I feel confidant in saying that this guy will not live to be a 62-year-old limo driver and stuntman.

Flat earth? Those guys rate right up there with the sovereign citizens for too dumb to breathe.

For a couple hundred bucks you can get a weather balloon, a camera and some radio equipment to take a picture of the curvature of the earth. Unless he wants to keep an eye on it to make sure no round earthers intercept the camera and put a distorting lens on it.

There is something inconsistent about those numbers. If he can get to a speed of 500 mph, he should be able to gain at least 8500 feet of altitude (unless he wants to put out the parachutes on the way up).

But of course this idiot doesn’t believe in science anyway. Where does he think those “formulas” come from?

For less than that, you can make a Foucault pendulum which shows it as well. Flat Earth guys don’t believe the Earth rotates either.

Don’t be a silly billy. Even if Newton hadn’t invented gravity, if the world was round all the water would slide off into space!

He’ll meet the same fate as the JATO rocket car.

Only if he doesn’t launch to close to the edge. :)

If the earth were really flat, cats would have knocked everything off of it long ago.

The potential for spectacular fail is high.
