Just found a list of eight simple ways to prove to idiots that the Earth is round
So that Flat Earth believer attempted to fly his rocket up to 1800 feet to have a look around. He made it to 1875 feet before plummeting back down
The entire exercise was performed so he could view the horizon and either confirm or deny the roundness of the Earth.
Commercial airline flights travel about 38000 feet higher than his attempt.
These are your people Lance, help them
It was sabotaged.
His thinking or the result?
Oh yeah, same thing
The Flat Earthers are like the people who think the Moon landings are fake.
You ask them why and get nonsensical responses like - Because we were in a competition with the Russians or NASA needed funding. If they didn't actually go to the moon or have a space flight program, what would they need additional money for?
It becomes a circular conversation where their main point...has no main point. It's just a cobbled together list of really bad science and even worse reasoning.

I was okay until that very last statement about the sun's spotlight.
then the dam burst
Because you fear the truth?
Hey flat earthers...tonight is going to be a total lunar eclipse. Wanna know what happens during a lunar eclipse?
The Earth is between the Sun and the moon and casts its shadow onto the moon. A ROUND shadow.
check it out
That's because as the sun revolves around the earth it dips below the edge casting a curved shadow on the moon.
"A lunar eclipse occurs about twice a year when a satellite of the sun passes between the sun and moon. This satellite is called Earth."
