People had known the earth was not flat for centuries before Galileo's birth - much navigational technology had all based on that fact, and would not have worked otherwise. Galileo is more well known for providing observations and evidence that the sun, not the Earth, was the centre of the solar system - however the main proponent of this fact was Copernicus, a century previously.
What else can I help you with?
What did Galileo discover with his telescope?
Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter (later named the Galilean moons), mountains and craters on the moon, phases of Venus, and sunspots on the sun. These observations supported the heliocentric model of the solar system and challenged the geocentric view of the universe.
What discoveries did Galileo make to support Copernicus' ideas?
Through his observation Galileo watched the motions of the planets and the sun. Using triginometry and geometry, he flat out knew that the earth could not be a stationary body. He also knew that the Earth could not be the center of the universe. The math told him otherwise. This was in direction contridiction of church doctrine and more in line with the helocentric theory that Copernicus came up with. Also the phases of Venus that he observed could only be possible if the Earth and other planets revolved around the Sun.He also discovered 4 of Jupiter's moons. This showed that there were objects revolving around other planets and not everything revolved around the earth
How did Copernicus prove that the earth wasn't in the middle of the universe?
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).

The roundness of the Earth was proved by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC and further verified by just about every society which was not based in Christianity in subsequent centuries. Therefore, no space flight was necessary to confirm the roundness of the Earth.
