![(((fucktories))) - the Earth is flat goyim!!! [1747x1855 - 137KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/qhsTqm.png){kind=link}
If the earth can be circumnavigated by going south and crossing the south pole, then why aren't there any flights going from South America to Austrailia?
Because it's uninhabited, dangerous as fuck, the whether changes will destroy a plane before it hits the ground. Also the Earth is a sphere, it wouldn't save very much at all. Little bit of game theory says it's better to do it the way it's done.
Uninhabited? Kinda like the ocean? People fly over that everyday. Weather? Planes fly above storms except takeoff and landing.
It would literally save thousands of miles off a trip.
One more point, take a look at the stops for a fight from Buenos Aires or any south American city to Sydney. Why would they all cross the equator to the north?
Look at the United Nations logo, and see if these flight paths make more or less sense on their map or a globe.
Uninhabited? Kinda like the ocean?
Are you equating the ocean which like you stated is heavily traveled to a vast expanse of emptyness that can go from a warm of -10 degrees to a cold of -50 degrees in minutes? Where pressure changes just as drastically? Where wind gusts at even greater ranges?
Yeah, totally safe. Totally comparable.

Quite.
