That guy, who made a steam powered rocket to see if the earth was flat ๐
Steam powered rocket sounds crazy but it would of worked if they didn't shoot him down with the space laser.
Sad fact: he only made it about 500m so he never even found out.
We may never know.
I feel like that's how a lot of these go. We could've had flying pintos if they had used larger wings. But then the inventor dies and their work rarely gets picked up again, even though most of the heavy lifting is done.
