Hello FES, I've been trying to research this topic and though I am understanding how currently there would be organizations who would benefit from perpetuating a spherical earth, who and why would anyone suggest let alone let themselves be killed for the idea that the earth is a sphere rather than the truth of it being flat? Certainly no one was being compensated in anyway four hundred years ago was there? Thank you for helping me understand who would benefit from this idea pre NASA and even pre America.
