What I love about this guy, is he knows the earth is fucking round, he just wants to go shooting off in his own rocket, but they won't just let you do that these days so he has to "research" the earths shape. Genius

No, the rocket fell off the trailer after the trailer broke down.

"61 year old limo driver"

> being this successful

From what I understand it is kind of like being a long haul trucker. If you own your own rig and have loyal clients you can make some real bank.

...

I've driven limo before that's not what I mean, I mean it's shit that you have to be driving a limo at 61. Or doing anything for a living at 61. Should be retired.

Most people choose to keep working, so they don't become lazy sacks of shit.

Yeah, that 55 year old lady at the McDonald's is there because she wants to be...

Holy shit people are this dumb.

Scoresman, got a tattoo.....

Flat earthers suffer from the same delusion that the religious do - that they can't see the larger scale of the universe we live in, in moth size and age. Where god-botherers believe the earth and the universe is only a few thousand years old, it nagates, in their minds, the concept of evolution, because there wasn't enough time for it to happen.

Flatearthers only believe what they can see with their own eyes, which while being the basis of empiricism, means they LITERALLY can't see further than the horizon, and due to their fundamental lack of knowledge about the earth we live on, they have no concept of the actual size of the world.

Fact is, if you were to shrink the planet down to the size of a billiard ball, the surface of the earth would actually be smoother

It's even dumber than religion.

You can charter a plane and fly around the world with the sun always in front of you and end where you started. It's trivial to prove even with your own observations, unlike God.

My grandma is almost 70 and he's constantly working on something. Some people really do enjoy working.

>grandma
>he's

are you from the future?

Never launched it got delayed:

Wow that is a very very retarded question

Bump

By his own calculations, he was gonna hit 1,800 feet. He could literally just drive to New York or Chicago and stand on top of a building higher than that. Or better yet, he could buy a fucking plane ticket and hit 30,000 feet.

Idiot.

Don't knock it till u try it user. Shit is epec. Hardly worse than a normal landbarge and holds 9 people comfortably. While frying the back tire off. Best car i ever had. Scrap yard resurection at that.

Or they belieced the 401k scam and lost everything in 08

The earth is not a sphere

Wtf ever. He already crashed once. Its entertaining as shit.

"I WANNA SEE THE ROCKET LAUNCH!"

It's an oblate shperoid

The shape is unknown by most

No, that has nothing to do with it. He jumped onto the flat earth shit for funding. He didn't have enough money or sponsors so he got onto some talk radio show for flat earthers and shilled his bullshit rocket as "flat earth research" and has been getting donations, hence the flat-earth nonsense.

The damn rocket won't even get anywhere near high enough to see anything, you can't see out of a tall building, and he won't be seeing a fucking thing because he'll be in an aluminum box surrounded by padding and insulation.

lets fuck some hooars

And so long as we get to watch idgaf!

>Probably $100 rocket
>Pays a homeless guy $10 to get shot into the sky and probably die
>The rest of the money goes to beer

You can prove the earth is round with the sun, a stick, and a stopwatch in your own backyard

That doesn't prove the earth is round, it only proves that either the Earth, The Sun, or both are moving relative to each other.

Not a flat earther but that doesn't prove anything

yeah I'm gonna listen to the mouth breather who thinks "negates" is spelled "nagates"

trips checked

>You can charter a plane and fly around the world with the sun always in front of you and end where you started.
That's a good point user. Gonna remember that one, it's a nice, simple, irrefutable reply to the trolls.

No, you need 3 measuring sticks, 3 people, and 3 synchronized watches, at distant, triangular geographical locations, and the calculations from the data they can gather can be used to infer a number of things including that the Earth may be round and moving relative to the sun.

yee yee

>he was gonna hit 1,800 feet
Seriously? That's all? He's even dumber than I thought, if that's possible.

sandwich

True, though I did read somewhere that if you blew up a pool ball to the size of the Earth, the Earth would be closer to spherical than the ball. So it's pretty close.

How?

Yep. It's not him that's dumb, though, it's the flat-earth sponsors. He's always been honest about how high his rocket goes, it was only until he got on that flat earth radio show that he even started acting like it had anything to do with flat earth research. The guy just wants to play with big toys.

This is the same guy that said he was going to fly a "sky limo" across the US.

>implying this won't work on a flat earth with a circular sun path

turtles all the way down

You can't, that user doesn't know what he's talking about. You need at least 3 sticks (the more the better), and not just sticks, but measuring sticks, and they must be sufficiently geographically distant to collect sufficiently relevant data with the naked eye. The relative positions of the sticks, shadow from the sticks, and the exact times. This data, compiled for all the sticks, can be used to calculate even the circumference of the Earth.

Yeah, I suppose I'd quite happily take their money if it meant I got to have a go in a rocket.

Well good thing they already did that and wrote about it in our middleschool history books.

Oh they did that long before your history books, son. The Ancient Greeks did it in the BCs, but not just them, the Chinese, and even the ancient mezoamerican peoples in the ADs had the same knowledge, plus detailed star maps and knowledge of the solar system.

The elite and educated have always known what's up. Even today, the vast majority of people are dumb as shit. It's always been a handful of elite that had the answers. In Columbus's day they already knew the earth was round, nobody but the plebs and peasants thought otherwise (and they have always been the majority, just like today).

It's the same shit today. A thousand years from now, they'll be thinking it's absurd anyone ever believed all men are created equal when anything from the most basic to the most advanced scientific observation reveals otherwise.
