I have posted the flag of the U.N. purely as an example of a theoretical flat earth model to show that circumnavigation on a flat earth is entirely possible. There is no hard evidence to suggest circumnavigation has ever occurred south to north or that a south pole has ever been found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXkoIBDXwd8 The earth lacks the amount of curvature that you expect to see at the altitude of 100,000 feet. The camera in the video has a very clear amount of barrel distortion creating much of the visual anomaly of curvature. The proof of the barrel distortion rests in the fact that the arch of the visual curvature changes in the video as the camera tilts. Precisely how much visual curvature is present with a proper camera lens is unknown, but it is fairly certain that light would bend on its way to the observer at such a high altitude due to the changing mediums and changing atmospheric pressure on the journey to 100,000 feet. Interestingly, amateur videos clash with the visual presentation generated by NASA in that they do not depict the level of visual curvature NASA has provided in photographs and videos.

I ASSURE YOU THIS IS _NOT_ TROLLING. Flat earth theory is real. http://theflatearthsociety.org/
