And every single time I went around the planet, it was round.

Wait, hold on.

Wasn't flat a single time.

Not one.

Not one.

That's a pretty good loop.

That's a lot of time off the planet.

What were you feeling?

Let me tell you that story because I think it's interesting.

So I'm in the right seat of the space shuttle, my first launch, and you lay on your back for three hours roughly before you actually light the candle and start heading up.

That's cute.

You call it a candle.

That's cool.

We're lighting the candle, and all of a sudden, you're laying on your back 1G, and all of a sudden, you're at almost 2Gs immediately, and you start accelerating.

And, you know, I'm in the right front seat of the space shuttle, light blue sky, and it just gets dark.

Actually, first, we go through a cloud, straight up through a cloud.

It comes closer, closer, closer.

As it gets close, the light from the solid rocky boosters, the big orange, you know,

that's putting out a lot of flame.

The whole cloud goes orange for like a second and then we poof right through it.
