The flat-earth stuff is nonsense, but I am glad he stuck to it and launched. Congrats, and even a bit of admiration.
I was either downvoted twice because the mods were flat earthers, or because they view it as impossible to ever admire guts in an idiot. And if you want to say it was down-voted because the comment was not technically informed or provided insight as befitting an expert in the field, I'd respond that this article is clearly asking for flippant comments, no serious discussion is to be had about this article. It is a fluff article, and deserves fluff comments. So instead of down voting, as I am sure this comment will also receive, write why you disagree.
