This man is about to launch himself in his homemade rocket to prove the Earth is flat; Trump voters in space

Seeking to prove that a conspiracy of astronauts fabricated the shape of the Earth, a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket he built from scrap metal.

Assuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.

Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.

If taxpayers are not subsidizing his flight, I wish him well....Californians usually rely on the government for everything....,.. :dunno:

So Clinton voters don't think Trump won the election but criticize this guy for trying to prove the earth is flat?

I would love to hear this guy describe his thought process here.

How does he explain orbital mechanics?

What if the guy is right? Conservatives all laughed at Christopher Columbus. This could be the end of liberalism as we know it. MAFA (make America flat again)

Only a flat-earther would fly in a rocket to 1,800 feet altitude, to take a picture, when he buy a drone with a camera at a hobby shop.

More fake news....nowhere does it say this guy is a Trump supporter nor did Conservatives laugh at Chris Columbus....

In fact....this dude is in Cali so odds are he is a lib....secondly it's not Conservatives clamoring to eradicate Columbus day....in fact it was Libs who recently got their proverbial panties in a wad when Trump proudly issued a Presidential Proclamation celebrating Columbus Day....

This thread should be in UUU

It's not the flight that will kill him, it is the sudden stop at the end of the flight.

Then again, if his rocket explodes then the flight will kill him.

I wish him the best of luck.

It's not the destination, It's the journey. :)
