heymerideth Apr 1, 2026 +1

Not to hijack the topic but damn, how awesome is that show?!!! I’d never even heard of it until season 2 was over and its tailor made for me!!

Tadpole-Jackson Apr 1, 2026 +1

That seems to be a trend with a bunch of Apple TV shows. They're consistently pushing out quality television, but only a couple shows get the fanfare

CarFlipJudge Apr 1, 2026 +11

Such a great show and severely under-watched

CarFlipJudge Apr 1, 2026 +228

They need to livestream every second and give flat earthers a direct link to the feed. They need to once and for all shut these idiots up.

228

freedfg Apr 1, 2026 +241

It won't matter. The ISS does live streams literally all the time. Flat earthers just call it all fake, CGI, Studio, underwater, whatever fits their narrative.

EnlightenedPotato69 Apr 1, 2026 +42

Exactly. We're in the fAkE nEwS, pRoBaBlY AI - if it doesn't fit my narrative - era. We're so fkd lol

I’m convinced we saw the ramping up of tech companies developing easy to use AI photo and video technology (flooding Facebook feeds with AI videos), so that when the Epstine files’ videos and photos are all released, they can be denied by the public as AI.

Punman_5 Apr 1, 2026 +17

You could literally put them in a spacesuit and put them in outer space and they’d claim the helmet has a VR screen or something. The only thing I think they’d accept would be for them to remove the helmet in a vacuum and even then they’d probably think “man how’d they fake this?”

arminghammerbacon_ Apr 1, 2026 +3

Reminds of this scene from Avenue 5. That was more about vaccine deniers, but it works with flat earthers too. https://youtu.be/skXaeucDYHo?si=A05vJ0Se1jrsdzey

The Final Experiment filmed the 24 hour sun in Antarctica. So clearly that was a CGI spotlight illuminati show inside a secret Vegas Sphere copy.

"It's all AI" would be the refrain (instead of it's CGI or a studio production). If people refuse the literal truth, there is almost nothing they won't do to maintain their reality. To reject it would break their sense of self.

trollsong Apr 1, 2026 +12

How many flat earthers do you encounter daily?

CarFlipJudge Apr 1, 2026 +10

Apparently there's one in my office. We were talking about the moon flyby mission and he said, "it's not like the moon is real anyway".

pichael288 Apr 1, 2026 +7

That's a bit more than flat earthers, they at least believe on the moon

They just move the goal posts again like they always do. "Fisheye lense, cgi, ai, filmed in a studio, not high enough to actually be space" they have a neverending stream of idiotic excuses.

Don't talk about them. It's been months since I seen anything about them.

111anza Apr 1, 2026 +2

Its not fact and evidence that will be needed to convince them.

2

exoriparian Apr 1, 2026 +2

You can prove the earth is round with a mathematical proof and never leaving the surface. They just don't care about facts.

2

dog_of_society Apr 1, 2026 +2

Even when they did the math themselves and it proved that, they just went "well we fucked the math up I guess but trust it's totally flat".

2

genesiss23 Apr 1, 2026 +2

It's been known since late antiquity that the Earth is round.

ObjectiveDark40 Apr 1, 2026 +2

They do. I just watched them load into the van. The whole thing is supposed to be live streamed https://www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBMIzNo?si=XxNHXB7p69f27geI

goldenfiver Apr 1, 2026 +2

They will claim the video is fake.

2

Jabberwocky2022 Apr 1, 2026 +2

A bunch of flat earthers went to Antartica to live stream the sun never setting (well they wanted to prove it's wrong). Guess what those flat earther streamers were surprise that both a) they were wrong and b) their followers didn't believe them and called them liars. I don't think anything can be done to convince some people of somethings. No matter how much evidence you give them.

2

CarFlipJudge Apr 1, 2026 +2

I wonder what would happen if we flew up 4 of the biggest non-believers and made them sign a contract stating that they will pronounce that the earth is round and the moon landing was real once they actually went to space.

2

Jabberwocky2022 Apr 1, 2026 +1

My guess: We'd have at most 4 less flat earthers?

1

Competitive-Ad-9404 Apr 1, 2026 +2

These people are only doing it so they can act like they know something you don't. At some point, never having understood math or science or government or history, they turn to conspiracy theories so they can say "Oh but what you don't know is....".

2

icepick3383 Apr 1, 2026 +1

that's it right there. They can't bear being just 'normal' and need to have something over on someone else - for either internet clout or to combat the unbearable loneliness they feel. it's simply a cry for someone to pay attention to me, because mom said i'm special.

flyingghost Apr 1, 2026 +1

"AI generated"

sweetdubbro Apr 1, 2026 +1

They could literally go to Florida and watch/feel the launch and still say it’s fake.

AwarenessRude5541 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Buddy. They claim the original was filmed in some room. They would just say this is AI now.

WompWomp187 Apr 1, 2026 +1

They livestream spacewalks all the time. Some of my favorite streams to watch.

thelordxl Apr 1, 2026 +1

They need to live stream it because cool shit like this is one of my last few faiths in humanity.

1

Galappie Apr 1, 2026 +1

They could watch the rocket take off in person and they’d just say the rocket doesn’t have anyone in it and livestream is pre recorded footage from a studio.

