... comes out this screwed up:

Space travel? It's bunk, some say

Justin Harvey was driving through Orlando on Tuesday when he saw a rocket ship in the sky, leaving a trail of billowing white smoke on its way high above the heavens.

He didn't bother to check the news afterward because he figured the Falcon Heavy rocket, launched by SpaceX and now considered the world's most powerful operational spaceship, probably wound up in the Atlantic Ocean.

'When I saw it, I was ready to laugh,' he said. 'Space travel is pretty much a hoax.' The 30-year-old University of Central Florida alumnus is a Flat Earth conspiracy theorist, or a Flat Earther, and he doesn't believe that NASA has ever been into space, or that its archive of photographic evidence showing the Earth's spherical shape is anything but Photoshopped propaganda.

...

And on Feb. 17, Harvey, who works as an Uber and Lyft driver, will give a lecture at the Meeting of the Minds in Miami. Despite majoring in business and real estate at UCF, Harvey has gained some influence in the Flat Earth sphere.

...

'They have an explanation for a lot of this stuff,' Harvey said. 'It's a lot of blah, blah, big words. We're told you live on a ball and you can't leave unless you're an astronaut.' Harvey and Main, 49, said they used to believe in mainstream astrophysics, but that changed about two years ago when they were challenged online.

A Lyft and Uber driver? He must have a PhD from UCF.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
