We need multiple cameras rolling (ground based + on-board) when this goes down.
This would be a prime PPV opportunity. I'd pay more to see this than any Mayweather fight!

My German mom made me wear Lederhosen to kindergarten on my first day. Here in the States. It's a large part of what made me what I am today.

So help me out here, how do the flaters explain the rotation of the plants as well as the sun? Do they not think we have had hundreds of space missions and witness first hand that liquid forms into spheres in space?

Now if they are suggesting that the universe is a hologram well that is an interesting argument and if thought through provides great dialogue on many different fronts.

Here is an interesting article that may help their argument out...some... but not entirely.

Hmmm, he plans to get to the dizzying altitude of 1800 feet.
Ya, a homemade rocket sounds like the best way to get that high.
The passengers above him on the jet airliner will have a spectacular view of his mission.
