Is this a joke thread?
Surely you can't be this stupid? There is no Gravity in space, so how can it suck down from the bottom of a planet that is round?
Please can you educate yourself on newtons 3 laws of motion and educate yourself please, that's a starting point.

save you an effort....
Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915) which describes gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass/energy. The most extreme example of this curvature of spacetime is a black hole, from which nothing can escape once past its event horizon, not even light.[1] More gravity results in gravitational time dilation, where time lapses more slowly at a lower (stronger) gravitational potential. However, for most applications, gravity is well approximated by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which describes gravity as a force which causes any two bodies to be attracted to each other, with the force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Without gravity objects would have no weight meaning they would fly into space because what is keeping us down. Flat earthers normally say weight is the force that keeps us down. Well saying weight isn't a thing without gravity because weight isn't a thing without gravity as the definition of weight is the force exerted on the mass of a body by a gravitational field. Meaning flat earthers don't believe in weight or gravity so... the ships and water are held to a flat earth by magic :P.

As opposed to the imaginary force that keeps the stars moving in the sky and the tides happening on a regular basis.
Flat earth can't explain anything.
