From The Flat-out Truth: Earth Orbits? Moon Landings? A Fraud! Says This Prophet/The idea of a spinning globe is only a conspiracy of error that Moses, Columbus, and FDR all fought... by Robert J. Schadewald Science Digest July 1980

"The facts are simple," says Charles K. Johnson, president of the International Flat Earth Research Society. "The earth is flat." ...

"You can't orbit a flat earth," says Mr. Johnson. "The Space Shuttle is a joke--and a very ludicrous joke."
