Here's what stopped the GoFast Rocket dead in its tracks

That rocket is spinning a hell of a lot faster then 6 times per second. He describes the de-spin mechanism as a cable with a weight... like a yo yo?

I'd love to see how that works, a spinning mass stopped in 1 second with a cable and a weight, like a yo yo. Who pulled the string???

BWHAHAHAH....

That is a good one, ranks right up there with earth is a spinning ball (2/3rd of which is oceans) and the centrifugal force of spinning earth doesn't cause the waters to gather at the equator.

And his challenge... Ridiculous, one guy jumps off the edge while the other films it... Really? That's the old grade school programing that one could fall off the edge.

This guy proves nothing as his explanation is not acceptable without some type of of proof of the de-spin mechanics. To stop the spin that fast would be a real feat.

All that said that video of the rocket carries no weight as its easily manipulated to appear to stop. I've always been skeptical of said video, it doesn't prove anything.

The elite tell you in several videos that the rockets hit a dome.[ YouTube. ]

prove there's an edge on your flat spinning disc... go get some f*ckin pics, fall off whatever, get something tangible, something logical to believe. Go up and knock on the dome, something, anything other than tard talk. Until then its all hogwash and those who have endeavored to come to some explanation through science are light years ahead of you.

You could spend your life in so many better ways than the continuance of bullshit you follow. Sure the world is a chaotic place and truth is hard to come by... there are a few who have stepped outside the chaos and found truth but you fail to see or reason with anything outside of your envelope where you hide with no eyes to see nor the ears to hear.

so prove it beyond what the sciences discovered

Nice cover story
Astrotard fail
But keep trying you might convince the retards theyre on a planet hurdling through space.
Makes for good horrywood

I ran into Ky Michaelson, creator of the civilian space exploration team, which built the first amateur rocket to reach space. Knowing how his video became a lightening rod for flat earthers with over a million views on YouTube for a video claiming his rocket "hit the flat earth dome" and stopped, I had to ask him about it... His response included a challenge with a beautiful 1978 Corvette as a reward.

I want to know why anyone pays any attention to Flat Earth Retards!

They should just get the Dope Slap!

I for one want to know what Dr. Astro thinks of this despin mechanism

You guys missed it, as usual.

The main thing to learn is that it is illegal to build a rocket that has steering capability!

Try getting the faa waiver to launch something weighing more than a couple of pounds to more than 50000 ft. Steering or no.

a dome?

LOL wouldn't that be harder to explain than a round planet?

Can we get a schematic or photo of the de-spin mechanism?

Found this, haven't watch it all yet.

How To Stop a Spinning Rocket - Yo-Yo De-spin Explained

This at about 6:30 if you want to get right to the demo.

I watched the videos then searched "rocket yo yo de-spin". Was quite surprised to learn that there is such a system.

Here's a PDF from NASA explaining the mechanics and diagrams.

I'll admit I was wrong saying such a system is crazy, it does exist. Therefore I'll "take it back".

Odds are this is what stopped or reduced the spin of the rocket. I'm wondering why it took so long for rocket man to come out with the explanation that it didn't hit the dome it was just de-spun.

Either way the go-fast video really doesn't prove anything except there is no "dome" up to the altitude 78 miles. I would expect it to be much further out anyway.

It's still flat...

OP is paid.

If by now you don't know the earth is stationary with a dome u should get off glp.

Astro, the man says in the video the rocket didn't stop, only the spin stopped. Your subject title is in error. The rocket did not stop dead in it's tracks.

Very misleading, you really should edit and correct your subject title.
