"Hughes promised the flat-Earth community that he would expose the conspiracy with his steam-powered rocket, which will launch from a heavily modified mobile home - though he acknowledged that he still had much to learn about rocket science."
Good ruck kid.
Go big or go home!
*Goes to hospital'.
Looks like he's gone home as he's not allowed to launch.Originally Posted by Dazzler
1,800 ft??
Would he not be better and safer in a hot air ballon that would go about 10 times higher?
Loon
How do these folks explain a lunar eclipse?
Or take a trip to the Burj Khalifa's 148th floor observation deck at 1,821ft.
Has he never been in an aeroplane? Proper nut job.
Only in the US of A...
If he actually launches himself in that thing, I can only see one possible outcome. A return to earth that regardless of whether it is flat or round, does not go well.
So clever my foot fell off.
Rocket Maaaan!
But it won't be a 'long, long time' before he touches down.
Incredible... as mentioned above just get in a plane? Anyone who has done a skydive or parachute will know you can see the curve of the earth. You don't need a homemade rocket.
Go to Jail, go directly to Jail. Do not pass GO, do not collect £200.
Twat.
Old Sarum 15k ft. It wasnt me but I watched her video playback and curve was clear to see... was it just a trick of the lense then?

What I find incredible is that most flat earthers are American. This is a country with multiple time zones, and where the sunrise and sunset times vary from 15-20 mins from east coast to west.
A simple phone call at sunrise between east/west coast flat earthers would destroy their conspiracy theory.
I came across some flat earth videos on YouTube.
(A Brit this time...)
If you ever want to convince yourself (if you are not already convinced, that is) that there are some fearsome idiots using up the earth's scarce resources, do take a look.
What is terrifying is that these people will have received some level of basic education (surely?) and will no doubt have repeatedly been offered contradictory views to their own - but actually supported by simple evidence and rational argument.
And yet they continue in their idiocy.
Truly depressing
I used to work with an intelligent chap who told me Darwin’s theory of evolution had been disproved and was genuinely shocked that I was unaware of the fact!

I have just joined a flat earth Facebook group for the entertainment. The mind goes numb...
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
What a total pillock.
Which one as there seem to be several

Its a closed group and it's in German. I estimate 50% true flat earthers, 25% eating popcorn and 25% trolling the natives. Makes for good entertainment.Which one as there seem to be several

Just found this in my flat earth group. Dunno what it is supposed to prove, but a nice example of the type of garbage which they use as proof that the earth is indeed flat.

Perhaps Eddie can introduce a 'Flat-Earth discussions forum' for all the luddites, conspiracy theorists and flat earthers on here.
Just stumbled across this on my Facebook forum. 😁

Brilliant!
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
LOL - Elon should strap some of them Flat Earth Society members onto this next SpaceX flight if seeing is believing.
God bless The US of A!
How exciting.
Do not mock this guy! Everyone thought Noah was crazy until the floods came :p
Most of these modern flat earthers seem to hold in high regard a book called '200 proofs Earth is not a spinning ball' by some fella called Eric Dubay, saying it is irrefutable proof that we live on a flat Earth. I've seen loads of comments about it saying you must read it and it will blow your mind.
I downloaded a pdf of it out of curiosity and gave it a quck flick though, it's the biggest load of gibberish i've ever seen.
The few of the 200 proofs i bothered to read were all pretty much the same and completely ignored the conservation of momentum
If we live on a spinning ball, why when we jump in the air do we not land in a different spot?
If we live on a spinning ball, why can't helicopters take off, hover, then land in a different spot?
If we live on a spinning ball, why does a cannon ball go the same distance whether it's fired north, south, east, or west, surely it would go less distance fired east and more fired west?
If the earth is spinning at 1000 miles an hour and so is the air surrounding it, how can planes fly against such a strong head wind????
If the earth is spinning at 1000 miles an hour how can a plane travelling at 500mph ever get to an eastbound destination???
In reply to those i just thought, well then please explain if travelling in a car and i throw a ball up in the air, why does it land back in my hand and not shoot to the back of the car as soon as it left my hand?
I really must get the strength together to read the rest of it as i'm sure there must be some giggles in there amongst all the face palming despair at the idiocy of it.
It really does seem like it's some kind of comedy wind up club. Maybe the members all meet up and have a right old giggle about how crazy we all think they are, when secretly they all know it’s just a laugh.
On the other hand, maybe they really are so dim they can’t see the wood for the trees.
Sounds to me like the flat earth thing is nothing but a ruse to get funding for his hobby. Fair play to him for every cent he squeezed out of those mugs.
Thanks. You made my day.

Well done sir! I doft my cap to him. He might not yet have proved the flat-earth theory but fair play for trying!"I'm tired of people saying I chickened out and didn't build a rocket. I'm tired of that stuff. I manned up and did it," he said.
Attention seeking chickenheads, with minds like the contents of a colostomy bag...
That good? Make him a politician...immediately...(link):
This was actually the second time he’s constructed and launched a rocket. He said he jumped on a private property in Winkelman, Arizona, on Jan. 30, 2014, and traveled 1,374 feet. He collapsed after that landing and needed three days to recover.
But there wasn’t any footage of him climbing into the craft, leading some to question whether he even took off.
This one was going to be shown online through Noize TV.
“My story really is incredible,” Hughes said. “It’s got a bunch of story lines — the garage-built thing. I’m an older guy. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, plus the Flat Earth. The problem is it brings out all the nuts also, people questioning everything. It’s the downside of all this.”
His future plans are simple: Fill out the paperwork to run for governor.
“This is no joke,” Hughes said. “I want to do it.”
Indeed.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
You think you've heard it all and then you read this nonsense, lots of fun to read though. Thanks for the post
Fair play to the guy, his drive and balls match his big gob. I suspect his willy matches his small brain though...
Maybe he was the evidence?
