The flat Earther left and returned to Earth to leave this life yesterday. He was the 64 year old, steam powered rocket guy in California. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/flat-earth-daredevil-mad-mike-hughes-dead-rocket-crash-956948/  | ||

Chute deployed at launch and was ripped off. Looked like a Lawn-Jart after that. I will miss him. He was entertaining. | ||

Sadly predictable. I wonder if he got the view he was hoping for? | ||

"Chute deployed at launch and was ripped off. Looked like a Lawn-Jart after that. I will miss him. He was entertaining." I hope I'm spoken of at least as well as that upon my demise. | ||

Brad, I have your's wrote out, "Drive shaft exited the flaming hub on his bike impaling his backside and wadding up his panties, but he held his line till it high sided over the cliff. Looked like that famous wreck at the T.T. on the Isle of Man. I'll miss him and that funny half hat he wore. No one could roast a dog like him" | ||

Even sky diving has redundant parachutes. His call I'm sure. | ||

I've been vacillating between two eulogies: "Never A Dull Moment" "It's All About The Shits And Giggles" Hard to say. | ||

Hey. All of youn's. Listen. | ||

I have a setup in my shed that turns any 2 liter into a 125 psi water rocket. Plugs into my compressor. | ||

So if the earth is flat the moon is flat too. The sun is flat too. But if the earth is flat why at the same time people in different places see the sun at different angle? Why there is night in America and day in Europe at the same time if the earth is flat? If you call to China from USA and ask them what time is it they will tell you not the same time as at your place which means the earth is not flat. You don't need to fly in to the space to figure this out. | ||

I want a membership card for the "Flat Earth Society". Patch is $4.50 | ||

I find it all amusing. | ||

The earth is little bit flatter in one spot now. | ||

Oh, snap. | ||

Back in the days when I worked space rockets service engineer on launching space rockets I had a crazy thought that I can hide under the space craft structure right before transportation the space rocket to the launch to fly in to the space. Of cause there is no way I would survive for long time because of the space rocket structure is not air tight. Later I applied to astronaut work and passed through special medical exams but for some unknown health reasons my candidacy was refused. Nowadays I just fly on my paraglider.

He may have been planning on punching through the disk. | ||
| Tpehak |
That makes sense. If the earth is flat it should be thin in perpendicular direction so probably he thought if the earth is is thin it should be easy to puncture it through. (Message edited by TPEHAK on February 27, 2020) | ||

Makes as much sense as his other thoughts. | ||
| Tpehak |
I think police needs to investigate this case very thoroughly. Because of it might be somebody who purposely set the parachute the way it acted. | ||
| Ourdee |
My thought was it wasn't engineered to handle the extra thrust with the chute securing mechanism. Could have been NASA? | ||
| Pwnzor |
Probably had some dirt on Hillary. | ||
