This week, in a stunning surprise announcement, billionaires Elon and the virgin Branson officially launched pre-sale ticket bookings for what they describe as the "experience of a lifetime. Showcasing "THE VENTURER - a daring electric "Titanic-esque" cruise, designed to take those willing to fork out a jaw-dropping $1 million per person, on the journey to witness and explore firsthand - the edge of the earth.
While many have celebrated this unprecedented adventure, the flat-earth deniers remain fiercely divided. Some, like podcast host Joe Rogan, support the journey, stating, "It’s necessary to prove to people that the earth is round, and not flat." Others see the venture as nothing more than a colossal waste of resources, a scam, and a money grab, with doubts about whether the trip will even happen. "Who pays for a 'return trip' when a safe return isn't guaranteed?" one enraged round-earth activist questioned.
With ticket sales open and speculation growing, one thing is certain—this voyage has ignited a new wave of debate. Will it prove or disprove the theories of flat-earthers, or will it simply line the pockets of the rich? Only time, and the edge of the earth, will reveal the truth.
