Re: Of Freemasons, Flat Earth and Steampunk
even it made in America that tech probably become problem but if it made in America or Russia it probably become breakthrough in space tech<snark> instead of another attempt to start world war health where bunch of big wigs tries to solve cancer and try to improve the lives of people</snark>

Re: Of Freemasons, Flat Earth and Steampunk
Sounds like it went poorly though. For all the "minor back injury" reporting there's also a fair amount of "Yeah. I guess. I'll feel it in the morning. I won't be able to get out of bed." (exact quote from Mike Hughes), along with this sort of thing:

Fortunately he didn't get hurt worse. Unfortunately, not getting hurt worse is apparently enough incentive to try this again.

Re: Of Freemasons, Flat Earth and Steampunk
Incredible! He did it? He actually managed to go off and not kill himself coming back down? Wow.
Of course, he says that he didn't use science but followed a cookbook, not realizing how much brilliance, money, and talent went into the science to write that cookbook in the first place.

“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: Of Freemasons, Flat Earth and Steampunk
The rocket in question hit 1875 feet, or had a delta-v of 108m/s. From memory, I think you need ~1,000m/s to get into space and ~10,000m/s to get into orbit.
The catch is that equation the "Tsiolkovsky rocket equation" isn't linear, but logarithmic. He doesn't need "ten times the steam" to get into space, he needs "10 more zeros on the amount of steam". You aren't getting anywhere on steam (don't tell Gabe).
Actually I think you can see the curvature of the Earth at 60k-70k feet (U2 pilots see it), which may be in range of a [hydrogen] balloon [with spacesuits and oxygen].

Re: Of Freemasons, Flat Earth and Steampunk
At least at this time in history, my thoughts on this has changed a little bit. I'm actually kind of glad he launched and lived. Perhaps only because it's encouraging to see someone bring a dream of their to fruition, if 1,835 ft is fruition.

Re: Of Freemasons, Flat Earth and Steampunk
I honestly do kinda admire this guy. He made his dream work. A very complicated, difficult and dangerous dream, too.
