Reid Wiseman shares “Earthset” video from Artemis II, filmed on an iPhone: “Only one chance in this lifetime”

Reid writes on X:

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

A challenge for flat earthers.

Tell me why in the hell millions of accredited scientists, several space organisations, every single government, and most of humanity would lie to you... about the shape of the fucking planet. What is the point. What is the end game? Why would we lie about whether or not the planet is a sphere or a disk? WHY would we lie? There is SO many more profitable and despicable things that governments and such lie about and this is what you're stuck on? The earth not being the shape they say it is?

Go to Antarctica. See the 24 hour sun for yourself. Explain to me how a flat disk can be half lit and half unlit, precisely, at all times, by the sun. Show me a single shred of evidence that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the earth isn't a sphere. You can't. You can try, but it ain't happening.

Good luck.

I'm seeing downvotes but not a single answer. How disappointing.

Operation Highjump, Forrestal, the Antarctic Treaty, and the CIA’s the H-Man Files — Draw Your Own Conclusions

In 1946-47, Admiral Richard Byrd led Operation Highjump to Antarctica.

The largest military expedition ever sent there — 13 ships, 4700 men. Scheduled for 6-8 months. It ended in roughly 8 weeks.

Byrd reportedly described encountering flying objects of unknown origin capable of extraordinary speed.

James Forrestal, the first US Secretary of Defense, was deeply troubled by what he knew.

He died in 1949 under disputed circumstances. Officially ruled a suicide.

In 1959 — just over a decade after Highjump — twelve nations signed the Antarctic Treaty.

Among them the US and USSR, who agreed on virtually nothing else during the Cold War.

The treaty restricts military activity, resource extraction, and civilian access.

It has no fixed expiration date.

In 2017, the CIA released documents alongside the JFK assassination files showing the agency was actively tracking rumors that the H-Man escaped Germany and fled to South America.

Why were the H-Man’s escape files in the JFK document cache?

Questions worth sitting with:

•	What ended Highjump early?

•	Why did Cold War enemies cooperate specifically on Antarctica?

•	What connects the H-Man’s escape intelligence to JFK?

•	Who benefits from restricted Antarctic access?

The documents are real.

The timeline is real.

The questions are open.

‘Fly Me to the Moon’ (2024) was part of the media conditioning for the fake Artemis II lunar mission of 2026
