Flat Earther to Launch Rocket Proving Earth is not Round

He gets two points for actually climbing in that rocket and launch ..!

 

Yes! but 1800 ft is far too low to prove that the earth is flat like a frisbee...for Pete's sake , there are mountains far higher in California...seems like a whole lot of wasted effort that would prove nothing.. Dude, get on an airliner, international flights go much higher than that, and the curvature of the Earth is just discernible form that altitude..and it probably cost less than building a junky steam powered rocket that pops one up only a bit higher than the Freedom tower..

Moron..

 

In other news, Trump has offered "Mad Mike" a senior role in NASA

 

Shush you will give them ideas.

 

I blame Terry Pratchett

 

Where's my kaboom? I wanted an Earth-shattering rocket-exploding kaboom!

 

OK video........



Goodness me he's mad alright.

Next he wants to launch a rockoon.

This isn't so much about proving the Earth is flat then about getting suckers to fund your hobby

 

You think that's it? He really just wanted to shoot himself up in a rocket for kicks and the whole flat earth thing was a scam?

 

Not a scam but a nice way to get his rocketry funded.

 

and a bit of a money maker in the process?

 

Smarter than he looks.

Or is he?

Pressure-feds...so simple even (pretend) flat-earthers can make them.

The sad thing--I'd still rather ride his rocket as anything Rutan ever made...

 

A question to Flat Earthers.

If they pose that the Earth is flat then why is there a curved shadow on the Moon sometimes?

Wouldn't a flat Earth create a straight line at the edge of the shadow seeing as how light would not curve around a flat object in circular shape?

 

Good point must be the conspiracy changing the shadow

 

I think we're wasting our breath. If the fact that anyone with a few thousand bucks can circumnavigate the globe over the course of a weekend doesn't prove the earth is round, I'm not sure anything can.

 

Just out of curiosity, do we have any actual flat earthers here?

 

That would be most fascinating.

 

I wonder if there is money to be made in a expedition to the center of the earth, must be eaiser to go down that up right, who would like to fund me, i will prove the earth is hollow, say a 10 million goal and i will bring back some hollow earth air as proof.

 

Let's do this... Did you know there are Hollow Earthers too as well as Flath Earthers, and I bet they'd chip in money for an expedition. We need a giant drill thing with Victorian wood paneling inside and lots of dials and switches.

 

^^You had me at Victorian wood paneling inside and lots of dials and switches, and we will requires 4000 miles of rope and some walking sticks and oil lamps for the journey back, so i don't see how this can possibly fail, ok somebody go start the funding, i will start unknotting this 4000 miles of rope.

 

I hear the core is filled with beautiful, glorious, golden caramel corn.
