Smart enough to build a rocket, launch himself inside of it, and return to ground without dying. Believes the Earth is flat, and uncertain on balloon technology.
Lol double standards
He clearly hasn’t watched any of your videos
I'm surprised no one made a stupid comment about you two having the same hair color yet. Looks like you're getting off easy today!
Zantic Trant they make controversy, which puts them on the news and that brings more people in and generates money
Zantic Trant oh my bad
“Earth is flat”- Mike
“Mike is flat” - Earth
Hehehe
@kote jebe foresee* and prophecy*
LMAO I LAUGHED WAY TOO HARD
Loooool
Yooo.... he died yesterday 😐😐😐
The really amazing part of this is that he only got about 1800 feet up, which is nothing compared to a small plane he could have chartered for a few hundred bucks, with more safety, and at least more than one second to look out the window. The man is really insane.
He's probably so paranoid thay he thinks every single airplane capable of flying high enough to prove hik right has CGI screens on the "windows".
@@The_Devil_Himself he’s dead now
@@tomeast0 after his death, his PR said he didn’t believe it, only used that as a way to get funding for his rockets.
@@staticklingon2182 Lol nice
I’m pretty sure this guy was on Tosh.O where he basically admitted he didn’t really believe any of this stuff, he just really wanted to build and launch his own rocket.
I mean he built his own rocket. I still have a table set in a box 2 years later I can't put together. He was willing to go see for himself. So I respect it
you know he died doing this right?
don't respect stupidity
There should be a reality tv show for flat earthers to try to find the edge of the earth. I would so pay to watch that
America’s got talent comes close
They can't. No one is allowed past the the north/south poles. A tready was signed by most of the countries stating that no one can go there. So they'd be stopped.
They could call it Finding Edge or something :p
LeadPencil, take the time to read the treaty and I think you'll find it a bit different than what's being spewed out here on YT. Like article 2 that states that freedom of scientific investigation is all good and allowed.
I'm not entirely sure about the north pole, but anyone is allowed to freely visit antarctica. The treaty just makes it so that no countries are able to claim it as their own land. There is nothing to stop you from going.
Or you could have launched a camera instead
Update 4 months later: He died
Llamasox Schwartz right
robrob637 Facts
People send cameras up as high as they will go 3 times a week., Its all over YT. Literally video after video showing the roundy earth.. I cant understand what happened to these people?.. How do they explain volcanos?
They will think it’s photoshop and NASA stole their camera and rigged it
Yep thats what me and my freinds (aerospace engineers) did back in 2013, sent it near the karman line, unsure of its altitude tho, prolly around 23 km or 27 km, but curvature was present. I dont care about this flat earthers really as their claim makes no sense for me who has launched a rocket and right now works at space x and has seen live launches in the controll room.
This man is a legend. Flat or not he has the grit and determination to find out for himself!!
couldn't he just buy a weather balloon?
Agreed
There are a thousand ways in which you can find out the earth is round. None of which involve risking your life.
I'm not seeing where the legend is. Launching a rocket up into space when it's been done literally a million times at this point both man and unmanned doesn't prove anything. I wouldn't exactly call it legend but I would call it talented that he can build his own rocket.
Rip buddy
The thing is his hobby was launching homemade rocket even before flat earth got popular and he use flat earth as a line to get flat earthers to donate money to him so he can continue his hobby
Chiken where did you know this? I'm
curious.
@@drakelawrenceejurango5326 his history of post. He started to post about launching rocket way before flat earth became popular
@@chickenpuddingstudio4730 doesn’t mean he’s isn’t a crazy flat earther nut job
Atleast he did more than read a single Facebook thread, and actually tried to find out himself.
@Name Name so you think all the surveyors, engineers, and architects of the world are in on it?
lol he wasnt a flat earther he just wanted to get some funding for his rocket flights
Yes, and that is how it should be done, through actual experiments, even if it costs him his life. RIP.
Facts. He was a true truth seeker
Jesus. You really just said that.
He could have just launched a camera, but no, he had to risk his life for a yes/no answer.
