Meh, close enough.

That's some crazy stuff right there. No wonder why he was called "Mad Mike''. That said i gotta give him a 8 for the effort. I know i know him trying to prove things that we've known for centuries and all was a dumb idea but it still takes some balls to launch yourself 5000 feet in the air aboard some kind of man made rocket that you assembled in your backyard so there's that lol.

That said RIP

He died doing what he loved, making the earth a little flatter

I have to assume the flat earth business was just an angle he was playing to gain eyeballs. I mean, he could het higher than 5000 feet on a hike or in a in a plane. You definitely don’t need to launch yourself in a 1:1 scale water rocket

Must have hit the firmament. Literally died proving the earth is flat and God is real.

Rest in peace hero

NASA rigged that rocket. Research it.

He may not prove that the earth is flat, but he will prove Darwin right.

I'd like to think he saw the curve before he died.
