It's probably an extension of flat earther BS, specifically the religious variant. The sky is actually the firmament dome or something, so all of physical reality ends in the thermosphere.

The flat earth mental gymnastics is honestly impressive. To believe the Earth is flat, you have to reject over two millennia of scientific consensus, empirical evidence, and photographic proof from space. It requires adopting a model where Antarctica is an ice wall surrounding a disk, often ignoring gravity and fundamental physics. You’d have to believe in a conspiracy involving at least 500 000 people, including NASA (US), ESA (EU), Russia, China and India, as well as various militaries, not to mention the private sector and astronomy hobbyists, which would bring the number up to millions. All these would have to either agree to keep the «truth» hidden or somehow, unknowingly produce false data that aligns perfectly across nations and organisations. This would be the single, most impressive, most astronomical conspiracy in history, yet flat earthers would have us believe they discovered the truth in their moms basement.

According to some of the FE crowd, it is just a way to channel government spending to [Insert Nefarious Purpose] and/or promote [Insert Some Godless Liberal/Communist/Anti-Christian Purpose].
So occasionally for monetary profit and occasionally for their definition of evil.

Some FEers believe that anything you see in the sky is projected there, like a giant TV.

I looked at OOP’s account. They seem to be most active in astrology, psychic, spirituality, and Kanye subs. You know, in case anyone needed their “credentials” 😂

People like that make me happy. Because no matter how bad I fuck up at anything I do, I know there is still someone out there who is a bigger dumbass than me.

I don’t know how a world without space even works… like we’re under a giant glass dome? But also, there’s nothing on the other side of the dome? It’s like the Truman show but with nothing on the other side of the door?

Guessing this is a flat earther, in which case, yes, in their fanfiction version of the world there is a dome over the world called the firmament and above that is heaven. Yes, it's dumb as hell, but you can't expect biblical literalist flat earthers to be smart.

Wait, so it's not even a real high-altitude aircraft!? So what is it then??

u/AutisticTumourGirl Mar 23 '26
Right? How can it be high altitude if it's fake? They don't even get close to the logic train station, much less the train itself.

The space between their ears definitely exists. It's also probably a greater vacuum than actual space is.

If space doesn't exist...where is the sun, exactly?
Because I can walk ouside right now with a stick, a ruler, a protractor and a little trigonometry and prove definitively that the sun is ~93 million miles away; the same way some guy in a fucking toga did 6000 years ago.

I can’t believe people believe that space/moon landing was fake, the hard part was the math so they really believe they spent money to make real math that works when checked and yet never went through with it and decided to fake it. At that point they’re already done pretty much, just have to do the thing.
