If I Had A Week I Couldn't Explain To You All The Reasons Why This Guy Is An Idiot

If I had a week I couldn't tell you all the reasons why this guy is an idiot. Of course every single piece of rocket science research will be disproven by this muppet and his Wiley Coyote rocket. When you don't understand the science behind your stunt then maybe you best not attempt it in the first place.

 
Seeking to prove that a conspiracy of astronauts fabricated the shape of the Earth, a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket he built from scrap metal.

Assuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.

Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.

“It’ll shut the door on this ball earth,” Hughes said in a fundraising interview with a flat-Earth group for Saturday’s flight. Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.

Hughes promised the flat-Earth community that he would expose the conspiracy with his steam-powered rocket, which will launch from a heavily modified mobile home — though he acknowledged that he still had much to learn about rocket science.

“This whole tech thing,” he said in the June interview. “I’m really behind the eight ball.”

If I've learned anything this passed year, it's that there ARE people so stupid and ignorant that exist in this and other countries. I can't quite wrap my head around this level of dumb. Hope his 'rocket' aborts, like his mother should have. But then again, he didn't get this stupid on his own.

I know, that's mean but Christ!

He doesn't even have to READ a book. Just watch anything on Discovery for any length of time and you will realize what a terrible this idea is.

The good news: He will shortly be removing himself from the gene pool in an ironically Darwinian fashion. Launch away, good buddy! And happy landings! (Happy for us anyway.)
