He may be raking in tens of thousands on gofundme, and call it off at the last moment.

I read that whole article. Did you watch the YouTube video of his first launch in the desert. I was cracking up!

LOL! I heard that an airline pilot at over 10,000 feet radio’d the control tower and said we just passed a guy in a lawn chair. LOL! If that was Larry, I have nothing but praise for the guy.

Actually, for a first flight it was a success.
Looks like Hydrogen Peroxide/ catalyst motor.

"That he’s an idiot?"

Oh, I believe it's a sphere. I mean, that's if we really do have three (or so) dimensions....

I just lost about 20 IQ points listening to that.

Maybe a bottle of bourbon will bring them back ...

He thinks the Earth is a flat disc like a DVD. A boat would solve nothing. If he thought his 1st rocket trip was painful, his 2nd rocket trip will be a blast ...

There’s an entire sub-group of morons who believe the Earth is flat. Amazing.

How can it be global warming if the Earth is flat? It’d have to be “discal warming” or something...

Um, put a gopro on the nose of the rocket, that way the rocket will not have to carry his ass all the way up

"4 dimensions"

Well, that's 3, or so.
"Anyway, if the earth is flat, how does it stay up?"

Oh, it rides on the back of a turtle.

OK, so what holds the turtle up"?

Ahhh, it's turtles all the way down....
