This Flat-Earther Is Going To Launch Himself In A Homemade Rocket On Saturday

[Gary Blanchard]

is that the infamous 'stairway to heaven'?

No, but it is a movie reference that I get!

I think It's from The Truman Show.

Yep.

Ask one sometime. I never will again, what a waste of time.

Me "Why isn't google image search littered with photos of the edge of the earth? Youtube?"

Flat Earther"Something something conspiracy, .... truth not allowed to come to light.... There are photos....I've seen some photos.....blah blah...NASA...MIB...."

I wonder if these people ever travel, far. So in order for me to join their club I have to be 1) stupid, and 2) without opportunities to see the world. Oh, where is the edge? Funny they don't even believe it's a cylinder, because tons of people have circumnavigated the globe longitudinally. Then they could say the edge is at the poles or some such nonsense. I've never really seen their imagined map. I guess it's probably a disk to explain how you can sail "around" the world. Is that it?? A flat disc floating in space? Or do they not believe in space, just sky above and ground endlessly below which eventually turns into hell?

What a bunch of fucking useless idiots. Like knowing someone is a flatearther would automatically kill any other possible intelligent conversation you could have with them. "Hey, what's your opinion on vaccinations? Oh never mind, you're a fucking idiot, I forgot."

What kills me is that if you stand at the beach and look out over the ocean, you can actually see the very slight curve of the horizon.

FAKE VIEWS!!!!

Indeed.

You should be able to detect it from an aeroplane at a cruising height of around 10,600 metres (35,000 feet), but you need a fairly wide field of view (ie 60 degrees) and a virtually cloud-free horizon. The reality is that clouds, hills and mountains mean we rarely get to see the kind of perfectly flat horizon where the curve would be most obvious.

However, you can detect the curve of the Earth from ground level at the coast with a pair of binoculars – just look for distant ships on the horizon and you’ll see that their hulls start to disappear before their masts and other superstructure. Ancient Greek scientists, who spotted this without any optical aids, used this to conclude that the Earth was round.

If his rocket gets to that altitude it would be epic...maybe the ultimate Darwin award winner??

I guess all the airlines are part of the globe conspiracy, because I watched the map track our position while I was flying over the north pole to the other side of the planet.

Also…what is on the other side of the disc?

This guy has obviously never looked up and seen another planet. Comet S-L9 crash into Jupiter.... I saw it live in the eyepiece. Can't convince me that he isn't a couple fries short of a happy meal.

They claim satellites don't exist either. That one kills me. You can literally see the ISS pass over with your own nekkid eyes.

if he does get to that altitude (he won't), i hope he's taken into account that above about 12,000 feet, you need oxygen or you get hypoxia.....and at 35,000, you die.

FAKE EYES!!!
that's just a shooting star.....or the reflection off a UFO.

Now lets talk about 911 theories

Saturday is Splatterday.

Or Shatterday. /harlan_ellison

Actually, they say satellites are high altitude balloons or holograms projected on The firmament by NASA, along with stars, planets or anything else we can see in the sky. And no, they have no explanation as to who or what was doing it before 1958 or so.

These people truly are beyond bizarre. They even held an international conference last week.

And how did they get there?
