Sounds like Trump and his supporters.
I cannot wait to see/hear about this when it happens. Guy is an absolute lunatic
Honestly, I don't think this idiocy is exclusive to Trump supporters.

How are people so thick that this “flat earth” is still a thing in this day and age?
Obviously these people are morons, but I wonder what their explanation is with regards to flight times? For example, we can fly from here to Australia, obviously heading east, then you could carry on flying from there to America and from there back to the UK making a trip all the way around the world. How do these morons explain that? I've read some of these people's rants and theories but the stupidity just starts to annoy me after a while.
what is the benefit of keeping it secret? there is none..so if there no gain to keeping it a secret...why do people bother?
could he not just take a train ride to the coast and watch the ships sail over the horizon, a horizon that can't exist on a flat earth.....
it is scary how he seems to be smart enough to build what at least looks like a rocket but not smart enough to figure out the relatively simple mathematics needed to prove the earth is round, i mean they figured it out in 330bc for gods sake!
Surely a "flat" earth would still have curvature of seas? The gravitational pull will still be towards the centre of mass, so on a disc-shaped object that would be more of a linear pull around the edges rather than perpendicular to the ground like in a sphere. That would mean water would be more concentrated around the centrepoint and have some curvature to it's surface creating a horizon.
yeah theres no such thing as gravity on a flat earth
you dont need it as its flat..and heavy things stay on a flat surface

Errrrr I think they don’t believe in gravity (or mass), they believe the reason things falls down is because the flat earth is constantly travelling “upwards” thus causing a down force.

It’s utterly absurd.
but it'd need to be constantly accellerating upwards.
quick envelope calculation:
gravity~ 9.81m/s
age of earth ~4.54x10^9 years
so, there's 60*60*24*365.25 seconds per year = 31,557,600 seconds per year
which means over the age of the earth there's been 1.4*10^18 seconds
so, starting from 0m/s (from whatever reference point you like) we're currently doing about 1.4*10^19 m/s
or roughly 4.6 billion times the speed of light.
umm yeah, physics don't work like that....
i guess the only way it could work is if the earth was travelling around a circle to give a centrifugal accelleration but that then begs the really obvious question is what the hell is swinging us around on a magical invisible string.
