    Why do they even think it’s not possible to fly to the moon? It’s hardly the most difficult thing in the world these days.

      There is no single “flat earth” theory or explanation as they never agree with each other, but one of the more common “arguments” is that it’s impossible to leave the earth because of the solid “firmament” that the earth is supposedly contained within.

      They point at video of rocket launches that curve away as “proof” that the rockets all tipped over and ditched in the ocean, when in fact that is clear proof of a spherical planet.
