Self-taught rocket scientist plans launch to test flat Earth theory

How do they explain away the arch of the horizon

Most of the time they choose short distances, which makes it more difficult, if not impossible, to calculate the curvature of the Earth. I tend to avoid "flat-Earthers".

i hope he wears a cape when he launches that would make it even better

Well you really should because it is a lose/lose situation. If you beat them soundly with actual facts and science you beat up on a retard. If you pity allow them to win or somehow actually lose you lost to a retard so like I said a lose/lose situation.

So fluid dynamics isn’t science? Gotta mention this to my physics teacher

Flat Earthers are literal retards so they have no understanding of anything.

Mad Mike isn't a flat earther. As far as I can tell, he's included a flat earth message on his equipment purely for attention.

Isn't that kind of the whole point of Flat Earther-ism?
I mean, it all seems like some kind of attention mongering to me.....

Alternatively, he's smart enough to get Flat Earthers to pay for his Daredevil thrill-seeking.

Kinda shows how gullible Flat-Earthers are that they are paying for it then.

Ah, very good. I hadn't thought of that. Well played, Mr. Mike.

Those flat earth people don't have a lot of money.

Where you can see the curve of the ocean.

ftfy 10chars

The earth is flat but not a square, it's a circle, what you see there is the curve of that circle limit.

I'm not a flat earther, but that's their reasoning, lol.

Mmm. It's a bit much to say that they have no understanding of anything. I'd gladly agree if you said, "they have no understanding on anything about Earth", as they do believe the Sun, a "slightly warm" star, is only 4,000 miles above the Earth.

This dude will be flat when he hits the Earth, that's for sure.

[Memnok]

So dude plans to fly a homemade rocket to 1,800 feet to prove the earth is flat. Wouldn't it be safer and cheaper to buy a ticket to anywhere on a 747 go 3 times as high and look out the window?

"The Flat Earth Society, founded in 1956 and relaunched online in the 2000s, currently boasts of having over 500 members, although the group has splintered into two separate factions with competing websites."

Now that is amusing.

Some nitpicking, but try 20 times

Well, your example shows they also have no understanding of The Sun, astronomy, or basic physics. On top of that flat earthers also tend to reject any science that disputes their belief that the Earth is Flat as well as a general disposition towards other conspiracy theories... I mean, if 'they' are lying about the Earth being round...they'll lie about anything!

is flat earthing just an american thing nowadays or are there other countries that engage in this shit?

“I don’t believe in science,” declared the 61-year-old. “I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air. But that’s not science, that’s just a formula.”

Stopped reading there.

[Moadar]

If the earth was flat wouldn't it be daytime 24/7 everywhere on the planet?

My coworkers are all laughing cause we have a guy here named michael hughes
