>I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that's not science, that's just a formula

Wow, I don't even know what to say. Does he think these formulas magically appeared in text books one day?

Don’t try to reason with a man who is trying to use the scientific method (hypothesis and experiment) to disprove science. “You cannot reason a man out of a position he was not reasoned into.”
