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"


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.
