Surveyors take measurements, Cartographers use that information to make Maps, there are many kinds of maps.
Bridge builders do not give a shit about anything other than the blueprints and the clock. Engineers that make the blueprints could not build a very big bridge if they did not account for the curvature of the earth.
The Navy Rail gun doesn't account for anything. The targeting system does that, and it uses the curvature in the calculations. If it didn't it wouldn't hit shit. In precision shooting at short distances the curvature causes the bullet to move a detectable amount in competition.

Wrong on all accounts. Just more presumptions without any actual research into the things mentioned.
Funny how quickly you dismiss the men and women involved in those careers know-nothings, too.
Typical Dunning Krueger Effect.

I'm not going to waste my time teaching you geotechnical engineering or Physics of flight or about material stress dynamics. Just stay on your flat earth and I will stick to my imaginary ball in space... building things you can't comprehend because they are beyond your horizon.

The Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge in China is the longest bridge in the world (102.4 miles long). There nothing accounting for the non-existent curvature that only Never A Straight Answer (NASA) and it's counter-governmental agencies have ever seen.
NASA says the curvature can be seen at 33,000 ft. However, there are many photos and videos online (no I'm not going to do the research for you) that have been as high as 20 miles. Not only is there no curvature, the horizon always stays at eye level, something that would be impossible on a ball.
The only science you have is programming, indoctrination and big Mike!
