I have never had the urge to launch myself in a homemade rocket and would strongly recommend others not succumb to it if they get one, but I'm afraid it's too late for this fellow.

I do wonder if he'll tell his fellow flat earthers he saw the curve in the surface though.

And also how much he'll be charging for tickets to watch him launch.

I played enough Kerbal Space Program to be confident in my ability to navigate a rocket to the moon.

I'm also confident I would create a red smear on the launch pad for the first 30 tries then suffocate in space or smear the moon for the next 30.
