It 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.
