"""
In the years following Kaysing’s death, Italian conspiracist writer 
Albino Galuppini created the Bill Kaysing Tribute Website. This website 
was described as being “designed to pay tribute to a distinguished 
writer who lived his ideals and spoke his mind honestly and openly” and 
contained many personal photos provided by Kaysing’s relatives and 
tributes written by his followers. Including Bart Sibrel, David Percy 
and Jarrah White.

But from 2013 onward, Galuppini started publishing blog articles 
propagating false claims about the Earth being flat and all space travel 
being faked. Many of these articles misappropriated Kaysing’s moon hoax 
views to promote Galuppini’s Flat Earth claims. Despite Kaysing 
specifically theorizing that the astronauts orbited the Earth instead of 
going to the Moon, Galuppini falsely claimed that Kaysing denied any 
rocket could travel fast enough to get into orbit. This led to Kaysing’s 
relatives and followers publicly withdrawing their endorsement from the 
Bill Kaysing Tribute Website, severing their ties with Galuppini, and no 
longer allowing him permission to use their content.

Wendy Kaysing stated "I cannot imagine my father ever saying that we 
could not do space travel. That’s ludicrous! That’s ridiculous! […] 
Anybody who says that about my father is just trying to discredit my 
father’s ability to even think" and requested that Galuppini cease and 
desist the “sale of books, articles, or publication of websites, blogs 
or public messages” that use her father’s work. But Galuppini ignored 
her demands and continued the public façade of being a trusted friend of 
Kaysing’s family and supporters.[17][18] Jarrah White, a former 
contributor to the website, stated that Kaysing's legacy had essentially 
been "hijacked" and spoke harshly of Galuppini's Flat Earth nonsense and 
misappropriation in Popular Mechanics: "If you think the Earth is flat, 
then I don't consider you a serious researcher. I think you are a 
kindergarten dropout. Serious hoax researchers, they base their evidence 
on scientific and photographic anomalies and go where the evidence takes 
them. Flat-Earthers preemptively deny space travel in general because 
any photos of the Earth from space contradict their religion."
