SpaceX's uncrewed Starship explodes during test flight

A test flight for SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket ended with a high-altitude explosion just minutes after takeoff. While things did not go as planned, both NASA and SpaceX are touting it as a success. NBC’s Tom Costello reports for TODAY.

The idea that the Earth is flat has been thoroughly debunked by centuries of scientific observation and experimentation. Here are a few key points that disprove the flat Earth theory:

The Earth's shape: The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. This shape has been confirmed by a variety of methods, including satellite imagery, photos from space, and measurements of the Earth's curvature.
Gravity: Gravity is the force that keeps objects on the Earth's surface and causes the Earth to orbit the sun. Gravity is consistent with a spherical Earth, but does not work in the same way if the Earth is flat.
Horizon: If the Earth were flat, the horizon would be a straight line, no matter how far away an observer is from it. However, in reality, the horizon appears curved when viewed from a high altitude, such as from an airplane.
Shadow of the Earth: During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a curved shadow on the Moon. The shape of this shadow is consistent with a spherical Earth, but would not be possible if the Earth were flat.
Overall, the flat Earth theory lacks scientific evidence and is inconsistent with observations of the Earth and the laws of physics.

The flat earth theory was disproved two thousand years ago by the ancient Greeks1. Since then, scientists have discovered an abundance of evidence to confirm that the Earth is a sphere2. Claims that the Earth is flat continue to circulate, but they are easily refuted3. For example, if the Earth was flat, both sticks would’ve cast the same shadow since they would’ve been at the same angle to the sun. However, the shadows varied because the Earth is a sphere1.
