    I wonder if he launched from Ballarat he might of gotten higher due to the extraordinary amount of obnoxious gases in the lower atmosphere.

    Some good lift thermals there I reckon. Handy for aerodynamics!

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    No, once the launch vehicle struck the steel ladder nothing could have saved this quixotic adventurer from his own folly.

    Ever consider writing for a newspaper?
    “No Gul, I’m not taking a job in a dying industry.”
    OK but I could totally see Dan Rather or some anchor (that doesn’t date me so horridly) saying this.
    “Thats not the newspaper business, Gul.”
    Yeah I KNOW THAT. Jesus Christ you are impossible.

    I suppose that the idea of gravity is hard to grasp at times.
    Imagine turning it off for a while and watching Glen and VG falling off into the abyss. while we in the UK are hanging onto lampposts for dear life. Meanwhile a few explorers at the north pole REALLY feel on top of the world.

    Hang on, we base everything on our poles. Without them, which way is up and which way is down. Glen may till be getting the last laugh. :yum::yum::yum:

    Well, it's arguable he was willing to die for it. Maybe he strongly believed he would succeed. Jumping out of an airplane without a parachute because the person is convinced they wouldn't die doesn't make them a hero either. I feel this was a similar situation.

    The Earth may or may not be flat.... But it sure is hard.
     
  10. This is a man who no doubt saw pictures of the Earth, a sphere, video, countless stories of men traveling AROUND the GLOBE, and had the balls to question all of that, and to call it all a flat out lie...a lie perpetrated by the Jews to convince us the Earth is round for some reason...and then he built a shitty rocket or something that didn't work probably because the Earth is round and his math was therefore all fucked up, and he died. If that isn't a hero, I don't know what is..........

    It's not the descent that kills you... It's the sudden stop.

    Did you see that parachute fly off at the beginning of the video?

    Apparently that was for the rocket.
     
  17. You can't orbit a flat earth. Unless you go around it, I guess, but then he would have had to avoid the pillars that are holding it up, which are attached to...? I'm sure one of the four angels who guard the corners of the Earth would have helped him....

    I am no rocket scientist
    But I have watched Hidden Figures
    wouldn't he get stuck in oribit?
    Did he have a capsule to survive in?

    LMFAO!! When I first heard about this, I thought about those old films showing those old flying machines crashing and exploding, etc.
