..this is gonna end well.

2017-11-21 15:09:15 UTC  

The fact this is reportedly a 'steam-powered rocket' being sponsored by flat earth is just..

2017-11-21 15:09:17 UTC  

man

2017-11-21 15:09:33 UTC  

so fuckin' rich it should be used as an ice-cream topping

2017-11-21 15:11:11 UTC  

I hope someone captures the "launch"

That looks impossible to survive right?

2017-11-21 15:22:06 UTC  

Only 35 people died

2017-11-21 15:22:14 UTC  

62 lived

2017-11-21 15:27:42 UTC  

It didn't crash that hard into the ground.

2017-11-21 15:27:48 UTC  

I guess it was a slow descent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2017-11-21 15:28:57 UTC  

That flat earther, could just buy a fucking boat. Or a plane ticket across the pacific.

2017-11-21 15:30:45 UTC  

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.

2017-11-21 15:33:23 UTC  

Flat earthers are a fantastic example of how important the perception of reality is, though

2017-11-21 15:33:28 UTC  

I was thinking about this a few weeks back

2017-11-21 15:33:37 UTC  

how one could actually change a flat earthers mind

2017-11-21 15:33:49 UTC  

but because so much of it is based in conspiracy, you're already pretty much screwed

2017-11-21 15:34:00 UTC  

Even if you put them in a fucking space shuttle and blasted them into orbit

2017-11-21 15:34:28 UTC  

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

2017-11-21 15:34:43 UTC  

You'd literally have to let them open the airlock and die in the vacuum before they'd be convinced

2017-11-21 15:34:46 UTC  

And then they'd be dead

2017-11-21 15:35:21 UTC  

..and then their mates on the online forum would probably conclude that he was murdered for revealing TEH TWOOFF!

2017-11-21 15:35:41 UTC  

Get on a boat. Sail toward where the edge is. Done.

2017-11-21 15:35:56 UTC  

edgy.

2017-11-21 15:37:55 UTC  

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.

2017-11-21 15:39:27 UTC  

But I honestly think they're just larpers, pretending to be retards.

2017-11-21 15:42:59 UTC  

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.

2017-11-21 15:53:21 UTC  

YOU CAN'T REACH THE EDGE BRUH

2017-11-21 15:53:23 UTC  

THERE'S AN ICE WALL

2017-11-21 15:53:30 UTC  

AND THE GOVERNMENT **WON'T LET YOU REACH IT**

2017-11-21 16:06:52 UTC  

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

2017-11-21 16:23:31 UTC  

It's more likely it leaks into the cockpit and it turns into a very, very hot sauna.

2017-11-21 16:27:15 UTC  

Reminded me of the stories of me163 test pilots being dissolved by t-stoff propellant leaking into the flight cabin

2017-11-21 16:28:53 UTC  

Scenes of jubilation in Salisbury, the capital of Zimbabwe.

2017-11-21 16:32:11 UTC  

Ok, so he apparently already flew one of his rockets once.

2017-11-21 16:32:29 UTC  

Look at all those holes in the parachute.

2017-11-21 16:32:32 UTC  

wot a mad lad

2017-11-21 16:32:36 UTC  

r/madlads

The article mentions that; but it also says he collapsed after landing and took three days to recover
