He can’t just look at the NASA channel like the rest of us?

I think they are just allowing more youtubers to get to the launch site. I can’t wait to see him hand his beer to his launch engineer and say, “Hey Ya’all... Watch this.”

[rdl6989]

Please tell me this guy isn’t serious?

[Pelham]

He oughta just use weather balloons and a lawn chair, no rocket needed.

‘Ol Larry Walters did it back in the 1980s and got up to 16,000 feet, much to the surprise of the airline pilots who saw him bobbing around near LAX.

[Husker24]

Only 1800ft?? Why doest he just get on a cessna?

I hate to be dense but how does that prove the Earth is flat, if he was only going to 1800 ft? I climb hills higher than 1800 ft.

Yup. His can gets kicked up to 20 Gs on launch and he becomes like a bug smeared on the windshield.

[right way right]

Whaaat? The WAPO is taking a break from attacking Trump to report some real important scientific stuff. Doh!

[nickcarraway]

I don’t believe the Earth is flat but for some reason it doesn’t anger me that other people do. Some people seem to get really mad that these people believe that. What do I care?

[jazusamo]

Let him launch, he’ll be history a few minutes after.

[Mark17]

Darwin Award temporarily postponed.

I wonder if he has a parachute with it?

[sparklite2]

At his age, I imagine he’s already dipped into the gene pool. If the story I read was accurate that his ‘ship’ is steam powered, I don’t see him getting more than ten feet from the launch pad.

[Flaming Conservative]

A shame no one was able to convince this dum dum of the fact that 1800 feet is too low to observe the earth’s curvature, let alone prove the earth is flat. On the upside, his subscription to “Modern Luddites” was just automatically renewed for life.

[DanielRedfoot]

I’m totally on board with this, tell me when and where, I got lawn chairs and a cooler full of beer.

[Fungi]

That might also be called “sanity” —if he had any.

[GregoTX]

A California man who planned to launch himself 1,800 feet high Saturday in a homemade scrap-metal rocket — in an effort to prove that Earth is flat

Why not simply charter an airplane or buy any airline ticket going anywhere.

[faithhopecharity]

The Trump administration is against the acquisition of scientific knowledge?! Even the Roman Catholic Church now supports astronomical observations and discoveries
