The following article has NOTHING to do with Flat Earth theory but we want to make it about it because this Flat Earth dumb theory is starting to get a lot of steam lately. Wherever you go nowadays, on Youtube, on Facebook, everywhere you are starting to see more and more “100% proof, the Earth is flat” posts and videos. While only a few years ago there were only a couple of such posts now its getting mainstream and it deserves proper tackling and if this isn’t the best tackling then what is?

Flat Earthers, here’s your chance, buy a ticket and go to space to see for yourself with your flat eyes and process with your flat brain that the earth is round… or is it?? What if its flat and the truth hidden to us all by the US government and NASA???????? Ohhh the horror!

Flat Earthers are so mentally handicapped that they dont even know that USA’s NASA isn’t the the only agency that went into space. In fact Russia was the FIRST who went into space with Yuri Gagarin, not USA. WHY would Russia conspire WITH USA on this when Russia was and still is USA’s natural enemy? For fucks sake even China, India, IRAN and North Korea had numerous rockets sent into space. Please flat head retards, explain WHY would FUCKING IRAN “hide the truth that the Earth is flat”??? Can someone please throw those flat head retards in a cage and throw the key away on the charges of being too low IQ?? There’s plenty of conspiracy theories out there which may have some truth to them such as the Jewish control of the media and banking system for example, you don’t need to adhere to completely false conspiracy theories.

Well here’s your chance you flat heads, buy a ticket and go into space, prove to us that the earth is flat! Wanna bet how those flat heads will start inventing theories how Jeff Bezos didn’t want to sell tickets to them because they are “truthers” so that they won’t expose “the truth”?? :)) Hahahaha! Here’s a tip, don’t tell anyone you’re a “flat earther”, or maybe on the contrary go and tell them you are one. Surely he may offer you a space ride for free just to settle this nonsense with you guys.

So RT reported:

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will start selling passenger tickets for trips into space as early as next year, according to Blue Origin, the space-tourism startup owned by the billionaire.

The company expects its New Shepard suborbital vehicle to carry the first space tourists to orbit in 2019, according to Blue Origin Senior Vice President Rob Meyerson. The top manager hasn’t provided any details on ticket prices.

“We plan to start flying our first test passengers soon,” said Blue Origin senior vice president Rob Meyerson, as quoted by Space News. “We expect to start selling tickets in 2019.”

The announcement followed a video presentation of a previous New Shepard flight at the company’s West Texas test site. So far, all the test flights carried by the rocket have been without people on board with the firm pledging to fly company personnel on the vehicle in later tests.

The aerospace company, founded in 2000, is financed by 53-year-old Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The company is reportedly swiftly catching up with its rival – Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

However, there is still a significant gap between the companies’ capabilities. Rockets manufactured by SpaceX are currently capable of taking astronauts and cargos to the International Space Station (ISS), while Blue Origin’s New Shepard is still more like a rocket-powered observation deck.

New Shepard’s crew capsule was put on display last year after Blue Origin managed to conduct several un-crewed test flights to space and back. According to the company, the capsule is able to carry passengers to an altitude of more than 60km (37 miles) above the Earth, so they experience a few minutes of weightlessness as well as observe the curvature of the planet set against the blackness of space.

Apart from technologic rivalry, the Bezos-led firm also competes with Musk for SpaceX’s primary customers, such as NASA and the US Air Force. SpaceX has just won a $130 million contract to launch its AFSC-52 military satellite into orbit, beating the United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic subsidiary is Bezos’s other rival, albeit more direct. Virgin said it sold about 650 tickets for its fully commercial suborbital flights, which are now booked until at least 2021.

Space tourism has turned into a hot commodity over recent decades. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has entered the prospective business through funding Seattle-based Spaceflight, which is reportedly booking payloads on flights. The company has also brought up the capacity of a SpaceX rocket that can be shared by paying customers.
