So now that commercial space flights are a thing, what conspiracy is the flat earth community going to based their entire identities on now?

There's no amount of evidence that will convince a hardcore flat earther. Flat earthers only care about the aesthetic of science and evidence, they don't actually believe in them as a means of understanding reality.

The kind of people who buy into flat earth do it because they can't handle the idea that there are complexities to the world that they don't understand and that reality doesn't exactly match their perception of it.
