5000 feet he was aiming for.

Worth a listen. Looking back on this crazy Californian called Larry who wanted to fly. So got a lawn chair some balloons and took off. He got way way higher than 50000 feet. Two commercial airplanes even saw him.
I know it's horrible that he died doing what he loved - being an idiot - but I had to laugh at the parachute coming out seconds after launch and just getting shredded immediately. that's some Wile E. Coyote shit right there.

The rocket was probably sabotaged to keep the truth from coming out.

Seriously though, have flat earthers ever explained why world governments would want to keep it a secret that the earth is flat? What would be the benefit of that?

Yeah but that would entail having to listen to brain-dead morons who, you know, think the earth is flat.

I guarantee that lady is also an anti-vaxxer, etc.
I didn't watch the whole thing, nor will I, because I might die. I watched snippets.