AdemolaVictorTv
Most cameras don't make it to 36.000 feet, just gopros or black and white cameras that can.
But he has enough money to make a rocket but not a gopro
How smart!
That one dude
And risking your life? No dude!
Great Value Bleach
That's why he will risk his life because hes blood probably boil and the landing will be harder
Naah, he would've ended up blaming the camera lens for showing him the curvature...
Well at least some people have things they are willing to die for. You should stay inside, the world is too big and scary for you.
He's better at engineering than science, or even common sense.
it's funny because i used to work tech support at an engineering company where the employees legit didn't know the difference between a desktop and a browser.
@@env0x time for me to leave the social media
Common sense should tell you the Earth is flat.
@catshavesouls considering most people would say the earth isn't flat then "COMMON sense" would say the earth isn't flat
And let's say everyone on earth died and flat earthers are the only ones left, what would common sense be? I've seen so many conflicting answers to the question "what's at the edge?" alone.
@@memeslife-wq2tx you are one of these that just likes to argue. Useless endeavor. Did you have a question or do you just want to keep wasting both our time?
I refuse to believe this guy thinks the earth is flat. He is just a rocketry enthusiast who is trolling everyone.
It is flat stationary and sealed . Its not rocket science. Tv= lies .
From all that money he could have just sent a GoPro to space....

Been done. There is nothing like seeing it for yourself while asphyxiating and freezing to death
@@anthonysach good point
The flat earthers would just say that nasa hacked the go pro and implanted images....
@@hayes4763 Exactly. And if this guy in the rocket came back and said, "the earth is actually a globe" flat earthers would just say the government got to him and hes now a traitor.
He generated 11 million dollars from his views, subscribers, and sponsors. You guys just dont get it do you? He did the rocket stunt to get the funds, And it obvious it worked hook line and sinker.
The only thing flat here was his brain.
Lol I wasn't inspecting you to be here. (Yes, I've been ur subscribers for more than 3years)
YTSunny dude you're everywhere. Good to see ya
He did built a rocket, that’s fascinating.
YTSunny so is your content, mate
your moms flat
The funny thing is he didn't actually believe the earth was flat, it was a P.R stunt. He admitted it himself in an interview he really just wanted to launch himself in a rocket for fun
Hmm
@@dagdbot83 deadass dude
@@kingwarking1295 I swear, that was meant for my friend in messenger but it didn't delete lol. Also this sounds even sadder if this was true
5 seconds in I go straight to the comments where the real action is 😂
Why is he trying to fly UP into space? Can’t he just get a plane and fly over the edge INTO space???
Underrated
He would run into the giant ice wall surrounding the edge and the government would shoot him down for getting too close.
For the surprising amount of people who can't seem to understand sarcasm: I am not a flat earther. The earth is a globe, and there is no ice wall.
UltimateMustacheX true
@@UltimateMustacheX You mean THE WALL, oh I know Jon Snow he will let him pass the wall
Hes a flat earther, there are no rules.
Lol imagine how disappointed he would be if he actually made it into space
New explanation...God heard the globe earthers and decided to create the so called space and the supposed planets
Greatest Joke
No if he actually made it and saw earth for what it is he’d be like. “THE CIA MINDCONTROLED ME AND SHOWED ME A FAKE EARTH”
God, imagine being DISAPPOINTED that you made it to space and saw the curvature of the earth.
Yeah, what he said is not what you said. Kraaken is saying imagine putting in all that work, succeeding despite all odds, and still feeling a sense of disappointment. When you say imagine how disappointed he'd be, you're basically saying imagine the look on his face when he finds out. The clue is the emphasis on disappointed.
Good job trying anyway?
Say what you want but he had the dedication and brain (and the balls) required to build a ROCKET in his backyard and launch it…TWICE.
But not the brains to just get in a plane and see the Earth from a much higher altitude. Such brains.
His ultimate goal was to take a balloon or rocket high enough to get a clear picture of the flat earth. The irony is, when he would have taken a picture and it inevitably would have looked like a round earth, he would have become conspiracy legend, probably that he was either part of the government or that the government got his real photos and replaced him. Because a flat-earther will forever find excuses.
