10. Astronauts and the ‘Flat Earth’ Theory
Despite overwhelming evidence supporting Earth’s spherical shape, a small group continues to advocate for the flat Earth theory, alleging that astronauts are complicit in a global conspiracy. In response, astronauts like Chris Hadfield and Buzz Aldrin have publicly refuted these claims. Aldrin, the second person to walk on the Moon, emphasized the reality of Earth’s curvature, stating, “I did too. It’s called an orbit: the curved path of a celestial object around a star, planet, or moon.” (wcpo.com)
