Yep.
Hey, I have seen that site many times. just down south a stretch.

Considering flat heads don't even believe in satellites, I'd say that's one heckuva plan.
And this rocket guy won't get that steam-powered hunkajunk 1000 feet up. Definitely won't see any curvature from that altitude.

or was that rocket formulas? It's so confusing.

That's impressive, especially when you realize most flatties convert to a floating space pizza after only about 20 hours of YouTube videos.

What?
He should really consider changing his name to "Retarded" Mike Hughes before it's too late.

It occurs to me, depending on the landing, he could really become a flat-earther.
Would it be considered uncouth to listen for Capt. Pancake callsign on the two way?

Radio wave propagation destroys flat earth "theory" so they don't like to talk about itdo the flatties believe in radios, since the generally don't believe in satellites?

Flat heads don't like Nasa much, so he'd probably turn the job down.

Did anyone watch the video of his last launch? Dude's damned lucky to be alive. The parachute was half shredded by the rocket before it fully deployed. That was a hard landing. I'm really surprised the rest of the chute stayed together enough to slow him down before he augered in.
One parachute? One?
For his sake, I hope he has developed a better parachute system with multiple chutes. If he gets the thrust he's hoping for, that last system won't last two seconds.
What a maroon!

Yep.
I would be concerned also about anyone else he might hurt by what I would think is a pretty strong likelihood of malfunction. I know it will be out in the desert, but still.
sunvalleylaw
Yep.
I mean at a certain point, isn't this about the same as Russian Roulette? It seems at a certain point that the authorities would get involved. For his safety and the safety of others. Darned near cause for an involuntary commitment.

Apparently, there are still some in Twin Falls with bad tastes in their mouths after that. He apparently stiffed some people on the way out of town. They didn't put that little tidbit in with the Knievel toys.
