What could possibly go wrong...?
To: Simon Green
I don’t think he understands the gravity of the situation.
To: Blue House Sue
He'd better hope the Earth is soft as well as flat.

If they believe the Earth is flat, why not just drive (or sail) to the edge and see?

Why doesn’t he launch a high altitude balloon with a camera? Others have done it.
Maybe he wants to do us a favor by cleaning the gene pool.

Is he taking a change of underwear for the eventual crap he takes in his pants...?

Anyone have that old cartoon of a porcupine with a balloon? There are onlooking porcupines who say “this won’t last long.”

There will be a pool of genes where he lands, but it won’t be clean.

a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket Much cheaper to hire an airplane ... he can get a lot higher than 1800 feet that way.

” Shortly after the launch, the only thing that will be flat is this flat earther’s head.”
If they can find the pieces ...

Hughess ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth A commercial airline flight will accomplish that.

All he has to do to prove the Earth is flat is take a carpenter’s level to the ocean or a flat horizon and level the level on the horizon; see? the Earth is flat.

Per the article:
He built his first manned rocket in 2014, the Associated Press reported, and managed to fly a quarter-mile over Winkelman, Ariz.
As seen in a YouTube video, the flight ended with Hughes being dragged, moaning from the remains of the rocket. The injuries he suffered put him in a walker for two weeks, he said.

If the Earth was flat, cats would have already knocked everything over the edge.

1800 feet? A rental plane would be a lot cheaper - or go big and take a commercial flight to 30K feet. Still he’d have a long way to go to see any curvature. Maybe a ballon like the sky dive guy used last year.
