My loathe for conspiracy theorists-flat earthers especially-kind of makes me want to watch this.

    Photos won’t convince people like that because they’ll just think it’s all fake. I suspect even if we all pitched in to buy them a trip into space, they still would think it was all fake – screens instead of windows, like an amusement park virtual reality ride.

      Oh no, they’ll believe when we kick them out the airlock. Don’t worry they’ll be in a spacesuit, we’ll see how fervently they hold onto convictions when we offer them the opportunity to take the helmet off. I doubt there would be many takers

        Nah, the spacesuits view port will be a screen, and no one’s dumb enough to take the helmet off in space, they know they’d die.

        They think the earth is flat, not space won’t kill them.

          They seem to think the Earth is housed in some kind of giant sphere. Presumably air fills this magic sphere so they’d be okay.

          I don’t know, I don’t subscribe to their delusions.
