A crew of pilots and former astronauts broke a world record after flying 25,000 miles around the globe in 46 hours​

• A nine-person flight crew circumnavigated the globe in just over 46 hours, 39 minutes, and 38 seconds this week, breaking a previously held record by almost six hours.
• The crew, known collectively as "One More Orbit," flew over the North and South poles from Tuesday to Thursday.
  
• The flight was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landings, which saw humans reach the moon for the first time.

An international flight crew has broken a world record after flying around the world in 46 hours, 39 minutes, and 38 seconds.

The crew, known collectively as "One More Orbit," flew over the North and South poles from Tuesday to Thursday this week.

The team, which flew in a Qatar Executive Gulfstream G650ER ultra long-range business jet, managed to beat the world record by 5 hours, 51 minutes, and 26 seconds, according to its website.

One More Orbit's flight broke two previous records. The first, for the quickest overall time to fly around the world was set in 1977 by Capt. Walter Mullikin, while the second, for the fastest average speed, was set by Capt. Aziz Ojjeh in 2008.

The total route spanned about 22,328 nautical miles (25,695 miles/41,351 km), said Captain Hamish Harding, a mission director and one of the pilots.

The average speed was about 535 mph, according to The Associated Press's calculations.

The pilots attempted the flight to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11's first moon landing on July 20, 1969, which saw humans go to the moon for the first time.

It started and ended its mission at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida — exactly where the Apollo 11 crew took off almost 50 years ago.

Tuesday's mission also started at 9:32 EDT — the exact same time as Apollo 11, One More Orbit said.

LET THE JUELZING BEGIN!!!!!

[O.T.I.S.]

All they did was fly in a circle

My nikka, the ancient Greeks knew that the Earth was round and even knew it's circumference while using basically no technology.

Anyone who takes "Flat Earth Theory" seriously is just advertising their ignorance.

Made this thread over a year ago thinking Coli brehs would come through with real proof flat earth is .
I'm still here waiting.

Let's hear your......explanation.



I would tag a certain other individual, but he has me on 'Ignore'.

Y'all know who I mean.

Could one of you 'tag' him and let him take this 'L'.

I guess they faked the Live Stream and GPS data as well?

SD and Inmarsat livestream One More Orbit world record circumnavigation attempt
​

To support the endeavor of the One More Orbit team and the record-breaking attempt, the SD team installed equipment and services to deliver the fastest connection possible for private aviation. Using the Satcom Direct Router and SD Operating System, the One More Orbit team remained connected across the network service area.

As well as supporting the mission team, SD was tasked with supporting a documentary filing team also. Having extensively tested the system in the UK at SD’s Farnborough facility, the solution was further put through its paces in flight ahead of the launch on July 9th.

For the flight crew, the performance of the aircraft was critical to the mission, and SD’s flight operation software was crucial. Through SD Pro, the aircraft remained synchronized with the ground operations, enabling both flight crew and mission control to keep an eye on all essential flight data for optimum operational efficiency.

For those of us on the ground, the SD support allowed live flight tracking of all 22,422 nautical miles of the flight, via the One More Orbit website. This was in tandem with Inmarsat’s Global Xpress (GX) service, which provided broadband coverage for the livestream.

Jensen commented on the system’s capabilities, saying,

“The One More Orbit mission aligns with our company philosophy of always pushing boundaries, looking for new solutions and delivering effective connectivity, as we take on the challenges and make the seemingly impossible, possible. Business jet users will only benefit from this adventure as we have learned a few things along the way. Not only has this set a new world record, it has raised the bar for business aviation connectivity expectations.”

Why entertain stupid people? If they spend their pre-K through twelfth grade skeptical why would they change their mind now?

Leave those dumb asses alone. We should be ecstatic that these people can’t hide their stupidity. It’s like knowing someone has AIDS. Like how do you get that in 2019? Dumbass!

It ain't about changing their minds. It's about curing them of the Dunning-Kruger Syndrome.

Can't believe people still think the Earth is round
