I've never looked into the idea, but given that the model used by astrophysicists fits well in the basics with what I have observed first-hand, I'm willing to accept that in addition to the spherical nature of the planet, the heliocentric model works as well. In this case, you're right that I am breaking the original comment I made about "due diligence", but once a model agrees sufficiently with my direct experience in the basic stuff, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt unless I see obvious reasons for doubt, which in this case I don't. I am willing to devote only so much energy into projects like these.

As to going to the moon, that is a separate question entirely, and I fall very much into the camp that that didn't happen. We have not yet been there, and getting there is still apparently out of our reach.

Every story must stand on its own merits.
