He's gonna need it too (Medicaid).
I love folks like this. Even when I'm having a bad day, I can reflect and believe... "I'm not the stupidest out there"

Gotta give it to him though - he's the only American to ride an American made rocket in quite some time

So he's been up half a mile eh? (2600 feet or so...something any Cessna can do very easily)

But this clown wants to strap his bum to a rocket?

Darwin award material for sure

His way to get laid I bet. I can just imagine him at a bar chatting up a lady he only just met, after a few drinks he would suggest going back to his van to see ..well ..to see his rocket.

Anyways I have a proposal to prove the Earth is flat so I am looking for funding..I need to place an observatory on a hill top I own to house a large telescope with an advanced astronomy camera so I can photograph the Golden Gate Bridge and show the world is flat ..all I need is the observatory to keep the gear out of the weather...oh also I need a high end astronomy mount so I can get the bearings for the bridge perfect before I start photographing. Please send only amounts of one thousand dollars or more to keep book keeping costs under control..small amounts cost more than the donation (I learnt that from a preacher going for his third private jet).
And doners will be the first to get the bridge photos to show to their friends and prove conclusively the world is flat....now how to work that into a line for some night prowling.

I just now looked on YouTube and he sure is getting some publicity..and U guess that translates into dollars and cents in the USA.
It surprises me he has not killed himself.

Nobody has told him about hot air balloons, much safer and it can achieve the height he wants to prove his thesis of a flat earth. Then again the publicity wouldn't be as good.

I watched an interview and he admits he can't prove anything at the altitude he may get to and said it was more about publising the flat Earth movement...
