>Wan Hu, a possibly-apocryphal[32] 16th-century Chinese official, is said to have attempted to launch himself into outer space in a chair to which 47 rockets were attached. The rockets exploded, and it is said that neither he nor the chair were ever seen again.
>Max Valier (1895–1930) invented liquid-fuelled rocket engines as a member of the 1920s German rocket society Verein für Raumschiffahrt. On 17 May 1930, an alcohol-fuelled engine exploded on his test bench in Berlin, killing him instantly.[25]
>"Mad" Mike Hughes (1955-2020) was killed when the parachute failed to deploy during a crash landing while piloting his homemade steam-powered rocket.[26]

I dont get it.

This guy was very clever. Look at that rocket. A steam powered rocket, what is more.That takes skill and intelligence to build. He had previously flown it it successfully.

How can someone with the intelligence to build such a rocket subscribe to the flat earth nonsense? Where simple experiments and elementary reasoning confirms a spherical earth? Aristotle and others figured this out over 2000 years ago. Today we have a plethora of modern evidence and tests which can be added to prove it.

Yet this guy, who is capable of building a rocket, which previously successfully flew, a feat requiring ingenuity, engineering, physics and math. That requires rational thought and critical thinking, unbiased observation, experimentation. Yet he throws all this, all reasoning and evidence, out the window and says the earth is flat. I dont understand how can someone can hold such contradictory thought processes in their head.

[Anonymous No.11412671]

All he thought about was the rocket.
The only maths he learned was to make the rocket fly.
It's a classic Asperger trait.
