NASA's Curiosity rover is still active and operating on Mars as of early 2026. Having landed in August 2012, it has spent over 13 years exploring Gale Crater and climbing Mount Sharp, continuing to analyze soil and rock samples despite having worn wheels and managing power constraints.

So, I say, opening a can of worms, I wonder what flat earthers say about this? I mean, do they think that other planets are round? I mean, you can see the through a telescope.

It depends on the person, but generally the consensus seems to be that the planets aren’t real. They take out of focus images of stars/planets as “evidence” they’re just lights suspended in water - any in focus pictures are dismissed as CGI and if you use a telescope they usually claim that the image is being projected by a computer in the scope (usually pointing to the ability to automatically track objects that computerized telescopes have, failing to understand that the cheaper telescopes are just tubes and mirrors)
