I can't reconcile the images in the beginning with the ones starting at 0:44 seconds.
Doesn't make sense.
The difference is the camera lenses used. A fish-eye camera lense will make everything look curved, even if it's not.
Close sources expose before dim sources do. Call an observatory and they can explain this in more detail.
Buy ya an old DSLR camera and learn to use it. All will make sense.
Will it also be able to pull back like you are thousands of miles further away, too?
i agree. nothing in this world makes sense.
Exactly, I came here to say just that. At the 0:44 sec mark, the orbit appears to be extremely high up, and that view lasts a few seconds, then jumps back to what appears to be a low orbit altitude. You cannot reconcile these two views unless they were taken from two very different orbits and spliced together.
I agree. The first images show a low orbit with a forever horizon of an enormous earth that is completely flat with no curvature seen. The short section starting at 0:44 sec mark is much, much farther away from earth with a curved edge that doesn't work. The curve doesn't work because if you note the size of the continents visible below, the curved earth as shown isn't big enough to fit them all.
What would spinning at 1000 mph earth do to the air?
Since space is a vacuum there is nothing (no drag) to counteract earth's gravity. So nothing really. The same reason why rocks aren't rolling uphill due to earth spinning at 1k mph
