    Hi,
    I can't be flat.
    If it was, cats would push everything off the edge!
    Cheers

    According to a statement by Mike it was never about the Flat Earth stuff. Read on dear reader......
    sure the Earth was flat, according to the Los Angeles Times.He later told Space.com his beliefs on the shape of the Earth weren’t the reason behind his mission.
    “I believe the Earth is flat,” Hughes said. But “this flat Earth has nothing to do with the steam rocket launches,” he added. “It never did. It never will. I’m a daredevil!”
    He also cited a “personal desire to inspire my fellow Americans to help make this country great again,” adding that he hoped to be invited to the White House.
    Mr Hughes once told AP the flat Earth storyline, along with his age, the launch location and the DIY rocket construction was apart of what made his efforts so “incredible” as a story, but did say the “problem” with the flat Earth theories was that “it brings out all the nuts also”.

    The Earth is obvously round.
    I have definitife proof as I always go faster heading South than North.
    This is due to going South being down hill.

    Obviously, since you never launched yourself into space from Antarctica that bears your theory out, roight?

    Alternatively if Doom Alley is on a southern facing slope that could account for it as well. Just counting the Speeding Fines would substantiate that or not.

    The other theory could be that:
    Heading South is away from Doomadgee,
    Heading North is towards Doomcity.
    But I'm pretty sure that is not the reason I go faster heading South.

    That theory is flawed, as it relies on another conspiracy, gravity.

    It's a shame he never thought of chasing this up prior to 2003 as the curvature of the earth was visible from Concorde.

    Although I'm sure the conspiracy theorists would claim it was just another conspiracy....

    Conspiracy? Didn't the Concord have optically ground windows?
