Mind-blowing footage of SpaceX Dragon orbiting Earth has everyone saying the same thing

SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft’s orbit has shown something phenomenal about the Earth, and it's left social media users making the same point.

After the Fram2 mission successfully shared the 'first views of Earth's polar regions' from its Dragon spacecraft in April this year, we’ve been treated to another video of the spacecraft doing its thing.

On April 1 at around 9:46pm, a Falcon 9 rocket, with a SpaceX Dragon on top, launched from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

As part of SpaceX's Fram2 mission, it was trying to orbit Earth from pole to pole and Elon Musk confirmed it did as planned.

In a post to Twitter, SpaceX shared the 'first views of Earth's polar regions from Dragon' and people began to say the same thing.

This is actually the exact same thing many have said about the latest video shared by NASA astronaut Don Pettit.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "Dragon orbiting across Europe into Asia."

In the video, you can see our planet as the spacecraft zooms by and also the Kármán line, separating the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space.

One person who saw the video immediately pointed out the round rock we live on, writing: “Huh, look at that the Earth is round.”

A second joked: “Look how flat that is!!!”

Someone else said: “Seriously, how can anyone be a flat-earther?”

While most people were talking about the Earth being round, some insisted the clip was 'fake'.

One user wrote: “Okay... let's say the sun is behind the earth at the time the video starts, hence its dark ..... look at the size of earth and then the distance of the earth dragon orbits .... lets say 50%.... where is the sun at this point, why is it not daytime? .....ffs wake up people.”

Another speculated: “This is not real. Where are the stars?”

Someone else claimed: “That is absolutely a fake video.”

However, Musk hit back at the speculation, writing: “This is a real video.”

A former Flat Earther recently spoke out about discovering our planet is spherical during a paid-for trip to Antarctica.

"Alright guys, sometimes you are wrong in life," Jeran Campanella said.

Campanella, who runs the YouTube channel 'Jeranism', was flown out to Antarctica for a staggering $35,000 after a person wanted to prove his theory wrong.

The theory involves going to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun because on a flat Earth, it would be impossible for the Sun to stay on Earth 24 hours a day.

The 'Center for Inquiry' invited the former Flat Earther onto its YouTube channel, where he explained his ignorance of the evidence that the Earth is round.

Host Rob Palmer asked him whether he managed to see the Moon while he was in Antarctica and he said he realized he was wrong in that moment, as according to the Flat Earth theory, the Moon would be flipped upside down at that point of the Earth.

He said: "No matter what you threw at me I could come up with some [excuse] - and I thought that was actually research, I thought that was actually doing something right.

"Now I realize, ''Oh man that's one of the most biased, basically confirmation biased positions that you can take' where you're just looking for the evidence that meets your belief and then you really disregard anything else - you really just throw it out, it's almost like you don't hear it."