My guy really tried to leave the atmosphere with a big bottle rocket
His iq is dumb high 189
Talk about his IQ however you want, his balls are still bigger than any of you guys are

@@danielmiller2886 ask the military any jet pilots etc
Lu1zhp3akz Funny, I have had extensive conversation with them about the subject of navigation. You said they use “flat earth to calculate”... Calculate what? Distance? Air speed? Etc.. The videos out there of interviews extrapolate theories out of context.
False. He wasn’t even a flat earther, and knew full well that a launch of only a couple thousand feet would prove nothing anyway. He was just piggy-backing on the viral flat earth movement.
I watched a video about that.
He didn't have enough money to finish his rocket so he went the the Flat Earthers and convinced them he was one of them and got them to pay the rest of what he needed.
why doesnt he just pay for a ballon ride?!
the only thing he proved is that the earth is hard.
lmao

Now that's funny.

Lol!!
This is why aliens won't come here.
I know right?
😂😂😂
Because the earth is flat?
If I would be an alien, I would love to come here (well, except my race does not like the looks of earth, because we have other 'beauty' standards or such a like).
To walk among humans is probably like walking around in a rabbit cage.
You know you could squash them with a wink of an eye, but you don't because you want to see, how they destroy themselves °L°
Aliens don't come to us because they can't see us, the Earth too flat to be recognized from outer space.

Doesn't need to be original, it will never stop being funny until science and education prevail over 2000-year-old religiously-fed denial.
Drum Ape I still can't believe they posted that lmao. I died laughing that night.
So? So does Scientology.
At least he proved gravity works just fine.😂
EugVR6
Haven't you heard? A lot say gravity doesn't exist it is density.that causes things to come back down. (make your own jokes about that one).
Edit:
I am adding this as some think this was a serious comment. I point you to the reference of making a joke about being dense. This comment must be in zero G as it went over a lot of peoples heads.
@@anthonysach Unfortunately that idea is undermined by the fact you need gravity to have density and buoyancy.
Buoyancy can be removed from water with a methane burst and yet everything in the methane area still sinks to the sea bed, boats, oil rigs etc etc, meaning another force is pulling down the boats and oil rigs in the affect area and its not magic.
@@anthonysach The motion of the heavenly bodies in the universe gives the idea of attraction between them and their stability. Otherwise it is not possible for heavenly bodies to move around each other. Although gravitational force is the weakest force in the nature, it is the most important because from the birth of the universe to its stability, it plays an important role.
Newtons universal law of gravitation states that everybody in this universe attract each other with a force which is directly proportional to the product of its masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centres
Variation of acceleration due to gravity
Since the earth is not perfectly spherical. It is flattered at poles and bulged at the equator. So the equatorial radius is more than the polar radius.
Therefore gp>ge
Due to height(g')=g(1-(2h/R))
With depth(g')=g(1-(x/R))
Due to rotation of the earth(g')=g-Rω^2cos2A
Intensity or strength of gravitational field E=(GMm)/(R^2)
Gravitational potential energy U=-(GMm)/(R)
The satellite is real.
Orbital velocity of satellite=R√(g)/(R+h)
Satellite near the earth has velocity of 7.2 km/s
Time period of satellite can be found by=2π√(R+h)^3/GM
Here is the principle of launching satellite---
Let us suppose a very very ultra high tower on the surface of the earth. Consider a body is projected horizontally from the top of the tower with some velocity. The body will follow a parabolic path under the effect of gravity and strike the earth surface. If the body is projected with velocity greater than the initial velocity, then the body will strike at the earth surface but farther than the previous one. If the velocity is gradually increased then the horizontal range will also increase and finally a stage will come when the body will not strike the earth's surface but will always be in a state of free fall under the gravity in an attempt to fall to earth. So now the satellite revolves around earth. Therefore satellite are put into rockets sent to some height above earth and released with some amount of force that causes the satellite to revolve around the earth.
