Another Surprise - The Earth Ain't Flat

How about this dipstick?
Flat Earth believers have one more thing to hang their hat on, their very own Flat Earth rocket man. "Mad" Mike Hughes finally launched his homemade rocket into the sky, with him aboard, in an attempt to prove that the Earth is indeed as flat as a pancake.

The launch, which took place on Saturday afternoon in the Mojave Desert in California sent Mad Mike 1,875 feet into the sky in his big green rocket. The rocket, labeled with "RESEARCH FLAT EARTH", operated surprisingly smoothly given it was homemade and built on a very small budget. The rocket was built using scrap metal and estimates indicate the final cost to be about $20,000.


He spends 20 grand to go up 1,875 feet to see if the Earth is really flat. He could have spent 80 bucks to take a short plane ride at 33,000 feet and get a much better view.

      Z, So if I gifted you (and a couple of your friends) ice cream at a place near your locale, would you go?

      Of course I'd go, but I won't let you...even if I cherish even the idea! So nice!

      I LOVE Rocky Road, but COFFEE is probably my very fave!!! What's yours?

      Gosh darn it Z. No Strings at all !

      Mine? I like a few of them. It would be hard to pick out just one. I do like iced coffee though ! Well, it's got to have some chocolate in it and toffee. Like a health bar Klondike.

      Bunk, yes that was surprising. 1875 feet is a bit low for a parachute opening. (I don't know how he got down actually. Wasn't That interested)
