Flat Earth theory turns into Memefest after NASA SpaceX shows Earth's spherical shape

NASA scratched yet another mark in the history of humankind with the launch of Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon crew capsule. While a stunning video made rounds of social media, the footage showed that Earth is spherical in shape and not flat, much to the dismay of people who believe that the Earth is flat. They also became a subject of many memes shared on Twitter after this footage was released.

Reportedly, there were theories about the SpaceX launch from the Flat Earthers community and how it is possibly fake. The theory shared states that Earth is a globe because the images are photoshopped to make it look like a globe. They also asked if anyone has tried to prove the globe independently and that there is no evidence of a globe. 

There is yet another user of Twitter who is not ready to believe in the videos were reportedly shared by NASA or SpaceX of the spherical earth. The user talked about how they are surrounded by a bright white set and the layering animation show in the video is awfully done. The user also claimed that it looked like a 1999 computer game and is not real. 

The Flat Earthers recently suffered a loss in the form of Michael Hughes, who was also called 'Mad Mike'. Michael had made a rocket at home. When he went for the launch in February, he crashed in the Californian desert and passed away. Hughes is known to be one of the most well-known flat earth theorists and also was allegedly trying to prove that the earth was flat through his homemade rocket.
