Look at that rocket... I 100% guarantee you he got this idea from watching looney tunes. That is some Wile E. Coyote type poo poo he is gonna strap himself into.

If you ask me... this guy is a great American. I donno what I mean by that exactly but something about this makes me think this dude should be up there on Mount Rushmore.

So is the rocket going to race out from under him while he stays suspended in midair, blinks twice and holds up a "help" sign?

Well *I* only read the New Yorker and eat Fancy Feast.
We all know he’s going to die and that we can laugh at that, but what really sucks is that it means his “research” will be inconclusive and flat-earthers will smugly carry on their madness, and probably even blame the failure on whatever conspirators are starring in their current delusions.

His last words will be "Oh poo poo", uttered when he notices that the tiny emergency chute he believed would let him land safely back on the ground was left outside the rocket next to a half-drank bottle of Natty Light.

He has done one other rocket launch, and the g-forces hosed his body up for days

Look at this loving parachute at the end of that flight:

Look at that chute from his last flight... I say there is a 50% chance he goes to pull his chute tomorrow and instead his luggage all comes out everywhere, or an anvil or some poo poo

Dude if he comes back to earth fully intact there is no way he steps out of that rocket saying "I was wrong the earth is round". He'll probably be on some poo poo saying not only is the earth flat, but he bumped into the ceiling

The punchline is that he plans to only go up to 1800 feet. He would get a much better picture from a plane but using a rocket for the sake of using a rocket is pretty cool I guess.

Part of me hopes his rocket blows up so that flat-earthers will start saying how the government blew up his rocket to prevent the truth from getting out there.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

"But the Saturday’s planned launch will pose a challenge to the daredevil. Not only was the 2014 flight a quarter of the distance he expects to fly this Saturday, the previous rocket was based on round-earth technology, the Washington Post reported."

So what the gently caress is this flat-earth technology he's apparently using on this flight? Alchemy and steampunk gears?

Is anyone going to stream this? I don't necessarily want to see a man die on live television, but I have to imagine this is going to be a spectacular failure.

Wait

1800 feet? That's loving nothing. He just wants to kill himself in one of the sickest ways possible.

What kind of proof is this guy expecting to find at 1800 ft? I was at 30000 ft yesterday and the results were inconclusive, but I was also distracted watching the movie Frank.

That's government disinfo. Those "windows" on the plane? Holograms to continue the false flag round earth BS.

This rocket will 100% prove the Earth is flat. At 1800 feet up, Earth "scientists" would have you believe you'd see a curve in the Earth. FAKE NEWS. "Awesome Pioneer and Truther" Mike Hughes will finally break the bubble on the Government/Airline/Reptilian conspiracy. He'll take a picture, you'll see the giant ice wall that surrounds the flat earth, plus the UN troops that shoot anyone who dares approach that wall to silence them. Godspeed, Mr. Hughes!
