'I Don't Believe in Science', Flat-Earther Set to Launch Himself in Own Rocket

&gt;I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that&#x27;s not science, that&#x27;s just a formula<p>Wow, I don&#x27;t even know what to say. Does he think these formulas magically appeared in text books one day?

It would be much safer, and cheaper for him to just buy an airline ticket if he wants to get up in the air. He&#x27;ll get much higher as well, by several times.

Thankfully, science works even if you don&#x27;t believe in it, that&#x27;s kind of the whole point.

Science is not a belief system like religion. It&#x27;s not whether you believe or not. In fact, you can completely disbelieve it and it changes nothing about science.<p>One of the reason I am disappointed every time I hear the climate change debacle it&#x27;s because one side is deemed stupid about not believing what the other side believes. It doesn&#x27;t matter what you believe, go to a polluted city and breathe the air. Drink from a polluted river.<p>You can believe the earth is flat. But when you are launching a satellite, make sure you follow the theories that cater to your model so you don&#x27;t crash it.<p>Call the earth flat all you want, just make sure my GPS works just fine.

This is worth the live stream, for sure.

His website is pretty gear. The tagline &quot;The Most Innovative Man in NASCAR History&quot; has a nice ring to it. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.madmikehughes.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.madmikehughes.com&#x2F;</a>

Crossing my fingers that this guy gets a Darwin Award.

Merica!
