Yes. I just wonder why he did not opt for ballooning; Using hot-hydrogen ballz he'd got much higher, surely high enough to dosprove his theory...?

Because he was a flat-earther perhaps? Not something I’d associate with well thought out plans and procedures.

I suspect you are correct there.

However the fact that this guy was able to really build a steam-powered rocket that actually rose off the ground is enough to give him some credit. I think the odds of blowing up the whole installation are much higher than getting it to fly up to height of half a kilometer in one piece!

Perhaps more important then the flat earth nonsense, the inventor of cut and paste passed away. RIP Larry Tesler.

Endsormeans has been quiet since he announced he starts using N900 after a long time. First I wondered why he has been quiet, but then I understood: he is reading the wikipages and going through the TMO before posting anything. Darn. I sure would have wanted to point him there for a question.

At least one:



I looked it up. They spelled the name wrong. It's Browne. But the date is correct. The book is called "End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World".

It is proof that when you shoot one bullet, you may miss. But when you shoot a million, at least one is bound to hit. Those who want to believe will ignore the 999,999 bullets that missed, like the passage just above the circled one.
