I missed how this was supposed to prove the flatness of the world.

Loved to fish off shore about 15 miles. Used a water tower in Galveston as my way back. Fished the rigs and could see the spike of the water tower. A third grader could figure it out.

I think he was just a daredevil and rocket enthusiast that used flat earth theory for promotion and fundraising to pay for his hobby. I doubt secretly to himself he truly believed in it, but who knows. The launch that killed him was fundraising for a bigger one where his steam rocket would be launched from a balloon.

I would hate to be the person or company who designed his parachute. RIP.

He died doing what he loved. That is all anyone can ask. That and not suffer.
