This 503c foundation collects money to provide any Flat
Earther with the necessary epiphany, by paying for their
ticket on Virgin Galactic or any available alternative.
Though initially tickets are in the $250K range, they are
expected to fall in price over time, and thus opening the
chance
to significantly reduce, if not eliminate, one of the
most persistent conspiracy theories.
(we will consider an extension to support Moon trips when
prices come into range)

Will those include the hollow interior ? |

The cost of the Moon trips will be offset by the revenue from cheese mining |
|
| |
Hypnotism, mind-control drugs and VR projection screens cost a lot less than $250k. Not only do you try and con people into believing your "orthodox" conspiracy but you get to make a huge profit off them too. |

The Universe is flat and the Earth is part of the Universe,
so... |
|

[pocmloc] But travel to the Moon is risky and so you'd expect a certain number of trips to fail catastrophically, with the loss of life of all passengers. If you fake it with hypnotism and VR you'll soon be found out because of the remarkably low
death-rate associated with your Moon travel service... - *unless* you're prepared to kill a certain percentage of the people who sign up for your service in order to maintain the pretence. |

bah, risky, Elon will fix it. |

Commercial air carriers have got away with that for decades,so why not ? |

Daedalus...wasn't that a cartoon in New
Scientist...further delving shows he was the
bloke who first proposed bucky ball stuff see

Daedalus an artisan, father of Icarus, Greek myth, made them
both wings to escape a prison.. there were design flaws,
namely that they
weren't idiot proof, his son was an idiot.. didn't end well ..
also
known for pushing his nephew off a tall building for being a
smartass & showing him up at trade fairs, thereby inventing
defenestration. |
|
| |
Ah yes, that's when the microshyte tech support helpline tells you to "try closing all the windows and then opening them again" ... |

Thanks for nothing, Bill. |

A lomg-running back-page column. An interesting bloke; a direct descendant of [MB]'s famous Great-great-great uncle, Dr. Strabismus Buchanan (whom God preserve) of Utrecht. |

// Daedalus an artisan, father of Icarus // Once Icarus
flew above the noise and confusion, just to get a glimpse
beyond the Flat Earth illusion, his wings melted and he
found out he's not in Kansas anymore. |

Let me have a go at that. |

Once Icarus flew above the noise and confusion.
just to get a glimpse beyond the Flat Earth illusion
His wings melted.
Its feathers moulted.
And he fell to earth to acquire many contusions. |

Um, so, all I have to do to get a free ride on Virgin
Galactic is claim that the Earth is flat? Where do I
sign up? |
