So if I read all the articles right, it’s not his first rocket. There’s even a video in YouTube with recordings of one of his previous startings (it shows a severe perforated parachute, and he got some injuries by landing). At least with this background I guess he knows how to build a rocket (read: the engine). However, as stated above, it’s quite stupid to target a height that is so low above the ground. He won’t see anything. At worst, it would only reinforce the idea that the earth might be flat. He needs to get at heights that are anywhere near at least 10, better 15 miles. _Then_ he would get some evidence, because _then_ he would actually see the earth is _not_ flat. If the paranoia is this high in technics made by other people, he could even do a Felix Baumgartner and get into the air with a helium balloon. At least that would get him to 20 miles heights. I’ve read some comments on other newssites that suggest he doesn’t really believe the earth is flat and just uses the flat earthers to get a platform, a publicity. He might be just a show man. ---

It’s as flat as on a 2 dimensional display screen without 3 or 4 dimensional systems. ---

Now I am not that familiar with US geography, but perhaps there is some island he can go to or perhaps take a boat into international waters and launch from there. ---

Shame this is not happening here in Florida. Sounds like an authentic “Florida Man” story to me. A Florida Man launched himself into the air with a rocket made in his own garage to prove to the world that the Earth is indeed flat. Despite the flawless launch of the rocket Florida Man forgot to pack a parachute into his homemade craft and plunged into the ocean after the rocket ran out of fuel. The Coast Guard has yet to find the rocketeer but several pieces of his rocket have been found floating several miles away from where the rocket may have plunged into the ocean. The Coast Guard has said that they will end the search for Florida Man tomorrow. ---
