Mike C Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 This happened a few days ago. He's that crazy flat earther that wanted to get up to altitude to prove that he can see the "flat earth". Frankly that tiny rocked couldn't go high enough anyway. Looks like he went splat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 What the actual f***? I'm sure this will turn into some conspiracy where the government shot him down to protect the "globe lie". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I kinda have to hand it to the guy for having man-sized nads. He went out doing something he thought was important, and was willing to risk his life for it. There just aren't very many people around these days who are wired that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This padded room has cable TV and a high-speed net connection, right? Assuming so, put me down for Plan B. (Also, I prefer Doritos.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) This is sad, really. He had made a few attempts at this before, but I have to think his motivation may have been a paycheck from the Science Channel rather than proving anything. Guess the Earth is still ROUND until the next conspiracy minded adventurer comes along. Edited February 26, 2020 by STYRENE-SURFER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 There is always a curtain sadness when anyone gets killed even if it is sort of self inflicted. I guess the chute didn't work the way it was supposed to. I wonder if the Science Channel is going to show this guy crashing ?

LDO Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) The Science Channel is a joke, with its ridiculous shows like Mysteries of the Abandoned, Bermuda Triangle, and other garbage. Now they have helped a crackpot kill himself in the quest for junk tv ratings. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I believe mis-wired is more accurate. There is a line between courage and madness. It's a fine line, but there is one. Base jumping after years of skydiving training and experience. - Courage Summiting Everest after years of training and experience. - Courgage Shooting oneself into the air in a never-tested-before steam powered rocket built by amateurs in a garage. - Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is an excellent contender, we are only 2 months into 2020 - there might be someone even crazier getting ready to compete for the award. But I do have to admit that Mad Mike will be hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wm David Green Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 'Mad Mike' would have probably carried on, and on, until he had built a bigger rocket in order to hit the moon and make it ring like a bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Funny that you should bring up the Moon. "Mad Mike", according to unreliable sources, was planning a fact-finding lunar mission to find Alice Kramden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
