rocket launch: real or fake?
Dear Captain Kirk: if the earth appeared flat to you at 350,000
feet, then there is no globe. Just come out and tell everyone
the earth is flat, it's the right thing to do.

Eratosthenes Experiment Debunks Flat Earth?
3 minutes
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH4PW0Y0wY8
One of the most common alleged proofs quoted for the spherical
Earth theory is the Eratosthenes sticks and shadows experiment.
Many people may remember NASA spokesman Carl Sagan presenting
this experiment by using a map of Egypt with two obelisks
attached and showing their resulting shadows.
The story goes that around 250 B.C. a Greek mathematician and
philosopher named Eratosthenes noted that at noon during the
Summer Solstice in Syene, the Sun cast no shadow and the rays
could reach straight to the bottom of his well, yet meanwhile in
Alexandria a vertically standing metal rod cast a significant
shadow.
Eratosthenes, Carl Sagan, and other globe proponents reason that
this result is impossible on a flat Earth. To quote Carl Sagan,
"If at a certain moment each stick casts no shadow at all, that
is perfectly easy to understand provided the Earth is flat.
If the shadow at Syene is a certain length, and the shadow at
Alexandria is the same length, that also makes sense on a flat
Earth. But how could it be, Eratosthenes asked, that at the
same instant there was no shadow at Syene and a very substantial
shadow at Alexandria?
The only answer (he claimed) was that the surface of the Earth
is curved." After reaching this conclusion, Eratosthenes then
famously factored the length of the two shadows with his assumed
distance to the Sun and recorded a measurement of the globe
Earth's circumference close to what heliocentrist astronomers
still use today.
The fact of the matter is, however, that Eratosthenes, Sagan,
and others are simply incorrect in their assumption that this
would only be possible on a curved Earth.
In reality, the exact same results occur on a flat Earth with a
local Sun. Eratosthenes’ calculations were made assuming the
Sun to be millions of miles away so that its rays would fall
perfectly parallel even in points as divergent as Syene and
Alexandria.
Anyone familiar with the phenomenon known as crepuscular rays,
however, knows full well that the Sun's rays simply do NOT fall
perfectly parallel, especially at such distant points, rendering
the entire argument moot. Furthermore, using sextants and plane
trigonometry, by measuring the Sun’s angle at two points on
Earth simultaneously and factoring their distance from each
other, the Pythagorean theorum reveals that the Sun is NOT
millions of miles away, but instead less than a few thousand.
High altitude balloon footage has also filmed lighting hot-spots
on clouds further proving the Sun to be local and acting as a
spotlight.
Therefore if globe believers wish to be honest, they must admit
it is their faulty assumption that only a distant Sun with
parallel rays could produce such results which has led to their
faulty conclusion of a curved Earth, because Flat Earthers have
always maintained that the Sun was local, and the very existence
of crepuscular rays render the entire experiment invalid.

Earth's Curvature Visible from your Airplane Window?
4 minutes
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXebSjdH5G0
When confronted with the question of the shape of the world,
many people are quick to assert that they live on a globe
because they believe they have personally seen the curvature of
the Earth from their airplane window. Some people even believe
when they visit the beach or climb atop a mountain that they are
able to see the horizon curve downwards far in the distance.
The reality is, however, that anyone thinking they can see
curvature on the horizon from any altitude is suffering from a
serious case of confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance.
To begin with, the glass used in all commercial airplane
passenger windows is actually round, layered and slightly curved
which distorts the edges giving the impression that the horizon
and other straight lines curve downwards. These rounded windows
have the effect of evenly distributing pressure and reducing the
likelihood of cracks or breaks because they have no corners for
stress to concentrate making them better at withstanding
pressure. Unfortunately though, these windows also have the
strange side-effect of causing people to believe that the Earth
is a globe because they mistake the curvature of the glass for
that of the horizon...
