@danielstewart4128 -You said "Conspiracy Theorist is just a term created by the CIA to put down anyone looking fot the truth"
No my friend, there's nothing wrong with the term conspiracy theorist, except to those who try to turn that term into a conspiracy :-)
It is FAR more respectful, accurate and honest than the derogatory names used by some, like "Flearthers" or "Flatties" or "Flattards" or "Hoaxers" or "Truthers/Troofers" etc.
Conspiracy - Definition: A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful
Apollo hoax believers claim the NASA used billions of dollars of tax payer's money to fake the moon landings and hence it has been covered up by government(s) ever since.
How is that not a conspiracy?
Flat Earth believers claim governments and authorities have hidden the truth about the Earth being flat and hence forced the lie of a Globe Earth upon us for centuries/millennia.
How is that not a conspiracy?
Therefore anyone who comes up with theories about such a claimed conspiracy is a conspiracy theorist! Those who believe the claims made by those conspiracy theorists are conspiracy believers!
It's as simple as that, and therefore objections to the term "conspiracy theory" or "conspiracy theorist" or "conspiracy believer" is unfounded.
Hence I don't say "Flattard", I say flat Earth believer or conspiracy believer/theorist. I don't say "Hoaxer", I say Apollo hoax believer or conspiracy believer/theorist. Likewise, rocket hoax believer, Mars rover hoax believer, ET alien/UFO believer, Space Shuttle hoax believer, and so on.
So it doesn't make any difference whether the conspiracy is true or not, if something is claimed to be a conspiracy then the theories are conspiracy theories created by conspiracy theorists, and those who believe them are conspiracy believers :-)

@devilisahomo - Try using your intelligence and stop pretending to be stupid. A bird's eye view means from above straight down throughout the entire area, not from a fixed altitude above ONE location where perspective becomes an issue.
I doubt there's a single person reading this who doesn't understand the concept of representing a 2D layout of an area on a piece of paper, except you for some reason.
Hence it doesn't matter if that area is the ground floor of your home+garden, or the plans of a large housing estate, or a map of farm houses and the surrounding fields, or the map of an entire town/city.
EVERYONE understands that the 2D layout of such an area, including an entire city, can be accurately represented on a 2D surface, such as a piece of paper, i.e. a map (either physical or virtual).
The heights of building and the altitude of the terrain etc is irrelevant, unless specifically needed and therefore such information can be represented in another form, such as a contour map (does that confuse you too?).
So please explain why you find it so difficult to understand the simple concept of a map, something that even a child could understand :-)

Good, we're getting there, i.e. to the key point :-)
We can map any size 2D layout on a single sheet of paper, changing the overall scale as required.
Hence on that sheet of paper, we can accurately map the layout of your home+garden, or the layout of a housing estate, or the layout of your town/city.
So where's the accurate 2D map of the entire flat Earth? It doesn't exist! Even the AE/Gleason map is NOT an accurate 2D map of a flat Earth (some flat Earth believers are reluctantly beginning to accept that now).
Remember the test I mentioned with your city map, where you can measure the distance between ANY two locations in your city and work out the distance in the real world?
There's no 2D map of a flat Earth which will allow you to do that.
To prove the map of your city is not accurate, all someone has to do is find two locations on that map where the distance is NOT the same as it is in the real world.
Take any map claimed to be a flat Earth map, and we can find countless examples where the distances between them on the map is NOT the same as in the real world.
Surely if the Earth was flat then an accurate map should exist by now, it should be easy to create given all the maps of town and cities and countries, especially after over 150 years of published flat Earth books. But no such map can be found.
However, there is an accurate map of the Earth....

Now take a physical globe of the Earth (the bigger it is and the higher the quality the better), then select ANY two locations on that globe, measure the length between those locations and work out the distance in miles (based upon the size/scale of the globe) and it will match the distance measured for real for that same journey on Earth, either by land or sea or air.
That works for ABSOLUTELY ANY TWO LOCATIONS on Earth . No errors, no discrepancies, just accurate distances no matter which two locations you choose to measure on your globe. (just like the accurate map of your town/city).
NO OTHER SHAPE offers that result, much less a flat circle like the AE/Gleason map hijacked by flat Earth theorists.
So to claim the Earth is not shaped like a globe, you need to provide another shape for which the map of the Earth offers accurate distances for ANY two locations chosen .
Likewise, to prove the Earth is not a globe, all you need to do is find two locations where the measurement of the distance between them on the physical globe is DIFFERENT to the distance measured in the real world.
Until then, that evidence alone is enough to prove the map of the Earth arranged around a globe is accurate, it works, it has worked for centuries, and therefore the globe is the correct shape of the Earth.

