Because, just like the moon landings, people will deny they exist at some point.

People still deny that the earth is round. Doesn't really matter about the demos going on. Question, do moon landing deniers deny everything due to space? like do they think that the current SpaceX stuff is all cgi? What about the space shuttle? Or is it literally just going to the moon that they don't believe in?

It varies. Those who claim Sun and Moon are tiny bodies spinning in flat circles only a few thousand miles above a flat Earth, possibly under a Firmament (basically, Sky Dome) have to deny most of astronomy and cosmology.

Funny thing is, I don't know if there are any Flat Earthers who refuse to use GPS positioning.

Well, it the hypothetical reality of the thermonuclear Olympic torch, it would be easier to secure the tickets for live viewing and witness the blast, than it would be to go high enough to see Earth in its real shape.

Current SpaceX hadn’t been to the Moon yet.

I was asking if they believe what SpaceX is doing with rockets is cgi. If they believe the space station is cgi, or the space shuttle, if they just made up the casualties in the Challenger and Columbia explosions? Do they believe in Project Gemini? Any of the Apollo launches? Is it just the landing on the moon piece?

I'm pretty sure that unless they witness it firsthand, the same people will deny it exists even with a live broadcast.
