When I first went to work at NASA in Houston in the late 1960's, they had a
chapter of the Flat Earth Society that met near NASA and had quite a few
members that worked at the Johnson Space Center. I attended a meeting and was
treated to some of their favorite theories about why the earth is flat. They
had some compelling arguements, and were very vocal, especially for folks who
controlled spacecraft in orbit.

Don't let your paradigms blind you to new information. Don't let your emotions
take over logic. It's a delicate balance!
