Universe structure

[alexey]

Dear Hari, here is a question from russian forum.

Hello, dear Hari!
I would like to thank You for Your mission. You have been inspired me by lectures and Your life for 17 years. I try to go my own way and to learn from everybody and every situation I meet in life. Someday You wrote that it seems to You that You are useless. No, I need You and my friends from Vladivostok who have listened to Your lectures for 15 years need You.
Now I want to ask You about Your understanding about our physical world. About Earth.
I have read Bhagavatam, 5th song. I have seen CD by Sadaput (Richard Thomson) about our Universal structure. I travel a lot by plane. But I do not have a single meaning. The question is:
Is our Earth round or plane? And what is Your opinion about modern space programs?
Wish You happiness,
Damodar

I do not see ancient cosmology as a relevant description of reality and I like the exploration of space.
