You know flat earthers who do this sort of stuff are at least sticking by their convictions.
They have full faith in a sort of warped logical positivism, and based on this they have a thesis that they wish to prove and they set out to do so. It is a very pure embrace of scientific principles.
There was one of them a while back who got up pretty far in some homemade device and subsequently abandoned flat earthism
I like this one where some guy took 48 flat earthers to Antarctica and made them see a midnight sun.
The participating flat Earthers all admitted that the midnight sun was a real phenomenon. The larger flat Earth community has largely rejected the results and accused the participants, including the flat Earthers, of having faked the expedition and of being part of a larger conspiracy to promote the spherical Earth model.
There’s an even better grift where they’ll pay for your food and lodging if you get a PhD first. I’m trying to pull a fast one on NASA and get on the ISS to avoid paying rent.
Alabama pastor Dean Odle suggested that Satan created a fireball to act as a false sun. Some flat Earthers accused Duffy of taking funds from his church to finance the expedition, which he has denied. Dominic Enyart, a friend of Duffy and a member of his congregation, said the accusations were baseless

You’re telling me I can grift my way to a free trip to Antarctica???

I didn’t know about that one, that’s funny as hell
