I forget the exact verse, and I’m sure someone can recall it, but what of the ones where Jesus is tempted by Satan? Scratch takes Him to the top of a mountain where they can see all of the world.
It is NOT possible to see all of a round Earth from the summit of one of its mountains, no matter how tall it is. It IS possible to do so if the Earth is flat.
The Earth is not flat. That verse in the Bible is in error.

That would be Matthew 4:8, jab: “Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them.” Just like you said.

Thank you, Firefly.
Let us return now to the OP. I think what could’ve happened here is that someone, perhaps an atheist, definitely a practical joker, got tired of listening to Harold Hill go on about the glory of God and perhaps concocted that NASA story as a joke and to see how gullible Hill was.
Pretty darn gullible, it turns out. Wish I’d thought of it.

Some people have a closed mind.
Mine has a filter.