@devilisahomo - Lets stay focused on the shape of the Earth for now, where we can look at some of your other claims later :-)
And yes, I can provide other solid proof that the Earth is a globe, but I shall bring the map discussion to a close as follows:
Approach a well educated flat Earth believer with a high IQ and asked him to bring the best flat Earth map he can find. Then approach a Globe Earth believer with only an average education and an average IQ and ask him to bring the best Globe of the Earth he can find.
Now you set them a challenge. You will give them both the exact (confirmed) distance between two locations on Earth which they can each find on their Globe/map.
From that, they will both be able to tell you how many miles are represented by 1 millimeter on their Globe/map by measuring it.
You will now give them two completely different locations on Earth for which they must tell you the distance in the real world ONLY by measuring it on their Globe/map to work out the miles from the number of millimeters.
You repeat this for 9 more pairs of different locations on Earth, where you're asking for an accuracy of say plus or minus 5% of the real world distance (quite generous).
At the end of the test you check their results:
The distances from the clever flat Earth believer using his map will be mostly, if not all, completely wrong. In contrast, all the distances from the average Globe Earth believer using his globe will be correct!
You can give them both 100 or 1000 more pairs of locations (as diverse as possible) on Earth to measure and the result would be the same, where distances measured from the flat Earth map will be mostly wrong (some of them WAY out), but all the distances measured from the map of the Earth on a GLOBE will be correct!
That can only work if the Earth is a globe, and therefore that is solid proof that the Earth is a globe :-)

@devilisahomo - 1) Lying to yourself doesn't make your point, it only makes mine. Antarctica on a globe of the Earth is larger than the USA, so on what basis do you claim it's tiny.
Just the fact that you claimed Antarctica is tiny on a globe proves a) You do no research yourself, and b) You allow your bias to get in the way of facts.
2) Australia is the correct size, shape and distance from others land masses on a globe of the Earth, but completely wrong on all claimed flat Earth maps. FACT.
Here for example is a comparison of confirmed distances between locations on Earth, and note the rounded distances measured on a physical globe of the Earth compared to the claimed flat Earth map (AE/Gleason);
https://ibb.co/bud1Xf
Just look at Australia on that map, where it is stretched to twice as long as it is in the real world.
Just look at how far out some of the distances are. The globe Earth map distances are correct. The flat Earth map distances are wrong.
Look at the direct flight path of Buenos Aires (Argentina) to Auckland (New Zealand), which takes around 12 hours on the Globe map distance (6440 miles), meaning the plane travels an average of 536 mph.
On the Flat Earth map distance (15,700 miles), the plane would need to travel an average of 1308 mph. That the maximum speed of CONCORDE for 12 HOURS.
So go ahead and tell me why you still believe Buenos Aires is 15,700 miles from Auckland on your flat Earth map :-)

The USA lost the ability to send people into space after the Space Shuttle was retired, but that doesn't mean the Shuttle was a hoax or previous US rockets were a hoax.
Concorde first flew in 1969 and yet since 2003 we haven't had a passenger plane capable of travelling faster than the speed of sound, much less twice the speed of sound like Concorde.
And Don Pettit was talking about rebuilding OLD retired technology, which never happens for the reasons he gave, and therefore we create NEW craft if we want those capabilities back (like the SLS and Orion).
ALL the 'destroyed' Apollo technology can be found intact in numerous science and aeronautical museums.
Anyway with the world's most powerful rocket, NASA's SLS, due to launch next year, and rockets from Space X and other private US companies, and manned space capsules like Orion and those from private US companies, the USA will very soon have all that technology back again and more.
As for their actions being questionable and odd, in what way exactly?
People make assumptions about this press conference without a) Realizing it actually took place 3 WEEKS after the astronauts returned to Earth, where they spent those 3 WEEKS in quarantine, and b) The astronauts behaved no different in this press conference than they did in previous press conferences.
