One of America's most famous astronauts recently shared his thoughts on people who believe that the Earth is flat. During his illustrious career with NASA, Mike Massimino participated in two shuttle missions and performed a pair of spacewalks which lasted 14 hours in total. The accomplished astronaut has also become something of a media fixture in recent years, appearing on all manner of news programs and even played himself in a recurring role on the TV series Big Bang Theory.
As one can imagine, having spent a significant amount of time in space, Massimino is well aware of Flat Earth fans who insist that travel beyond our planet is an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the 'powers that be.' In a recent interview with the website LADbible. he was asked what he would tell people who subscribe to the controversial conspiracy theory. The retired astronaut initially demurred dealing with the issue, musing that he didn't have anything to say to them because "I don't understand them."
But Massimino didn't stop there. Find out what else he had to say about the curious conspiracy theory at the Coast to Coast AM website.