KtaadnRota Apr 1, 2026 -12

Flat earther's don't actually believe the Earth is flat, they just believe that it's really funny to f*** with you. And they aren't wrong. If you present them with irrefutable evidence, that will only serve the flat-earth agenda, because it will make the steam blow out your ears even harder when they tell you it's fake.

-12

64N_3v4D3r Apr 1, 2026 +7

Nah some of them definitely believe it.

7

MAMark1 Apr 1, 2026 +2

Haha people mock them as idiots. They aren't mad at them. They think they are pathetic losers who want to believe they have secret knowledge cause they lack self-actualization or have underlying personal flaws. This is like claiming you shit your pants to troll people around you by making them smell it. They just walk away and you are still covered in shit. And many of them are clearly sincere. Not sure that is better or worse than faking it. They are both stupid.

lavacadotoast Apr 1, 2026 +11

NASA on Wednesday morning started filling the SLS core stage with 733,000 gallons of super-cooled propellant that powers the rocket's [four RS-25 engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-25). The pickup truck-sized engines, built by Aerojet Rocketdyne, had powered NASA's Space Shuttle for decades.

11

Heimerdingerdonger Apr 1, 2026 -33

Lots of emissions. But then, NASA has cancelled Global Warming. So it's ok.

-33

TheTerribleInvestor Apr 1, 2026 +25

Looks like the rocket burns LOX and LH which is liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen which forms into water vapor when burned. So emissions not a an issue, the heat generated could be, but probably is probably negligible compared to what daily solar radiation is.

25

The-Lord-Our-God Apr 1, 2026 +1

I think what you meant to say is: LOX and LH, when burned, form into the chemical Dihydrogen Monoxide, which then forms into gaseous structures in the upper atmosphere and coalesces until it ultimately settles- uncontained- onto crops, into rivers and other natural environments, and onto buildings and machinery, where it causes corrosion and accelerates the growth of hazardous microbial life.

TheBurritoW1zard Apr 1, 2026 +1

Slight correction: water vapor is considered a greenhouse gas

That’s today

exoriparian Apr 1, 2026 +29

April Fools seems like a truly bizarre choice of launch date for a multi year program. It's not like there's a launch window issue. Edit: > Narrator: There was a launch window issue.

29

RegularGuy815 Apr 1, 2026 +12

They have a few days opening that begins today otherwise they have to wait til next month.

12

exoriparian Apr 1, 2026 +4

Really? Can you explain why? Something about light on the surface?

4

thegrimsqueeker Apr 1, 2026 +10

Its complicated (literally rocket science), but basically the moon is a moving object, and the earth is rotating at a rate different to the moons movement, which means there are certain times the rocket will be pointing at the moon and then long periods where the moon will be facing the wrong way. You basically run out of fuel once you leave the earths atmosphere, so you want to shoot the rocket so it’s more or less pointing at the moon, or rather pointing where the moon will be once the rocket gets there. You can’t really adjust your course once you’re up, and the launch pad can’t move, so the result is periods where the rocket will be in the right place at the right time if you launch at the right moment.

10

exoriparian Apr 1, 2026 +2

Thanks, that makes sense. I stand corrected.

2

dog_of_society Apr 1, 2026 +5

The moon doesn't maintain a consistent distance from Earth or the same trajectory each day over the course of the month, and the Earth is spinning. Tl;dr they have to wait until those variables line up to get a clear shot they can make without using more fuel than they have. Sort of like shooting a basketball from a merry-go-round.

If they point the rocket toward the earth while on the other side of the moon and nudge it we might be in for a world of hurt.

fuzzy_sphincter Apr 1, 2026 +5

Can we watch the launch live on YouTube? Also what’s the estimated time and date for landing or is it just a flyby?

5

kevymetal87 Apr 1, 2026 +4

I use SpaceFlightNow on YouTube to watch all the launches/missions. No BS. Also, just a flyby

Awesome, thanks for the info!

1

PhoenixReborn Apr 1, 2026 +2

NASA has their official stream as do several other channels https://www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBMIzNo There's no landing until at least Artemis 4. The Starship HLS used for landing is nowhere near ready. This flight will do a flyby without entering lunar orbit. Artemis 3 will test docking with Starship.

You can also watch on twitch. NASA has an official channel live right now.

They’re going *around* the moon. Going *to* the moon is next year if this goes well. I think a lot of people are finding out about this late and think it’s the touch down mission so just want to clear that up

invalidpassword Apr 1, 2026 +8

How exciting. I was about 10 when Armstrong took that first step on the moon. It was on a Sunday evening and they had put a TV in front of the pulpit at church. It's probably the first and onlt time the world was as one.

God speed and safe travels to the men and women heading up. Best of luck to all involved in the mission. My father grew up watching the Apollo missions with his father. I grew up watching the shuttle missions with my father. Tonight, the old man is coming over to watch the next generation with me and my son. All the evil, chaos, and barbarism we experience in the world has never diminished man’s thirst for knowledge, exploration, and advancement. Maybe that’s a naive and starry eyed view, but that’s a beautiful thing to me, and something I hope we never lose.
