Charles Kenneth Johnson (July 24, 1924, San Angelo, Texas - March 19, 2001, Lancaster, California) was, from 1972 until his death, the president and energetic promoter of the International Flat Earth Society, which he and his wife ran from their home in California. He claimed the Apollo moon landings, and space exploration in general, were faked to lead people away from the truth of the Bible, which he said taught the Earth was flat. He had a large following of people, with members all over the world. All of his records of membership were sadly lost in a fire. He now has a increasingly large group of believers, who are college students at Northern Arizona University. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
