Hello again. Thanks for the previous responses, they were fairly enlightening. I have another batch. Please note that these questions are not meant to prove/disprove either side.

1. If Apollo was faked, what motive would NASA have to fake the near-catastrophe that was Apollo 13? A publicity stunt for funding perhaps?

2. Moon rocks can be seen (and sometimes touched) in many museums. They don't feel like rocks on earth... Where do they come from?

3. So if all NASA does is spread propaganda and "embezzle funds" (as per the wiki), then who invented all of this space tech? https://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2008/tech_benefits.html

4. What happened to Amelia Earhart?

5. A famous philosopher once said that the simplest explanation is usually the most correct. What caused flat-earthers to doubt the model they were taught in childhood?

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I suppose this could be considered entertainment by some people.

Have you seen the movie?  It's just a hell of a story.  Also, it's possible they needed a reason to stop.

2. Moon rocks can be seen (and sometimes touched) in many museums. They don't feel like rocks on earth... Where do they come from?

Volcanic glass doesn't feel like other rocks on earth.  This does not imply that it comes from space.

3. So if all NASA does is spread propaganda and "embezzle funds" (as per the wiki), then who invented all of this space tech?

I'll be honest, I'm not convinced of the grand NASA conspiracy... but inventions like LEDs also don't require going to space.

4. What happened to Amelia Earhart?

Your guess is as good as mine.  Does the shape of the earth make a difference?

5. A famous philosopher once said that the simplest explanation is usually the most correct. What caused flat-earthers to doubt the model they were taught in childhood?

I guess this is a difference in our interpretation of what 'simple' means, but the moving, spherical earth solar system model is far from the simplest explanation.  Even a geocentric system is simpler.  Go outside; look at the horizon.  The simplest explanation is that the earth is stationary and flat.  Is it correct?  I'm not sure, but I'm starting there.

The geocentric model is simple until you observe the motion of the planets in the sky.

If you look beyond just what you see at first glance, you see problems with flat earth everywhere. Round earth is not as simple as flat earth in some respects, but it actually works when you want to fly from Johannesburg to Sydney, and flat earth does not.