Lololol
EugVR6 if you need gravity to have density how come birds defy gravity all the time effortlessly?
How to end the FE debate forever:
If I fly in a plane with unlimited fuel in a perfectly straight line, at 15,000 feet, forever until the end of time, do I keep seeing new things or just the same bodies of land/ water underneath me?
Now watch how flerfs can't answer or change the subject.
Way too expensive, time consuming and no flerf will try it. Much better.... get them to tell you the name of the map they use for turn by turn directions. It's fun watching them squirm... :)
@@tjjones621 and even if it was financially possible, the Flerfs would just make the excuse that you were turning in too subtly to notice.
@@konstellashon1364 My opinion... none of them will make the flight because they all will get lost using Gleason's time chart for turn by turn directions. :)
To all of those insulting him, he took the time out to make a rocket and to challenge his theory scientifically. Much more than most of us have ever done. Give him his due credit.
No
If the earth is flat why hasn’t someone walked to the edge and taken a picture
Tenya iida lol
Because nasa has cloned thousands of chuck norris and they kick whoever tries to go there
Ferto Cappuccino are you a flat Earther?
Ferto Cappuccino wtf? Someone would have travelled to the edge by now. Oh yeah and some people say the sun is on Earth, so why haven't we travelled there?
Ferto Cappuccino wait, Chuck Norris is a martial artist right? So your joking nm.
Damn, natural selection didn't get him this time.
Why should it? He built and successfully launched his own steam powered rocket. NASA should be taking notes, perhaps expand upon this technology to make rockets that produce far less pollution.
don't worry, flatheads are going the same way as the Dodo bird
If you want him dead then why don't you go shoot him with that really cool ar-15 you have? Compensating for something? Do you drive a lifted truck too? I'm not siding with the pilot either.
nobody here said anything about an ar-15 except you, what are you compensating for...
I just did. And you can come up with a better comeback than just copying what i said.

I admire him for saying "I don't know for sure, that's why I want to go up to space." That's exactly the way to do it. You build a hypothesis which could end up being true or false, and then you test that to see
I don't, he could have just read some books on astronomy and celestial mechanics to find out what has been known for at least 2500 years.

John Coppers keep in mind rockets are expensive. NASA isn’t going to pay this guy millions of dollars just to prove it to him.
so when he makes it into space how is he going to re-enter the atmosphere?
FrankieTheWop, all he'll need to do is wait for the flat earth to catch up with him, since it is obviously moving upward... or something like that.
Gravity
FrankieTheWop hopefully he doesn't.
He hasn’t planned that far in advance yet... he is a fly by the seat of his pants type of dude.
Space doesn't start at that altitude. He didn't even leave the atmosphere.
Even though he thinks the earth is flat, he made a self made rocket
My guess is that Mike used the whole flat earth schtick to gain himself publicity. At heart he was a guy who was more of a daredevil.

Flat earthers usually have dumb minds, but at least this guy went to test if his theories were correct. I give this man 100% of my respect.
word
I mean... I give him 50%. The other 50% he'll only get when he decides to get a proper education.
Exactly. If you're going to believe weird stuff like this, put your money where your mouth is. He's wrong, but he's willing to test his theory. I would totally talk to him over coffee, because his point-of-view is so interesting, despite that it's wrong.
if he step in a plane he will get higher
Thought so exactly
SIMPLE WAY TO PROVE IT - Go to the end of the Earth where it drops off.
Not a flat-earther, but honestly, I wish he was still alive to build better, safer and cheaper rockets to allow people to see the Earth because I think it's the only obvious evidence that really can convince a flat-earther to believe otherwise. Much respect and rest in peace.
There’s a common problem shared by flat earthers, which is that they think they only way to know Earth’s shape is to see it in its entirety. This is an error. We can very easily prove that Earth is a sphere from right here on the surface, but flat earthers simply ignore this fact because it robs them of feeling like they’re special.
Well, at least he proved gravity exists...
