At this point in time, everything is out of stock.

You do realise that the site is actually a Poe?

The people who started it were on the wind up; they created a one-stop-shop where flat earthers could make public fools of themselves, while the site owners cashed in on sales of coffee cups, T-Shirts and other accessories to the delusional  disciples.

Well, there is certainly a lack of brains and common-sense at that site....however, stupid is in plentiful supply!

2 minutes in the chemtrail section was enough!  It's like being curious about that seedy little bar in the unincorporated part of town...

I think a lot of the so-called flat-earthers don't actually believe it but pursue the idea as a kind of pseudo-intellectual exercise to prove how clever they are and how poor they believe conventional science is. It's a way of proving not so much that the earth is flat but that it revolves around them, which is where tradosaurus came in.

Followed the rockets don't work in a vacuum thread for a few pages. I need to go and lay down for a couple of hours, my head hurts.

A couple of people on that thread mentioned the experiment of sitting on a wheeled chair and throwing a ball.
A modification of that experiment can PROVE that the air has nothing to do with the propulsive force. If you have two objects, A heavy medicine ball and an equally sized balloon and throw each in turn from the chair. IF pushing against air is what is causing the reaction, then objects of the same volume will cause the chair to move the same distance. BUT if mass is the prime agent, then you will move further throwing the medicine ball. A simple experiment for the doubters.

Mythbusters have proved that rockets work in a vacuum, by actually firing one in a home made vacuum chamber...

... of course, none of this will convince the membership of  The Stupidati, who will declare the experiment fake and the Mythbusters paid NASA shills

All the items for sale are out of stock, not very businesslike.

I haven't been to the site to read through that thread, but I have seen a YT where some guy "proved" that rockets don't work in space.  The same tired "logic", nothing to push against.  His head might be full of hot air with no science remembering or learning.

I have never thought of bottle rockets containing an oxidizer.

The ONLY reason I subscribed there is to so I could see the new posts.

No, I don't post on sites like that anymore, it's a waste of time. I've learned that you can't educate the willfully ignorant. It gets old very quickly if the only responses are insults and stupidity. If, a very big if, someone genuinely wanted to learn something, and I knew the answer, or at least part of the answer, I'd post.

I did PM 2 members there mikeman and raznor, I think. Mikeman came here briefly, I told him about this board.

I have seen some of your posts there though. If I were to post there, my username is, oddly enough, Phil.

The nutjobs are very familiar with that clip, and of course they have plenty of excuses:

The chamber wasn't completely evacuated. (How much air is enough?)
The Mythbusters didn't show the vacuum gauge. (Actually, they did.)
The chamber wasn't a vacuum after the rocket ignited. (So I guess that means a rocket does push on its own exhaust, huh?)
The rocket pushed off the chamber walls.
The Mythbusters are in NASA's pockets.

The stupid never ends.

It's like a mirror image of science.

Good science is about looking for anything that can prove your hypothesis wrong.

CT thinking is about looking for anything that can be twisted to AGREE with you.

[Tedward]

What they are saying is then, the experiment is above their ken to repeat and use that chance to disprove science.

If it really was that important they would have nailed it by now.

I think you're spot on with that assessment.
