This story has me puzzled. This guy is ‘smart’ enough to build a rocket that gets him more than 1000 feet off the ground, yet he believes the earth is flat. Hmmm. Oh, and no mention of any Speedmaster worn on his ‘flight’... http://nationalpost.com/news/world/...cial&utm_source=Facebook#link_time=1522032171
Jalopnik.com/ Gizmodo.com has video and has covered his saga. He also claims not to believe in science. https://gizmodo.com/at-long-last-fl...FrP94acdiJkIIncsV8EaOV4TFpFpt5XnPQ8Odkinfp_cd
"and ridicule from some sceptics" "Sceptics"????? Yeah, it is shitty when somebody doesn't believe you! Color me a skeptic over the writer's and editor's skills.
Is anyone a skeptic regarding whether this guy ends up a future 'Darwin Award' recipient? Perhaps the rocketeer went a bit 'sceptic' during lift-off?
That would make a great story. Then Mac Weldon and Fruit of the Loom should be advertising in the articles!
I followed this story as it unfolded and look forward in the next chapter of the saga, his building a rocket to get him into space so he can prove once and for all that the earth is flat.
"Sceptic" is an accepted alternative spelling of Skeptic. I've read that there are at least six dialects of the English language with a number of accepted alternative spellings.
hurt his back too! Surprised his head didn't come off! Flipping 'eck that was a fast take off. Can't help thinking a boat trip would probably have been cheaper ...and safer!
I guess it hasn’t occurred to him that sending a camera up might be a little easier. Love that he thinks John Glenn is a paid actor for NASA.
Someone should advise him that, for his next attempt, he might avoid being hurt if he wore his light fall suit!
The soiled toilet this man passes off as an intellect has me presuming he's hard at work on arm flapping techniques to combat his impending duel with gravity.
