Under FE theory - the rockets could be sent to the poles to crash or land where people can't see them, the live streams could be high altitude balloons/aircraft/advanced tech or fake;

The moon and sun are meant to be guided by the hand of God, they're probably real masses, those planets could be holograms and the early accounts could be faked, we call it an equator to fool people, it could be warmer at the equator because the sun circles the centre of the FE.

Before the 20th century 'round earth' was a theory less than 1% of people and if the earth was flat, the cabal would damn well do their best to hide that fact, since if that's true either the universe is just the earth and space is a lightshow or the earth is the only flat planet, either way it would make it very hard to be an atheist.
