Do we not have a rocket forum? We find out Saturday if the Earth is flat I guess.

How come I can't see Canada from the south shore of Lake Superior. It's only 150 miles away.

Perhaps you need to see Sarah Palin's optometrist!

Flat-earther Mike Hughes fails to launch homemade rocket - The Washington Post

A man who claims that Earth is flat tried to leave it in a homemade rocket Saturday but failed to overcome the gravitational force of a 13,166,800,000,000,000,000,000,000-pound sphere directly beneath him.

I am just sooooooo surprised he did not launch.

 

[airbiscuit]

I like that he has a steam powered rocket. I wonder if he got the plans from Jules Verne?

 

[airbiscuit]

Even this guy had a better plan.

Maybe he was using a hydrogen peroxide propellant with catalyst, might be called a steam powered rocket.

I remember reading back in the early 70's that a group of islamists claimed the earth was flat and the USA were just trying to discredit them by saying it was round so it must be true, pass the cat please.

Some moron well connected imam in KSA is saying that even today. Even in TV with English subtitles. All the space program is a Holywood trick. The universe is pear shape. And Kaba in Makkah is center of universe. The sad thing is that there is nobody to tell him to shut up. Well, there are locals who are embarrased by that and would like to tell him to shut up but are afraid to do so. They don't want to have their heads chopped off in front of a mosque.

Why do you, in the Northern Hemisphere, see the "Big Dipper" constellation and the North Star whilst I, in the Southern Hemisphere, can't see them?

Why do I, in the Southern Hemisphere, see the "Southern Cross" constellation and you North Hemispherical residents cannot?

AND, at the same time, you see the constellation "Orion" standing on his feet whereas I see him doing a hand-stand?!?

:scratchchin:

You live in totally weird country. There is something wrong with it. Like the Sun supposed to move from left to right. But in Australia has to have something special. The Sun moves from right to left. How it is possible that that you celebrate Christmas in swimsuit on a beach while we are freezing our buts off. How your goverment does it is way beyond my understanding.

Probably Diet Coke and Mentos powered.

Hmmm - Diet Coke & Mentos. Now that might launch you and your bar stool off the ground.

Shara doesn't need an optometrist - she needs a psychiatrist.

Lordy - we all know, mainland Russia is visible from most anywhere in Alaska, ha,ha.
