Shame though, think he's in for a good ride! you can see the curvature from the cruising height of a normal passenger jet "Which is probably why he is only going half normal aircraft height
Not going to buy into the flat earth thing, but a couple of points of order...
This will be mad Mike's second home made rocket flight, he is a stunt performer and this is a pay per view stunt. and has a lot more to do with his ability to build and fly a rocket than anything else.
Galileo was trolled by the established science of his day using known facts and maths to show his contention that the earth orbits the sun was the crackpot theory of a mad man
The earth is most definitely toblerone shaped, but perceived as a globe that hangs in space spinning at 5000 miles an hour whilst constantly falling into the sun at an unknown (to me) velocity, but constantly missing it. While the sun is presumably also spinning and falling into an orbit around something we can't perceive.
Bloody astro physics is messed up man!
Maybe the pastafarians have the answer | |||

"It's actually closer to 1000mph, but 5000 has a nice ring to it... also just looked it up "The Earth's orbital speed around the Sun: 30 km/s (108,000 km/h, ~70,000 mph) The Sun's orbital speed around the Galaxy: ~200 km/s (720,000 km/h, 450,000 mph)" Doesn't give a galaxy round the universe speed, but it makes you think, we don't need faster engines for interstellar travel, we just need to learn how to stop

"I do quite like this as a thought experiment. A way of exploring the idea that we shouldn't take for granted the information that we are expected to believe. We should be challenging these things. I like the ideas and explanations supporting the Flat Earth theories, they'e fun. But then I notice that a lot of these people are serious. And very thick. Then I lose interest." I haven't seen one valid supporting theory. Also i think science, physics and technology have pretty much proved beyond reasonable doubt that we are on a spherical earth. Putting a ruler up to the horizon or propelling yourself a couple of thousand feet into the sky in a giant firework isn't a serious experiment. Do they have any support from a respectable source? | |||

"I do quite like this as a thought experiment. A way of exploring the idea that we shouldn't take for granted the information that we are expected to believe. We should be challenging these things. I like the ideas and explanations supporting the Flat Earth theories, they'e fun. But then I notice that a lot of these people are serious. And very thick. Then I lose interest." Good point but,if we are expected to be sceptical about what we are told by NASA,Neil Armstrong,all the other astronauts and Galileo,why shouldn't we be sceptical about Mad Mike when he lands and assures us all that he has looked and the earth looked flat to him? | |||

"It's all explained here (from Flat Earth Society) : The earth is in the form of a disk with the North Pole in the center and Antarctica as a wall around the edge. This is the generally accepted model among members of the society. In this model, circumnavigation is performed by moving in a great circle around the North Pole. The earth is surrounded on all sides by an ice wall that holds the oceans back. This ice wall is what explorers have named Antarctica. Beyond the ice wall is a topic of great interest to the Flat Earth Society. To our knowledge, no one has been very far past the ice wall and returned to tell of their journey. What we do know is that it encircles the earth and serves to hold in our oceans and helps protect us from whatever lies beyond. Day and night cycles are easily explained on a flat earth. The sun moves in circles around the North Pole. When it is over your head, it's day. When it's not, it's night. The light of the sun is confined to a limited area and its light acts like a spotlight upon the earth. "Erm. ....... Ok | |||

You have to remember that most photographs from space are faked or photoshopped.
I'm sure if mad mike never returns in his rocket (highly possible) it will prove the theory, because he went over the edge...... | |||

"Do they explain why Christmas is in summer in Australia? " Oh come on, be reasonable... First you want me to believe the earth is round, or maybe circular or flat. Then you expect me to believe they went to the moon, and it wasn't made of cheese. But now the most mind boggling expectation ever... surely you can't seriously expect me to believe in Australians!  | |||

"They won’t let the launch happen, worried he’ll prove them wrong! Im with the flat earthers on this one.." Was the men in black suits that stopped him, while some will speculate that this was in connection to the flat earth society it's actually because of his other sponsor Burts construction limited. Obviously full details are secret so we will never know what Burt constructed that caused the men in black to act.... | |||

They say it's because it's a disc. The tricksters at NASA etc claim it to be a sphere, turning at just the same rate as earth. As if. | |||

"What about the shadow of the earth during a lunar eclipse? " Yes that is interesting. The science to explain why the shadow is smaller seems made up. "Flat earthers also believe other planets and the sun are round How do you know the moon is round and not a disc? Do you ever see it spin around? If you observe it through a telescope then yes, you can follow it turning... " Really? You have seen the moon spinning around? I thought nasa explained this scenario away by saying that the spin of the moon matches the rotation of earth and thus we always see the exact same side of the moon, and if youre on the moon, the earth they say, stays in the same spot. | |||
