I'd find the idea of uncharted lands only a plane flight away irresistible.
questionThere is no way that an unexplored continent that is a relatively easy plane flight away would be left alone.
That sounds inexpensive and fruitful.
"Hi, Chilean Air Rentals? Yes, I'd like to lease a plane... To fly past the south pole... Si... A licence? No problemo... Oh, sure. A large deposit? Por supuesto... No, no. Actually, I want to fly past Antarctica and discover new land. Si, nueva tierra ... Hello? Hello? .... We must have gotten disconnected "
If humanity gave up every challenge because they had to fill out some extra paperwork, where would we be? Sounds like a pretty bad excuse to me.
People spend years training and saving to climb mountains a thousand other people already scaled. Humans do all kinds of hard, expensive things.
Most humans are intensely curious, I don't know why Flat Earther's aren't. I can assure you that if I thought taking a 6,000 mile flight was all it took to discover a completely new world, I'd be doing it. I take trips that long several times a year.
Again, I can't fathom why someone would think actually exploring this endless expanse of pristine land would be pointless.
How much money could the FE movement raise? Far more than enough if they wanted. You can afford $20k gyros after all.
