Many consider Scott to be one of the most authoritative public voices for spaceflight commentary.

Pretty amazing work.
Can't help but wonder what flat earthers think when they see footage like this... all fish-eye lens tricks I suppose.

It's my belief that there aren't any 'true' flat earthers. Just a small group of ppl who enjoy extending and defending a nonsense idea to absurd lengths, and, of course, winding others up while doing so. IOW, I think it's all an 'in on the joke' thing.
Terry Pratchett does something similar of course in his DiscWorld series. I wonder why ppl can enjoy it in that context but get annoyed with ppl doing it outside of a story book? It's not like anyone gets harmed by ppl arguing (in my opinion, playfully but with a straight face) for a flat earth.
The fish-eye lens argument that you reference for example is plainly ridiculous, but also mildly amusing.
