I wish no harm to anyone but Natural Selection continues.

I actually wished his plan had gone thru to fruition. Then he could have seen for himself that the "Flat Earthers" are a sham.

Who am I kidding, he probably would have called out conspiracy, that there was a miles long matte painting showing the curvature of the Earth for his benefit.

At the very least, don't these people ever take a ride in an airplane??  He seriously had to launch himself on a homemade rocket to test his theory?

He was spectacularly lucky to have survived the last attempt he made. This wasn't Bad Luck, it was the likely outcome.  Even if everything had worked exactly as he had hoped (i.e, parachute coming out last rather than first), it still had a good chance to kill him.

And you know Science Channel put a bunch of GoPro cameras on his "vehicle" in furtherance of their support of such nonsense.  I wonder if they're going to air it anyway  I think of the line from Million Ways To Die in the West:  "They're still gonna use the ice."
