A man who believes Earth is flat, and was ready to launch himself from a rocket in California on Saturday afternoon to prove it, has canceled his plans. At least for now.

<snip>

Hughes is a 61-year-old limo driver who has spent the last few years building a steam-powered rocket out of salvage parts in his garage. His project has cost him $20,000, which includes Rust-Oleum paint to fancy it up and a motor home he bought on Craigslist that he converted into a ramp.

Hughes was set to launch his rocket between 2 and 3 p.m.on Saturday.

20k for a homemade rocket......what could go wrong?

How old is this article? Kyrie Irving doesn't play for the Cavs but it doesn't surprise me he is a flat earther.

Is there room for the karsmashians to go too.

That rocket should have ACME painted on the side of it.

If he succeeded/returned he would sell a lot of books and inspire a ton of other adventurer types to try it as well. Imagine being in your yard one morning and a few luns dropped out of the sky and onto your garden. Ahh good times.

So all the planets (or Moons) in our solar system are round, but Earth is the only one that is flat. Makes sense. Wonder why no photos of Earth show a flat earth or any other planet we have visited so far. We all know the Moon is flat, its obvious from what we see looking at it above in the sky at night.

I’m related news, fuzzy has been posting more often now that he’s given up that failed endeavor.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

does he realize he could just buy a drone and fly it high to prove that the earth is round?

How have humans made it to the top of the food chain being so stupid?

It is all relative.

What about a dog? Man's best friend is pretty stupid relatively speaking.

Salmon swimming thousands of miles just to mate. That is so stupid. Just get your freak on where you are instead of wasting all that time and energy journeying back to where you were born.

Chimps fling feces at each other. They're out for being smarter.

Is a dolphin going to come on land and take your job? I don't think so.

You can make a case for each animal to be stupider or less qualified to be at the top of the food chain no matter how dumb humans are.

he appears to be a glitch in the matrix that is in the process of self correcting until he cancelled the launch

 

[theebs]

darn now we will never find out if the earth is flat.

Some fish are hopeless romantics and will do anything for love.

...I mentioned this guy in my "Strangeness" topic the other day...as for the rocket launch idea ...Mrs. Gump says "Stupid is as stupid does!"...

 

[YosemiteSam]

You know, the Earth is flat if you only live in one dimension. It's all about perspective.

I prefer my eleven dimensions. Even if seven of them are tightly curled up so small in Calabi–Yau shapes that I can't perceive them.

Shut up!
