I'm sure we're all aware of Flat-Earthers. If you're not, here you go. So this guy has taken "research" to a new and ridiculous level. He's strapping himself into a steam powered rocket that will supposedly launch him to roughly 1,800 feet and at speeds of 500 MPH. I'm failing to see how this will prove anything, but I'm intrigued by his insanity.
It could be what he's really trying to prove is that flat earthers will fall for a ridiculous crowdfunding plan if you offer to validate their beliefs.
Darwin Earth-ers are also interested in his experiment!
I didn't read the linked article, but read a different article about the guy this morning. The thing is, I don't think he is doing this in regards to the shape of the earth. The headline I read said he was an anti-science flat earther doing an experiment, but this seems 100% stunt like. It did say that he also wants to build an actual rocket to go to space to see what the earth looks like. I hope he can see that it a spherical-like shape before he dies.
I liked how we disses Evil Knievel as a stunt version of Elvis.
In reply to T.J. :
I sincerely hope he has a GoPro camera on his face as he slowly realizes he was wrong this whole time.
I honestly hope he doesn't get himself killed, but I would like the stunt to knock some sense into him when that big round earth comes up quick to meet him.
