Flat-Earthers Are A Joke For The Success Of The SpaceX-NASA Rocket
JAKARTA - For a long time, Flat Earth adherents have considered the shape of the planet we live in today as not round like science in general. They believe that the planet Earth has been flat.
However, since the launch of a commercial rocket initiated by SpaceX and NASA into space. Many flat earth communities are actually ridiculed and made fun of when Crew Dragon's camera captured the spherical shape of the Earth
"Hey #FlatEarth, we just launched two Americans into full space, with live footage. There's absolutely no way it's fake. Suck, flerfs," said the @USMCNoggin account, as reported by the Unilad page, Saturday, June 6.
Tune in to hear @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug on Crew Dragon and for live views of Earth → https://t.co/bJFjLCzWdK pic.twitter.com/P5nxAyAJFn

The video uploaded by NASA shows the process of launching SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station (ISS). In the footage is seen, the rocket process carrying Dragon Crew took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. When entering orbit, you can see the shape of the planet Earth, curved like a ball.
"Flat earther must be very confused right now," added @bringsnacks_.
Hey #FlatEarth, we just launched two Americans into space completely live, with tons of live footage. Absolutely no way it could have been fake. Suck it, flerfs.

Despite receiving a lot of ridicule, this flat earth community does not pay attention to the process of launching a rocket into space. Through their Twitter account, The Flat Earther, this community thinks that the recording may have been fabricated.
"Why do you think the earth is a globe? Because you look at that Photoshop image. Have you ever tried to independently prove the world? If not, then you don't have globe proof." he wrote.
In fact, the flat-earth community still refuses to believe that the planet that is currently inhabited is spherical. "Fake news, we all know that Stanley Kubrick filmed this three years ago," said @talacs.
Many theories have emerged created by the Flat-Earthers, most of them believing that the world is flat and the Sun moves in a circle around the North Pole to create day and night.
They also believe that humans live on immovable land with a dome above it, and that the Sun, Moon, and stars and everything else that is seen in the sky are within the Earth, not outer space.
Indeed, SpaceX and NASA have succeeded in sending two astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken into space. They departed using the commercial Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule, both of which are now known to be still on the International Space Station (ISS).