The flat Earthers think things fall because they are heavy
Pan Cytryna they don't have one unified explanation of gravity... many say the earth is traveling up pushing us up
I have a feeling that this is going to be a very interesting conversation. its called the THEORY of gravity.
To begin with, its a "Theory" not a proven fact. I know.. I know... If you drop something it will fall. ok try to understand this. I know it all. let me explain the problem. if you drop an object, is there a "Force" pulling" OR "Pushing" the object down. fact is = UNKNOWN. another fact is " if you drop an object in a vacuum chamber, it has a fall "direction or angle" (the direction it drops is always the same) - FACT. (at this moment I will not call it Gravity why? because the moment i say Gravity you believe it can hold the oceans to a spinning Globe ) this is FICTION. This is not a scientific FACT its a theory. water is always contained! AND LEVEL. in a glass, bucket, swimming pool, lake, and yes oceans. (Huston we have a problem again)
of course we can add value to the dropping object time, speed etc but this is THEORY again. We can not proof if the force pulling or pushing this object. (law of motion) : We can say there is a "force because it moves". if we haven't pick it up , can we say there is a force pushing or pulling or holding it to the ground?
if its on the ground and not moving then we can say: NO motion => NO Force => NO gravity? yes :-(
some say NO! and I don't know. (I can be a rapper too) another fact is: there is NOT A person in this world that know what gravity is. (FACT).
You think "yes" because it stay's on the ground. I say "NO" because a balloon is bigger and it floats. so here comes density and buoyancy. clouds in the air floating around.
Basically Gravity is a theory. and now comes a smart guy joining the conversation : LIGO proves gravity!
yeah right! I bet a moth flew through the laser and BOOM "we found Gravitational Wave! ". But it does not matter! They had to find a reason for the THEORIE of gravity to become a "fact" ! so that science fiction can solve every unknown equations and the most impossible Globe lie with BINGO! =>"GRAVITY"!
Q&A is in the next room.
yep.
efgtest Eventually, the Earth will stop spinning and you will have nothing to worry about!
And tell me this, was it worth it?
Oh I just honestly wanted to know if it was worth, you know almost killing himself for it, I could care less what this man does.
Wepe Kapfo I didn't know rockets eat lunch.
Michell'e Tuttle Yeah to get covered by national news is the main purpose--earth is a prison planet no one can leave it.
Wepe Kapfo yeah dude it didn't even fly 2,000 feet
Michell'e Tuttle yes he discovered gravity.
Response to "No edge" by the commenter "L J"
The video was deliberately applied lens correction to distort the original video (which was recorded using fish eye lens) to show a flat horizon. Applying the proper lens correction however shows the horizon curved exactly as predicted by the globe model.
The man has the intelligence to create a rocket, yet he believes the earth is flat?
The earth is is actually an octagon

It is certainly NOT, it's triangle

No. Your game is running on low poly models. Upgrade the graphics.
This man must be really be insane if he thought he could reach earths escape velocity (33 times the speed of sound) in that dinky, steam powered, oversized firework.
I wish he did.. then atleast we would have one less flat earther floating out into space
If he did reach space, his rocket will be shredded when he enters the atmosphere
What did you expect? He's a flat earther, they're all morons and prove it every day.
U don't need to achieve the escape velocity to see the curvature... U don't need to go to exosphere....
we should invite them ALL on to a space shuttle ,
then shoot it out in to space with no way back
just fire it to the next galaxy , maybe they'll be happier with these fools
a nice ride far away from earth , while they watch the sphere grow smaller and smaller , wishing they opened another god damn book in their lives
spoiler alert: he died in february 2020 in a crash landing of one of his rockets. ooops!
That's the most dedicated flat earther I've ever heard of. I dare other flat earthers to attempt this amazing experiment!😜
Absolutely - in fact, I reckon the World would be a better place if they ALL did this...
Ideally they need to attempt this before reproducing.
Time to buy shares in the company that makes the Darwin awards. Business will soon be a boomin'!
At least he is one of the few flat earthers putting his money where his mouth is and trying to actually find out for himself. Most of them use their thousands of hours on UA-cam as their ‘research’ and spend 90% of their time trolling or deflecting insults.
