Sad to read this. He is one of the few eathers trying to prove the earth is flat rather than to disprove that the earth is sphere. He would have failed in the end, but he chased for an answer.
- tyingq 7y agoThe article points out that he probably wasn't really a flat earther... “I don’t think he believed it,” Shuster said. “He did have some governmental conspiracy theories. But don’t confuse it with that flat Earth thing. That was a PR stunt we dreamed up.”
- soneil 7y agoIt certainly seems so. 2015 kickstarter [0] mentions nothing of FE at all. Just wants to break his previous record. Kickstarter flops, hard. 2017 gofundme [1] sells itself as $7500 of sponsorship in return for the prime advertising spot on the side of the rocket. None of these rockets were about trying to prove or disprove anything, he was no more scientist than evel knievel was. The FE community were openly courted for cash, but cash was the only relationship between FE and the rockets.
