Of-fucking-course.

"“I don’t believe in science,” said Hughes, whose main sponsor for the rocket is Research Flat Earth."
..
...this is..
..
..this is gonna end well.
The fact this is reportedly a 'steam-powered rocket' being sponsored by flat earth is just..
man
so fuckin' rich it should be used as an ice-cream topping
I hope someone captures the "launch"
That looks impossible to survive right?
Only 35 people died
62 lived
It didn't crash that hard into the ground.
That flat earther, could just buy a fucking boat. Or a plane ticket across the pacific.
Here's what will happen: dumbass is going to die in a big ball of fire, other flat earthers will believe the government sabotaged his flaming coffin.
Flat earthers are a fantastic example of how important the perception of reality is, though
I was thinking about this a few weeks back
how one could actually change a flat earthers mind
but because so much of it is based in conspiracy, you're already pretty much screwed
Even if you put them in a fucking space shuttle and blasted them into orbit
They'd simply argue that it was all a setup and that you had put them in a high-tech version of those rides you see at Disneyland
You'd literally have to let them open the airlock and die in the vacuum before they'd be convinced
And then they'd be dead
..and then their mates on the online forum would probably conclude that he was murdered for revealing TEH TWOOFF!
Get on a boat. Sail toward where the edge is. Done.
edgy.
They have to deny the most elementary aspects of navigation, such as compass, or where the sun rises and sets, in order to claim the boat got turned around or something.
But I honestly think they're just larpers, pretending to be retards.
I could say "yeah, rape is morally wrong", but that won't stop rape. Rape is just a part of nature, and whether or not you think it's "morally wrong" doesn't matter. Because rape is just a fact, something which happens. If I were to say that I don't want it to happen, it's just as much my own emotional decision to say that as the rapist thinks it's his own emotional decision to do it; because there's no authority but yourself. Because there's no objective morality, which is just an objective statement which you can arrive at yourself if you realize morality is a social construct - then you can realize that deciding to rape someone was never a logical decision, just as much as saying you don't want to be raped is a logical decision; it's an emotional decision. It may be a fact that emotional decisions happen, but you can only say that people do or do not want to be raped; you can't derive an is from that aught, as the philosopher Hume might say.
YOU CAN'T REACH THE EDGE BRUH
THERE'S AN ICE WALL
AND THE GOVERNMENT **WON'T LET YOU REACH IT**
Saw on /r/space that since he's using steam to power his "rocket" he won't actually get very high(A ceiling of 2 miles, generously considered), so he's probably just going to confirm his own bias if he even gets off the ground
