It's always fun to watch SpaceX launches. What I am curious about is the few different cameras/camera angles that always show the earth below the rocket. One can notice if paying attention that in some of these shots the earth appears to have No Curvature. We all know that wide angle lenses cause a barrel distortion (spherizing effect) but I am not aware of any lenses that would do the opposite, another words make a sphere flat. At 4:07 minute mark one can see what I am talking about. Anyone have an answer? Really evident at the 8:44 min mark

With some 2,700 satellites and enormous amount of debris floating at tremendous speeds in orbit around earth, I can't imagine how they keep track of all of them when they do orbit insertion of these rockets and especially carrying astronauts. Here is a picture representation of the current orbital stuff.
