Some y'all thought I was crazy...this guy has balls of steel.
Says he's gonna launch his homemade rocket to prove the Earth is flat:

Here's a test video. That's some air!

He pulled the plug on today's effort. Guess it wasn't a good day to die. There's always tomorrow.

For a split second I though it said Mad Mike Jones.

People shoot off man made rockets 120,000 feet in the air in Nevada. Maybe he should go there and strap himself on like Wile E. Coyote.

I'm positive a camera would achieve the same thing as launching yourself up there , those flat earth people are fucked up.

Why wouldn't he just buy a plane ticket and go 35000 feet up for 500 dollars? When I read about this the other day, I laughed really hard. 1800 feet is all it takes apparently

Or you could just go up in an airplane. GrinningGrinning These people are truly wacky.
Turns out the Flat Earth Society got him funded, so he's just using them to get his sponsorship by the appearance of it.

Been there done that 43yrs ago. He's a stuntman thats been trying to get someone to pay attention. Nobody cares. So he got the flat earth guys to fund it.
It was pretty awsome when knievel did it though.

No, it's the moon that's hollow. That's where we lived before we came here. Try and keep up, bro.

Flat Earth has to be one of THE WORST conspiracy ideas ever.

So when you get to the edge of the earth.......are the oceans...

(a) contained by a wall like a big swimming pool.

or is it (b) like a big water fall dropping water into space

or (c) don't ask, you wouldn't understand. It's rocket science.

Earth is a sphere. Spheres don’t have edges (or faces or vertices).
