saltydawg Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I like that he used the flat-earthers' gullibility to fund the project when normal people wouldn't. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfinnely68 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Looks like its postponed until next week... aparently the FAA wouldnt sign off on his suicide so he's moving the launch to private property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a flat earther, but I had the misfortune of debating some. They believe density, not gravity, keeps stuff on the surface of the earth. They also believe the earth is plate shaped, with a wall of ice around the perimeter. The stars are not stars, either...just visible objects beyond the firmament. I was added to a FB page run by a prominent FE'r, when I brought up well-established theories like the moon effecting tides, I was told I was conditioned by the illuminati (via NASA) to believe that stuff.

pat the nat Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Splat. Right into the firmament. Maybe the ether will cushion the blow. I like to see a man of advancing years throwing caution to the wind. Its inspiring in a way. More coffee hun? Yeah, just keep it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadogface Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 For a guy with no formal training his first steam punk flight is pretty impressive, especially since he lived through it. I am looking forward to his second. sweetheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfinnely68 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) He's saying tuesday is the new launch date. I couldn't understand his rationale but somehow launching from private property will avoid the pesky government and their "rules" that blocked him from launching on public property today. Im pretty sure the faa will shut him down again... I'm hoping he goes all astronaut farmer and launches anyway.

BrianBM Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 No doubt the FAA has that same boring, bureaucratic concern that DJ mentioned, for people anywhere near his flight path. Steam powered rockets, that's a new one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dena Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 The ROCKET and the Song By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow altered by dena I shot an rocket into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the rocket, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
