...his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.

Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.

I'm reminded of Jethro Boudine's planned rocket flight to the moon where he planned to find "Moon Maidens."

Good luck on that atmosflat there, Pal! Whoosh
 
Do they think it's like a huge quarter in space or something? Where we all live on one side?

Yes. The Antarctic is not a continent a the south pole, but an imposing barrier around the outer edge. Circumnavigating that is actually a 69,000 mile journey inside the circle of the edge.

Time zones come from the sun being more of a spotlight that shines down on only a portion of the Earth at any given time. it hovers overhead, circling like a vulture.

All because the Bible very clearly describes a flat Earth, and God would not lie...

It also describes the Earth as having four corners, so not a disc but a square, like a big saltine.

obviously, 'corner' is metaphor. But the solid sky, that's gospel. And the Earth, spread across the top of the water like a mud pie, perfectly clear.
 
I call what is going to happen here. Sir Dumbfuck here is going to get himself exploded in short order, and it will all become part of the conspiracy, where "the man" (whoever that is) blew him up, lest he reveals "the truth".

What happened to the theory that there was a shell of water surrounding the earth and it came down in the form of rain and caused the great flood? Are the flat earthers discarding that dangerously modern idea?

Yes, Icarus and all that. This guy is apparently not very literate, a terrible misfortune.

well, yeah. The Water Canopy is important to the creationist model, but the creationists believe in a globe.
To the flat earthers, those verses about rain being when God opens little windows in the sky to let the Waters Above filter down? Those are direct truth.

It's pronounced 'doom-fook.'

Well, he's delayed launch, blaming the government for not letting him commit suicide on public land.

And I thought the hemisphere of water is no longer there, because it all fell on the earth during the flood. That's the story anyway.

The firmament needs to still be there because that is where the sun, moon, planets, and stars are. A literal interpretation of the First Story of Creation screws up not just the spherical earth, but all of astronomy. Flat Earth isn't enough. The Earth isn't the center of the universe, it is the universe!

However, for some reason, I didn't realize there was an overlap with Flat Earth and people that believed strongly in the Bible. In fact, I didn't realize anyone actually though the earth was flat and it was all just a major trolling.

There are lots of people around who believe that spirits bring about illness and good fortune. I'd count this guy in with that group.

Lots of Big Fluddyers argue that the bowels of the Earth opened up and water came up from the earth, not down from the earth's atmosphere. I watched these whack jobs discuss this somewhere.

The story says from beneath and above.
 
The ones I saw in church had it both ways, like in the story. But with a ROUND Earth.

Well, today's the day he said...Tuesday, it'd take him 3 days to set up in his new location. Doesn't it usually take the better part of a day for Nasa to move the spaceship from the shop to the launch pad? I shudder at just how half assed this thing sounds.

Kinda reminds me of the time Evel Knievel tried to jump the Grand Canyon using a rocket powered motorcycle. I used to think the old days were gone forever. Not so!
