Your local flat earth society members can probably answer that for you.

Or you could just look up the facts... I mean it's not hard.

"Now, the way that worked was this. Harley Weyer, who worked for me, sat
down and figured what the trajectory would be and where the lunar rover
would be each second as it moved out, and what your settings would go to.
That picture you see was taken without looking at it [the liftoff] at all.
There was no watching it and doing anything with that picture. As the crew
counted down, that’s a [Apollo] 17 picture you see, as [Eugene] Cernan
counted down and he knew he had to park in the right place because I was
going to kill him, he didn’t — and Gene and I are good friends, he’ll tell
you that — I actually sent the first command at liftoff minus three seconds.
And each command was scripted, and all I was doing was looking at a clock,
sending commands. I was not looking at the television. I really didn’t see
it until it was over with and played back. Those were just pre-set commands
that were just punched out via time. That’s the way it was followed."
