In any setting, it’s only logical that there’d be individuals who question fundamental aspects of the world. In Canon Equestria, they’re wrong, but still.

Kind of the point is that they’re in the process of developing the rocket ships. Honestly, some parts of the FiM world, like Manehatten, appear to be reasonably close to our own society in tech level… I’d say somewhere around the mid 1900s, give or take a few decades because “technology levels” aren’t exact. They have electricity, most notably.

I haven’t actually seen a whole lot of stuff in this series that’s beyond FiM’s tech… FiM being kind of all over the place as it is.
maybe they are implying that it’s totally feasible and not weird at all for one pony to move the moon and one pony to move the sun, but one pony couldn’t possibly move both.
who even believes all those old mare’s tales, that princess luna was once long ago imprisoned on the moon for a thousand years?
I don’t think anybody’s considered that maybe these two weren’t ALIVE during the events of MLP:FiM, as this world seems far more technologically advanced that what we’ve seen before.
Of course, they might just see the folklore confirmed, or maybe this is an alternate universe where Celestia and Luna don’t really control the sun and moon. …While pegasi continue to fly and unicorns continue to move things around with their horns.
Everytime I see ponies used like this in their own world I can’t help but think, realistically based on how we have seen their world function, ponies like them would be the rough equivalent of Flat-Earther’s on our world. There really isn’t any reason for them to doubt the Princesses claims considering there are creatures in their world that blatantly violate the laws of physics to exist. Plus magic is a thing that can also do the seemingly impossible, by our worlds standards anyway. That’s just counting the “normal” magical stuff. Add in creatures that feed off emotions and aren’t exactly physical along with being able to travel through dreams, not believing that the Sun and Moon are moved rather than the world moving seems rather arbitrary.
I will be happy if, after a series of aerospace adventures, the protagonists find that the facts determine that they were in error, and correct their beliefs. That is to say, if the protagonists act like actual skeptics and not caricatures thereof.

Rocket ships, TV sets and personal computers seem a little too advanced for our Equestria.

Better yet have they not seen Discord? Are you telling me they could explain away his Chaos?
Ahh, thank you for clarification. :)
Bigger and with proper previous/next links in the description.
delta vee's junkyardcomic being ed?those are just fairy tales.

Well how about this moment? Ponies were awake at that time.
