There was no end point where he fell off the earth. You can prove he did it by copying the journey yourself which others have tried to do. If the globe he used to illustrate his journey was cut up and laid flat he could not complete the journey without going back.
Miles, don’t be dumb that would be circumnavigation which is impossible. When I go to China I like to take China air as it’s a quick trip, they fly over the North Pole, or that direction at least. The US deems that more risky and flys another direction which proves something I think.
Ah, I am confused around the world in 80 days was the one around the entire globe. Clearly clever camera work and trickery. The Pole to Pole one would support Alpha as WHY WOULD HE NOT GO BACK UP THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE EARTH? There isn't one!
