you can't fake a moon landing.
What if someone actually does land on the moon and it's nothing like what you said it was. You would look so stupid, all the other countries would make fun of you. Besides, superman went to the moon in superman 2 and the flag we planted was still there. How do you fake that? |

Better logic and easier than explaining all the science behind it. |

Yep, it looks like a map, and what exactly is the big conspiracy here that you're driving at? That not every map represents the true scale of a country? What are you getting at? There's no lie if you understand the specific purpose or intent of various maps.
Show me a map where Canada lies along the border of Iran and I'll say yep, that's a blatant lie. Great Britain is almost 4 times larger than it should be. You'll find that it is oversized on almost all maps. You'll note it's position on most global maps as well. All very interesting if you stop to think about it.

It would stink if you fell off the edge of a Flat Earth.

There is a little scale at the bottom. It is on the National Geographic website, however it is incorrect.

Obviously this society must be afraid of heights as well. Climb any tall structure and you'll see the curvature of the earth. Heck climb a mountain even. How prey tell do they explain the rotation of the earth and the seasons? If they think no one has ever been to space they honestly believe that that gravity is a hoax and you can't escape the atmosphere of said "flat earth'. Have they never seen a plane or flown anywhere. I know that when I was a child I thought that in someplaces the world just ended. Well if felt that way anyway.

Also, the problem with the Mercator projection is that it inflates the size of countries given their distance from the equator, which makes places like Greenland look gigantic compared to Africa, which is more than ten times Greenland's size.

It certainly would have been cheaper to fake the landing, but far more difficult to convince anyone. Plus a fake landing wouldn't guarantee that others would give up hope of going there. Winning the space race didn't help win the cold war. It was just an objective to inspire people to put faith in US technology and science.
