I'm new to this whole thing, but hey, I'll answer this question. The way I see it is like this, "in the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king." You haven't been to space. I haven't walked on the moon. So, I have no proof that the earth is round. Because I can't very well hop in a spaceship and go do backflips on the moon, I am forced to trust scientists and believe that what the say is true. They control the narrative regarding space. They are the authority on all things space.
We live in a culture that glorifies the scientific world view. This world view champions scientific proof over any other source of reason. You can even seen hints of that world view in my disbelief in NASA's narrative about space.
If I say I saw an alien, someone would ask for a video proof with a time stamp. Maybe a selfie with the alien. Some form of irrefutable evidence.
Through mindset all information is processed. For me personally, there are too many questionable statements that are paraded around as truth. There are a lot of weird things to find when you dig in to the history of NASA and other space programs. Simply put, there is enough discrepancy to warrant reasonable doubt.
Do I believe the world is flat. No.
Do I believe the world is round. No.
Until I find suitable evidence, I am staying curious and skeptical.
So, will I be embarrassed if the world is round? Nope.
Why? Because I had the balls to challenge the status quo. This isn't teenage angst (outgrew that years ago, haha.).
This is using common sense to seek answers when things don't add up.
...but
If the world is flat... or anything other than round. Oh boy, I will laugh so hard. Because yes, FE'ers look crazy right now, but if they are right and EVERYONE ELSE is wrong... Wow. Now THAT would be embarrassing.
That's my opinion anyway.