However, Hughes is a liar. All this is is fake CGI footage. Hughes never built a rocket. He is inferior in every way to real humans.
He could easily prove that his model cannot be reality by going that high along a seashore with a carpenters level, but he would not know how to do it. Nor does he desire to do it, because like all flatters he is not one bit interested in truth.
He could've spent 10 bucks at hobby lobby and bought a rocket with a camera vs breaking his body up ....fail
+pa: And he would have never proven anything at all by doing that even if his rocket went tens of thousands of feet high.
But, like rainman pointed out, he could easily have proven that the FE model cannot be real by simply grabbing a level and heading for the coast. Just by going a thousand feet high, or so, in the mountains along the coast. Where at 1500 ft altitude the horizon intersects the far end of my 6.5 ft level about 1 inch from the top at the far end. It does not require much altitude to blatantly demo that the horizon is not "level with the eyes", as all flatters declare it is.
Fact is, ANY carpenter who frames houses along the coast, has his eyes open, can actually think, and is interested in this subject, knows the FE model cannot be reality.
But then, such a thing is just too boring, correct? It is a lot more sexy to think of rocket ships and jet plane flying 40,000 ft high -- everything we are never going to ever do.
while your on youtube lol
I guess that just because you don’t believe in gravity, doesn’t mean it doesn’t believe in you.
what is gravity?
Apex Frapex gravity is defined as the force of the earth that keeps you on the earth instead of just flying away
i know what it is bro, i have problems with working logic of it
Soooo underrated! should be pinned as comment of the age!
*mind blowing*
He doesn't really believe the Earth is flat. He just wanted 3M+ views on this video, and we all obliged him
At least he’s testing to prove it scientifically Kudos to him
Logic:
Smart enough to build a rocket
Dumb enough to believe earth is flat
heyyyy even the once-ler can figure out hahaha hi onceler fan here
See you can't be that bad. (But still why did you cut down all those trees?)
*You
7 people believed they could go to space but died.. #spacechallenger86
Someone brainwashed him ...!!
the only thing flat earthers fear is sphere itself
This is the most underrated comment I have ever seen- It is SO good! 🤣
its been a meme already for a while...still good though
Hey... maybe they like minecraft.... That world is flat.... There are no spheres (blocks).....
true... But what about a superflat world?
J Fitz ya ok buddy
Why is this guy smart enough to build a Rocket but not smart enough to know the earth is Round?
Its more complex than that, the dude was just using flat earthers to get funds for his crazy rocket stunts
Plot twist:
He proved that earth was round.
Mission failed SUCCESFULLY
I mean at least he’d know for sure
God : how is the earth shaped like?
Me : *yes*
@@duolingobird2934 Donut is still round ; )
TrackerDrift he isn’t really a real flat earther
Watch the video
Soars 1,875 feet in a self made rocket, risking his life to see if the earth is flat......could have bought a $250 plane ticket and flew at 13,000 feet.
TWDxKILL3R 13? He could have went nearly 40 thousand feet
That’s a projection by the plane companies to fool you
@@alileevil you forgot your sarcasm marker
The idiot must have thought the windows of the commercial airliner could be a LED screen and its a large simulator right out of a Rick and Morty episode. Too much stupidity and too much watching TV. :p
No need to call them stupid because they dont believe what you believe. Im not saying the earth is flat. They just dont trust the information they get and try to go have a look for themselves. As long as theyre not insulting you you should not insult them.
Man, i wish there was some kind of collective of people who made it their mission to go into space and do sciency stuff. Damn, a man can only dream.
if the earths flat why isnt our balls cube
This guy knows planes exist......right?
And that they fly like over 10 times higher than he got........right?
Humans are weird.
Flat earther brain in nutshell
Yeah, there's also live feed from the space station. But the point is he doesn't believe others. Everyone's in cahoots. He may as well claim that the airplane's windows aren't real and are in fact screens that show cgi lol
@@gorilla-san even if he himself finds out that earth is round, other flat earthers will call him actor paid by NASA. They don't want truth, they just want to be labeled as right person.
