    No. He'll keep trying until it shoots way up, malfunctions, and blows himself up, which then starts the conspiracy theory that NASA / NSA / The Amalgamated Globe Makers of America had him killed so that he wouldn't be able to expose the truth.

    I do have a question for them, though. The Earth is flat, right? So we all live on the surface, or the top in other words. That means we can double the Earth's living space by finding the edge and colonization the bottom ... right?? Or is the Earth sitting on something "all of the way down?" I've always been confused over that. And heck, who says that the edges are inhabitable? Or does gravity just always go "down" so they'd slide off, and anyone on the "bottom of the sheet" would immediately fly off downwards. Well that's silly ... (right??), so that means it's Earth all of the way down and we're living on a very large mountain-top, with Earth on top of Earth, on top of .... Earth? And they acknowledge other round planets, so why is the Earth special again?

    I wish someone would explain to me what the Earth is sitting on, if any, and if NOT what happens to gravity when you're on the bottom. And if the Earth really is sitting on something, what happens if you drill down FAR ENOUGH? I'm sorry, I'm just way confused here; someone please enlighten me.

    This will render on the page as a normal link to google.com and if you hover over it, will only show you the destination URL. It does not show you the ping back URL , so users will not even realize this is happening unless they examine the sites source code. Scripts that receive the ping POST request, can then parse the headers in order to see what page the ping came from and where the hyperlink audited link was going to.

    Yeah, I think I'll go with Science for $100, Alex, At least in this category you have a chance to change people's minds. Also science isn't a God, it's a method, a procedure. You can (and probably should) get anal over it but unless you suspect / can prove fraud you should take their results and analyze, dissect, object, and run with it and even duplicate it -- show 'em where they're wrong.

    With religion, they're "just right"; The End. Only The Evil One would object to Their Ideas and need to be defeated and silenced to protect The Good Believers. (OT: Why does this also sound like what I hear about SJW activists?)

    It was the ?Catholic Church? who a decade ago was objecting to "The Da Vinci Code" because it might influence the faith of Believers. If a single movie can influence your faith, then you don't have any to start with.
