Some history for the students
 

I think this is a scam but there is history too.

The Greeks knew that the moon and the earth were balls due to the shadows that they made on the moon and the sun. They knew through experiments that only a sphere would cast, under all circumstances, the circular shape we can see during an eclipse.

They knew how big a sphere the earth was thanks to geometry, deep wells and the sun standing over head at noon. I'll leave it to others to explain how that worked.

I still maintain that this is a scam, that rocket with a man on board won't go 50 feet but there has to be a way to extract $ from the gullible.

Remember P.T. Barnum "There is a sucker born every minute"

It is a scam of sorts. He started a gofunme account or similar last year and couldn't raise the money. Then suddenly, he becomes a flat earther and gets some $150K in funds from Research Flat Earth. Can't see him ever getting into orbit, and if by some slim chance he does - I doubt he'll make it back.

If he does make it into orbit, he's probably assuming space is made up of 'volumenous ether' and won't bother bringing an oxygen supply.

Well.......

Bye.

Is this the same guy that escaped from North Korea a couple weeks back?

BW

A can that big could fly quite a ways. I don't think the police will let him launch. Steam powered rocket? Haha, depending on how tough the shell is that is quite the bomb.

Not if he's already reproduced :sign0176:

This guy seems to have all the qualities of becoming next Governor of California.

I knew that sooner or later the movie The Astronaut Farmer would inspire some kook!

The truth is out there !
 

NASA has faked all the space travel, satellites actually go around above us in circles.

Not sure what they're smoking in California? :sign0161:

The earth IS flat, well sorta. Atmosphere and stratosphere layers fool cameras with their light bending fisheye effect distorting pancake shapes to look like extended spheres. Planets are flat longitudinally, round on the ends latitudinally rotating digitally. Light bending effects make them appear round to the human eye. Long planets are shaped like hotdogs. Short planets are shaped like marshmallows. Sun's heat makes them crusty on the surface and gooey inside. The 'Rule of Rotisserie Conundrum' explains it.
If the rotisserie is slow (like ours is)the planet will be hot on one side and snowy on the other that explains the seasons. The moon currently is an immature sun, as it grows, reaches puberty and moves out to the opposite side we will have two full grown suns and daylight all the time, we will no longer have winter. This is the actual explanation for the global warming phenomenon (the changing climate is the telltail) but the media, scientific community and gov't hide this revelation for their own nefarious profit taking reasons..

Actually the Moon does spin, at the perfect rate as to always present one side to Earth. It is also 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun and 400 times smaller.That`s why we get perfect coverage during an eclipse, the only know sun, planet, moon system event known to exist. Just for fun, Venus spins the other way to all the other planets and Jupiter has a moon that circles clockwise, opposite to the other 66 moons. Oh, and Uranas spins on it` side. Wonder what happened there. And Jupiter is in exactly the right place to intercept 99.9 % of the crap that would hit Earth. Somethings just make you think. One day when I`m real drunk it will hit me. Then I`ll forget when I wake up.

The only thing he has to fear is sphere itself.

Lol...

Thanks for the chuckle..good one!!

What did I just read? Am I having a stroke? Is this real life.

Also on a side note, rocket man is trolling you when he says his rocket is steam powered. It uses hydrogen for fuel. Steam is what is created as a byproduct of combustion of hydrogen.

If you stare at the open ocean from shore you can actually see the curvature of the earth... I hope this guy lives though.

I think he will go up then come down......really really hard

Like closed coffin hard

Prove It !!! :waiting4:

The dark side of the moon was not seen by man until a Russian satellite photographed it in 1959.

Very real. Perhaps you should summon medical attention. Strokes should be only taken in moderation.

Ok I thought you were joking. Please explain to me how the moon which is mostly rock turns into a star which ate mostly hydrogen?

Please also explain to me how satellites are put into orbit of the earth isn't spherical?

Also I'm curious as to how you explain a disc shaped earth as I assume you believe that gravity is a real thing? If we assume gravity is real then the point of attraction must have a center right? If it had a center and pulls equally from all directions wouldn't that result in a sphere?

Please explain to me how sun dials work if the earth isn't round?

Im also curious as to why certain constellations are visible and others aren't depending on where you are on earth. If the earth was flat wouldn't we all see the same night sky?

I'm honestly curious as to how you have come to believe this despite all the knowledge we have acquired as a species. Please no hokey links or YouTube videos just an explanation info your own words.

rocket man
 

I bet he won't make it over Snake Caynon

I have read some opinions and theories on this site over the years that have given me pause or made me shake my head but I've never read anything like this.


I'm going to need some clarification here.

So the moon .... a ball of rock is going to go through puberty and transform into a giant ball of burning gas as it moves to what opposite side? I'm curious which sun will we be orbiting?

I'm curious about a lot quite frankly.

:sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout::sHa_shakeshout:

I bet this is the same guy that does the youtube videos that show him sticking fireworks up his $@#.

Wouldn't it just be alot easier and safer to starting heading west to see if he falls off? Likely won't raise as much money that way but...

Even if he does manage to launch himself 50 km up, its still going to look flat unless he manages to launch himself parallel to the "flat earth".

You should feel bad about that nonsense you just wrote.
