For less than a couple thousand dollars you could send a balloon up to prove its flat. I’m very open to other ideas but this is the biggest thing for me. If it’s flat and/or all some kind of an illusion, send up a balloon and show everyone
Unless your like that one guy, who decides he wants to build his own rocket to check.
But yeah, you can get a high altitude balloon for like a thousand dollars last time I checked.

With another thousand and lots of time to dedicate, you could likely build a little cube sat as well.

But no, that one dude chooses to build a home made rocket.
