Seeking to prove that a conspiracy of astronauts fabricated the shape of the Earth, a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket he built from scrap metal.
Assuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.
Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.
“It’ll shut the door on this ball earth,” Hughes said in a fundraising interview with a flat-Earth group for Saturday’s flight. Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.

That photo is giving me a bad feeling. I think the rocket is going to get confused with one arrow pointed up and the other down.

Heck, a simple airline ticket would take him to ~35,000 feet...
Loony seeks its own level?
;)
An Engineer dies and goes to hell.
He’s hot and miserable, so he decides to take action.
The A/C has been busted for a long time, so he fixes it. Things cool down quickly.
The moving walkway motor jammed, so he unjams it. People can get from place to place more easily.
The TV was grainy and unclear, so he fixes the connection to the Satellite dish and now they get hundreds of high def channels.
One day, God decides to look down on Hell to see how his grand design is working out and notices that everyone is happy and enjoying umbrella drinks. He asks the Devil what’s going on?
The Devil replies, “Things are great down here since you sent us that engineer.”
“What?? An engineer? I didn’t send you one of those, that must have been a mistake. Send him back up right this minute.”
The Devil responds, “No way! We are going to keep our engineer. We like this guy.”
God demands, “If you don’t send him to me immediately, I’ll sue!”
The Devil laughs. “Where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”
It’s that or maybe dementia.
I say go for it.
Besides, there’s nothing anyone can say to change his mind.
Well, maybe the engineer who designed those new gas can spouts. And maybe the engineer who designed those toilets you have to flush twice to clear everything.
Upon graduation the class made a cheap T-Shirt - said “When I die I know I’m going to heaven, ‘cuz I’ve already been through XXXXX.” (Name of engineering school).
I’m not sure it actually works like that, but....
Put hilLIARy in that rocket so she can make it to earth 2.
I hope to tell you, Pal...
They live and breathe right here on FreeRepublic.
“I packed last night pre-flight, zero hour nine am and I’m going to be high as a kite by then.”
Another example of public “education”....
Yup, ran into a few of them, amazing that they even exist here.
when you’ve been exposed to enough conspiracy mongering on FR, you’ll realize straight thinking is hanging on by a thread.
Those are not windows.. They are video screens.. They don’t want you to know the truth.
or something like that.
flat earthers or democrats?
probably one in the same.
I guess...
any landing you can be pulled out alive from is a good landing?
