In April of 1972, the booster drifted off and was never seen again, unable to transmit tracking data and reveal its whereabouts because of a malfunction.

A few religious crackpots who happened to write history were the only people who thought the earth was flat. IMO - The ancient Egyptian certainly knew the Earth was a sphere - the Phoenicians, Sumerians - all of them

The site was identified by Jeff Plescia, a scientist from Johns Hopkins University, and expert in finding objects that have been lost in space.

Even the prophet Isaiah knew that the earth was a globe, thousands of years ago.
Isaiah 40:22
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Science is reality. In the beginning there was nothing, ...which exploded.

Infinity has no beginning and no end.
That is reality.

It’s just a bit more complicated than we can comprehend with just a couple thousand years of history compared to infinity.

Infinity has no beginning and no end. Do you remember that old joke about the Cray? It came out of an infinite loop in five minutes.
