So I saw an interesting post about how a flight from Sydney, Australia to Johannesburg, South Africa would go over Asia on the FE. So it got me thinking: How would the cover-up of a flat earth work?
Problem 1: My first question was: Wouldn't they have to get the Pilots in on it? Commercial Airliners would see the flights going over places they wouldn't on a flat earth through the windows, and might see the curvature of the earth if flying high enough. They would also have to be constantly climbing to keep from
being caught by the earth while it is accelerating at 9.8 m/s. The cost would be extraordinary, which brings us to the next problem.
Problem 2: The cost is another problem. I'm not going to try to calculate it, but the films of earth from space would have to use technology they didn't have. The Commercial Airliners cost a ton. I'm not going to think about every single thing that would have to have been faked, but the cost would be too large already.