@@rocketmanfossel1174 yep.
@@gorilla-san cgi airplane windows lol. Even the pilots! The pilots gotta be because they say it's round too lol
The earth is not flat, but it isn't round either.
It's a fidget spinner
Oh STFU you're not even funny
No its a Donut 🍩
Shut up everybody it has a shape of Elon musk s face
Not funny
@@aaryam4799 you are right
Can a flat earther please explain why he did not take a balloon that can go 100 times higher ????
Guy died on second try.
"He's a little confused but he's got the spirit" of an explorer.
This is the real scientist. He really wanted to find out the truth until the very end.
@@problem-solution-project if he needed to test if the earth is flat or not I wouldn’t call him a scientist. He refused to believe evidence documented for hundreds of years and thinks that every single countries space force is lying for some random reason
No he is a dead man
@@JohnDoe-eb7lv He's a scientist. He even used the scientific method. He failed in trying to prove his hypothesis but he did try to prove it. That's why he's a scientist, no matter how wrong his hypothesis was, it was still science.
I laughed reading your comment
Someone should tell him
There are these things called drones and
There's a better way.
What about an AIRPLANE TICKET?
A drone like that retail $25,000,000
Tristan Huynh weather balloons will fly high enough to show the curveture of the earth. Attach a. Non fish eye lens to one and send it up
His rocket is faster, stronger, higher than drones.
Shome Truth to simple
He could have literally just gone skydiving but to each their own I guess
They should name a fund after him for the flat earth people.
He made a $20,000 rocket and broke bones in order to go a few hundred feet in the air. Did he know he can take a commercial airline flight at 30,000 feet for only $1000 and most likely will eat a small lunch in a comfortable chair while doing it?
He could have just as well rented a Cesna for $200 and gone 15,000 feet above. Renting a helicopter for $150 could have done what he did 3x's over.
Or climb a mountain for free
But even commercial flight doesn't go high enough to see curvature.
Exactly
It's cooler to build you own rocket and have everybody talking about you.
Are you serious? No I will NOT look into it!
Nice work on the rocket but 1875 feet? Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to fly at 30,000 on a commercial airline? How about a hike to the top of a mountain taller than 1875 feet?
You could have hiked to the top of those mountains in the background and looked down at his experiment.
How about a Helicopter then?
Special glass that makes it look like the Earth is round...
So that's your explanation for seeing the curvature from planes. They have special glass that creates the illusion. Now you are either being too paranoid or too desperate not to accept the fact that the Earth isn't flat. In that case, break the glass. See what happens.
How about both？launch the rocket on top of the mountain
Worst part of all: *The horizon on a flat-earth still wouldn't be flat.* It would still be curved, like the edge of a CD or frisbee. So this entire endeavor was utterly pointless...unless the flerfs think the horizon is literally a straight line, which would mean earth is non-circular shaped. Then it would have CORNERS. Uh oh 🙃
That prove wouldn't change anything.
The Earth is nothing but a planet and a sphere, There is nothing you can change about.
His brain is flat
Crazyfireball 808 it will, after he gets a little higher on the next launch.
Crazyfireball 808 someone should build a rocket to launch it up In space to prove his brain is flat
Atleast not super flat! He is still uncertan
Hawaii represent
I was about to comment that lel
Smart enough to build a rocket. Dumb enough to believe the Earth is flat. Okay.
SogMosee or maybe not
Better believe a lie your whole life than finding out it was a lie shortly before you die
He does not believe that. This is not the first rocket stunt he made, but this time he failed to raise funds normally and turned to the gullible flat earth people for money. That also got him more publicity.
SogMosee ... Earth is FLAT and Space is a Lie.
+That one dude even if we didn't have pictures, we still would know the earth is round.
Turns out the man was not a flat earther. But saying that he was made sure flerfers gave him money to fund the project.
Gotta give him credit for that. He was a dare devil who found a group dumb enough he could con them into funding his thrill ride.
Earth be like: i have one of the best stupids living on me
