We know the world is flat. If it were round, when I drop a ball it would roll all the way around the earth. But it does not, proving that the world is flat. Just like a map.

QED.

A little truth to that huh?

Unless cats are leading us on about this.

Modern flat Earth societies >>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_flat_Earth_societies

It seems cruel to give people like this coverage because it demonstrates a horrifying mix of stupidity and paranoia that most people would want to conceal from the world. These people are not well.

He'll get a posthumous Darwin's Award...and stop being a waste of air and space!!!

Win-win!!!

Death has removed the "winners" from the gene pool.

Tru dat

That will take him up to 35,000 feet in relative comfort (moreso if he buys a business class seat). That's more than 17 times higher than his puny rocket will go. He could also fly in a helium balloon that would get him to over 100,000 feet.

There is a network of hidden highways that connect all the airports. As you roll on them in the airplane, they project pictures on the windows to make it look like you are flying.

I kid you not!

Don't even get me started on the Freemason controlled hot air balloon industry.

on that bottle rocket. All he's likely to prove is that he can be flattened.

It is likely financed by some of the RWNJ's that support tRump.

I know his head is flat!

I is truly mind boggling the power of the human mind to delude itself in the face of facts.

I will venture to say that this delusion will take care of itself, part of Darwinism and thinning out the herd.

Cheaper and safer to climb on an airplane and take pictures from the window.

1,800 feet?

Fucking amateur.

Oh wait...

LOL

It just shows you just how how the tentacles of the sinister Geosphericist conspiracy have had us in their clutches in so many ways and for centuries!

They account for the curvature of the earth and the direction of the shot. You would think that would figure into the thought process, the correlation between flat earthers, conservatives and gun worship is high.

Because this guy has one in the bag.

But, hey, Darwin...

just like the models I had as a kid.

Thoughts and Prayers.

Since he's basically just strapping himself to a bomb.

putting his money where his mouth is. Dumb as a rock though.

a fizzle of the rocket motor, which would make him look no sillier than he is today, and he will have become one of the leading spokespersons for the concept of flat-earth. This will cause other nutcases to toss money at him if he can only set up a website...

Oh, looked at the picture again, and he's got that nailed down!

I predict he boils himself

>>Assuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.


Anyone else think that einstein here may be a little short on the scientific method? Not a good thing for building a home-made rocket.

Oh yeah...when he lands - assuming he isn't a grease spot on the desert floor after he does - he's announcing his candidacy for California governor.

My wish for Mr. Hughes - I hope he launches himself into orbit and his last view is that of the SPHERICAL Earth!

Lets fund this idiot through escape velocity and maximum dynamic pressure as he transitions to trans-sonic flight.

Hell, lets give him a couple of engineers to orchestrate a roll program even.

And then we'll wait for re-entry from LEO.

I'd fund that just to watch it through my Schmidt.

Kick for exposure!

He has articles about his latest jump in newspapers worldwide, not to mention the massive online buzz. This all has to do wonders for the pay-per-view sales.

Getting these flat-earthers to sponsor his latest jump was a stroke of genius on his part. How many people had even heard of his previous jumps?

I suspect Mike believes in a flat earth less than NASCAR drivers believe in Marlboro or STP or any other sponsor.

But serial, if he wanted to impress us roundies, he should exhibit some more of his scientific method.

Maybe using an alternate ignition sequence...
