He could have proved this with a helium weather balloon, an embedded computer with some programming, and a decent camera.

Calling this guy an "astronaut " for committing suicide by rocket is like calling me a farmer for growing weeds in my lawn

It's almost as if there was some invisible force pulling him back towards earth.

“He died living out his dream.” We need to stop using this term as human beings. He died being an idiot.

He seemed like a really down to earth guy.

I can't believe this guy thought the earth is flat. We ALL know it's a rectangular cube.

This rocket launch was sponsored by Wile E. Coyote and the people at ACME

"If I get up there and it's a ball, I'll say, 'my bad guys. It's a ball.'" This man just wanted to learn and was perfectly prepared to admit he was wrong. RIP.

I wish more "flat earthers" would try stunts like this.

It is clear that this man wanted to do something amazing with a goal that was not important even to himself, but the journey was. He went out with a big bang doing what he loved and that is commendable. Even if he used a ridiculous premise about how the earth was flat, for him it was about the journey. RIP

So in the end, the only thing he proved to be flat was himself. Poetic.

I bet he crashed on purpose when he saw that the earth was a sphere
