Of all the billions and trillions of dollars that are generated in aerospace technology, from Elon Musks amazing rockets to Sirius letting the whole world listen to Howard Stern, and everything in between, you truly believe, like you truly, truly believe that all the navigators of the earth, the shipping conglomerates, the insanely rich airplane manufacturers, all the money that is literally generated every second of every day just in terms of transporting people and goods around the planet earth, all the millions and billions and trillions of dollars generated by that alone, and somehow, for some reason, we are taught a massive lie? This is what you believe?
To what end are we taught this lie? Who benefits from billions of people thinking the earth is spherical? Who is sitting in their dimly lit boys clubs tapping their fingers together saying 'excellent'? Who has what to gain from this enormous lie?
only a select few at the top know the lie...most nasa employees are compartmentalized so they don't know what other employees are doing and get bigger clues to what is going on.
most pilots don't know the truth because they were deliberately trained to do checks and cross checks and always be distracted and focused on passenger safety to even acknowledge what they are seeing outside below them.
most teachers just follow a curriculum and have no idea they are perpetuating the lie.
so NO, everyone is NOT in on it (knowingly)
again, understanding this requires using logic and critical thinking.
