If the Earth is flat, why are NONE of the JILLIONS of other astronomical bodies flat ?

The Earth is flat? Now, that's just silly talk. On the other hand, NASA has known for decades that the Moon is actually a half-sphere. From the government's secret archives:

ive seen several of these and listening to the argument is similar to arguing with a lib... all I know is 2wice a year I got on a kiteboarding excursion somewhere on the planet, and when I fly out of Detroit, transfer flights in Newark, Dubai or some other mid east country, arrive in Thailand, Vietnam, or say the Philippines, and on returning transfer in Korea or China, and then to LAX or Chicago, back to Detroit, I never see the edge so it is a total waste of time and air, clicking into this bunk!! js...

The earth can't be flat or cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

(Old joke but still makes me smile.)

So Magellan’s ships did sail off the edge - all except the one that turned back (although they claimed they didn’t - obviously a coverup like the moon landings.)

And it certainly explains why I had to fly 3/4 of the way around the so called “globe” instead of what should have been the shorter way if the earth was a sphere.

The conspiracy is so large, every international airline pilot and trans-oceanic ship captain is in on it.

If the moon is strong enough to lift trillions of gallons of water, why cant it lift the hairs on head?
