Exactly. We have sent satellites around the Earth and photographed it to high accuracy. Even to this day. Every time you use the GPS map function on your car, you are using satellites orbiting around the Earth.
Would be quite unlikely that all the other massive celestial objects are spherical EXCEPT for... flat Earth.
Perhaps. However I like to make determinations scientifically, not probabilistically. Reality is a wild place, and does not conform to our expectations of likelihood.
If we want to know the shape of the earth, we have to study the shape of the earth! Studying the shape of things in the sky (“astronomically” far away, and so not directly study-able) to infer the shape of the ground you stand on is unscientific and silly!
If the earth is flat, is the moon also flat?
Kind of hard to be flat when we have sent probes around it and photographed the far side to high accuracy.
Same can be said about earth, nay?

Maybe, but why would the shape or the earth be dependent on the shape of the moon anyhow (spherical, flat, or otherwise)?
