I hope they go south of the Antarctic Circle at a time near the December solstice, and they observe that the Sun never sets.
It seems like that might be hard to explain for a flat Earth where other places are experiencing both night and day. But I wouldn't put it past them to come up with something, if they haven't already. I'm not going to bother looking it up because any 'explanation' would obviously be asinine.

Been watching this documentary, just this morning.
For comedy value.
I noticed someone mentioned Bill Nye. He's a TV presenter...nothing else...and DeGrasse Tyson is a government man (he's already slipped up about that).
ok, carry on...
(just off to get more popcorn)

Nothing else? Do you have a working instrument on an interplanetary probe? The surgeon general is also a ”government man”.
Not too impresssed with blanket criticism, and even more so when said comments are bullshit.

Has Nye or Tyson ever said anything inconsistent with evidence?

Oh noes! Not tha gubmint!? We all knows they’s ebil and usin’ science and shit to keep us confused and scared. Not coz we was all too dumb to pay attention in class. Noes, that ain’t it at all. We got smartz and we got tha internet and that internet is tha Truth. ‘Cept tha stuff with equations and shit. That’s all lies.
That credulity should be gross in proportion to the ignorance of the mind that it enslaves, is in strict consistency with the principle of human nature. - Percy Bysshe Shelley

You knew the whole southern hemiplane (sic) is a NASA hoax, right? No one actually lives in Australia.

A "debate" between a flat earther and a (Christian creationist) "astrophysicist".
The basic argument is
"It's a conspiracy. NASA is the government. They are lying"
Vs
"I know people at NASA who are good Christians who would never lie. And God would never deceive us"

Tonight I caught Al Murray the Pub Landlord taking about this on an old sketch. "Flat? It's not even level!"
