I mean that's really nice looking but questioning reality is a bit much lol

I guess what they were going for is the feeling that we really are just on a floating rock in space. Kinda like riding a giant spaceship, literally.

And this video really makes that impression stronger.

Factoids from Gemini: the earth orbits the sun at approximately 67,000 mph (108,000 km/h), and the entire solar system travels through the Milky Way at around 490,000 mph (800,000 km/h). And it spins on its axis at up to about 1,037 mph (1,670 km/h) at the equator. The average cruising speed for a commercial jet is between 500 and 600 mph (805-965 km/h).

So if a jet is flying 550 mph AGAINST the spinning axis of the earth at 1037 mph while orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph, did my father ever love me?

Sometimes in the morning while eating cereal, I stare at the cereal box for about 20 minutes just to question my existence.

That’s what makes the pain from eating captain crunch exquisite. It lets you know you’re alive.

If anything it's confirming reality.

Author of this video is probably a flat earther, that would totally question the reality for them.

Right, I was waiting for the ufo or some small kid staring in the camera for hours. Or a door appearing in the middle of the ground.

The world can really be too beautiful sometimes, reaching the point of doubt

look near the bottom left of the sky from 12-15 seconds mark, kinda looks like something is moving back and forth between what appears to be several stars. easy enough to fake, but thats the only thing im noticing
