Actually , In space, radiation has nothing to dispurse itself into , and thus can travel millions of miles. Also, if the sun is so close, why isn't earth sucked into it's gravity? At that distance any orbital speed would cause an escape from it's pull, but would need to be hundreds or maybe Thousands of miles per second , so earth would likely just fall into the sun.
The mass of the sun also accounts for how we can feel it's heat so far away. A fireplace will generate more heat than a candle. If you apply this to the SUN, it makes sense.
The earth isn't flat. You can obviously see curviture of our planet as you climb higher. From amateur rockets, to the great Saturn V that brought men to the moon.
Also, (i know this will come up) it was IMPOSSIBLE and would be MORE EXPENSIVE to fake a moon landing in 1960's/70's.
