#9 and #10 you actually can't see much of Earth at 24 km, only to a distance of about 550 km where the horizon is when looking from the height of 24 km.
In this experiment they used fish-eye lenses in the cameras to get a wider field of view, but it also distorts the image creating the illusion of seeing the whole globe.
