My optimism was largely a product of my lifelong interest in space and science and my faith that they will always win out. Having said that, I also carried with me an optimism that it might not be so bad - there might be every possibility that the regular attendee would on average be more curious than conspiracist, and that maybe only a handful of people would turn up. I’m not ashamed to say I was also morbidly curious about the people who would be going - both to speak and listen. At the time, I was stunned by how there was even enough demand for it I thought the matter had been laid to rest quite confidently some millennia ago. I say it as an opening disclaimer because, a little under two and a half years ago, I attended ‘FECON’ (an event less scatological than it sounds), the UK’s first ever Flat Earth Conference, to take portraits of the people who would be there.
