Here's an interesting theory from the flat-earthers:
THE WORLD IS ROUND - It isn't I'm afraid. It's flat. But it's not static, the land is constantly moving across it like a supermarket conveyer belt. Hence we get night and day, night is when the belt is on the underside of the Earth. This also explains why some long-haul flights take less time on the way back than the way there or vice versa. Planes are either going the opposite way to the direction of travel of the belt, or trying to accelerate in the same direction, which takes longer.
It's an excerpt from an article by Dean Burnett, who by the way hails from Wales and is a neuroscientist to boot, so he obviously has a high IQ and should be believed. All evidence points to his not being raised by a single mom, so there's that too.

I had been following closely as the space program gradually progressed during the 1960s, searching the newspapers every day for information. I became especially interested during the Gemini missions, and being a child at the time I was very excited about it. However, I felt they wouldn't be able to do it after the tragic fire in early 1967 that killed the three Apollo astronauts. A Russian cosmonaut died in a crash that same year.
But I was amazed in December 1968 when Lovell and his crew went around the moon and back, then I knew it would be possible by the end of 1969 as JFK had promised.
