WTF of the day:
He believes what he believes, including that the Earth is flat. He knows this thought is a conundrum, given that he’s about to launch himself into the atmosphere.
Down the road, he’s intending to build a rocket that takes him to space, so he can snap a picture and see with his own eyes.

|
|
...and you wonder why his neighbors call him a 'space cadet'!

Well, once he does take those pics, he'll undoubtedly come up with a theory of how as you go higher and higher off the surface of the earth, the atmosphere creates a sense of curvature, and of course needing to throw in Einstein, as all these new-age idiots do, they'll start babbling about space-time curvature affecting the camera lens.

Have you told her that only a very large mass can bend space sufficiently, and that noticable gravity comes long before any optical effect?

Of course he has. Mrs Griff has been pretending to be OG for years just so we don't realise she buried him in the garden a couple of years ago.

No.
It's easy to tell that I haven't: I'm still alive.

Yes, and if we can get him to use a really powerful rocket to reach escape velocity...

Then he'll spot that it's turtles all the way down!

Only if he looks from underneath?

You have to admit it would be very hilarious if they were right.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

A self-taught rocket hobbyist (not a scientist, dear AP News) is about to blow himself up, by the looks of it.
One needs to generate a lot of force, whilst encased in a metal container that is being dropped from a balloon. If the direction is wrong, all that force will be pointing towards the earth, not away from it.

I can't help but point out the irony that Elon Musk is also self-taught.

he’s about to launch himself into the atmosphere.
He should then keep going, away, in a straight line.

I don't know if there is an official one. Do you have a design in mind?

I like the orange splat in the middle. Not quite the explosion that might represent this particular Darwin award, but a good general use one.

If the earth is flat, how thick is it, and do people live on the other side?

You missed the point entirely: is the turtle male or female?
