It is impossible to get to Mars due to their being no gravity. Flat worlds do not produce gravity, only mass. With only mass, it is impossible to 'attract' a spacecraft to another planet. Mark my words. We won't get to Mars. Good luck China! ;) #MakeUThinkYazReply toMr Make U Think
@Crossx77 - You asked "Why have all these wacko's suddenly started appearing claiming the Earth is flat?" - It's the latest fad among the ignorant. For example, for quite some time on DM, these science articles were frequently visited by those pushing the Electric Universe theory, where they would appear in almost every article related to astronomy and cosmology. The message is essentially the same, which is we're all being lied to and hence we're all sheep for believing the scientists and/or governments :-) They see themselves as part of an elite group who have seen through the lies and therefore they alone know the truth. It's what we always see in people when their ignorance is matched only by their ego and therefore they have a desperate need to feel superior to others. Sad but true :-)
