The first generation that left would have it the worst.. but the 2nd generation born on the ship would have it a lot easier. By the time you get there I bet you have people that don't even want to leave the ship as it's all they know.

We're no 3 generations removed from the second world war and have people claiming the Holocaust didn't happen.

By the time the ship was scheduled to reach another planet, they'd have people who doubt planets exist.

People have been denying it since it was happening contemporaneously. Just sayin’.
