I'm sure they're right about a lot of things! Water is wet, for instance. The moon waxes and wanes. That sort of thing. If you want to photograph a wide field of view, you use a fisheye lens. Humanity hasn't spent a lot of time far enough from Earth that it doesn't fill a wide field of view, although we do have some rather nice photographs from both humans and machines which have made it out that far.
