The hilarious thing is: Even if they actually manage to do that and receive pictures or whatever - they still deny it! It could be some government hack hijacking signals or some artificial sphere created just to catch all these truthers off guard! It's impossible to argue with them and they make it impossible to proof anything themselves.
If it were lens curve, it would be curving upwards at the edges. Tops halves curve down, bottom halves curve up. The horizon is in the bottom half.
If this were an image that is affected by lens curvature, all it shows is that the upwards curve of the lens isn't strong enough to counter the physical curve of the horizon.

I think we can safely dismiss people using steam power as rocket scientists. The "I think the Earth is flat" is just extra icing on the "look at me Im a dumbass" cake. Not to mention 1800ft isnt even close to high enough to see the curvature of the Earth... coulda saved 20k and just rented a hot air balloon for 100 bucks and got the same results
If only more flat earth like people could launch themselves into space.
I'm not really straight either.
Let's get 1 thing straight, I'm not
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”
Although does this apply in this case?
No seriously, I don't even know how I'm supposed to make sense of this story.
I suppose it's the best proof ever needed to show that we're very good at selective truth.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..

At 550 meters, he won't see anything and as such will still think the Earth is "flat". The curvature of the Earth can't even be seen until around 10,000-11,000 meters. About the altitude a commercial airline flies. Even then it's so minor that most people won't notice. Astronauts and spy plane pilots, like the SR-71 that operated at 3 times that altitude, say it's not really visible until about 22,000 meters. The 550 meters this bozo is gonna fly is literally nothing.
