It was the second time I've seen it.
BTW, Socrates, the reference made in that TV show to the] Vanguard 1 US Navy satellite 'discovering' that the Earth is "pear-shaped" is a load of horse manure.
Admittedly...
The Earth does ever so slightly bulge out in the southern hemisphere.
But the difference is measured in less than 10-15 meters [less than 50 feet].
Put that in perspective?
A fully-inflated beachball or basketball are less spherical that our Earth.
