It would have been tragic to have survived the parachute descent, but then be done in by the lack of an adequate survival pack. People always notice the size of my “daypack”: it’s only a daypack if you return before dark. Consider the environment you’ll be traveling through and plan for disruption of those plans.
There has NEVER EVER been a scientific consensus that the earth was flat! As for the AGW consensus see:

The primary evidence is the isotopic makeup of the carbon in the atmosphere.
Including walking them out the door and into prison. Their management led to the deaths of 346 people. They should stand trial in Ethiopia and Indonesia.
“While flying into Rawlins, the plane encountered ‘an unexpected strong headwind’, and the pilot realized he would run out of fuel before reaching the Rock Springs airport.”
So instead of landing in Rawlins, he continued despite knowing he couldn’t make it to Rock Springs? What am I missing?
GPS will only give your speed relative to the ground. Proper airspeed is what keeps a plane aloft. If your airspeed is 400 kts and you are flying into a 100 kts headwind, your gps speed will be 300 kts. A helium balloon always has an airspeed of zero, but if it is aloft in the jet stream it’s ground speed (gps speed) could be 200 kts.
Heh! I used to work as a technical translator. When I received a new text to translate, my first job was to read it though and highlight elements that didn't make sense. Then I'd go to the engineer who wrote it and with a smile say, "This part is vague or doesn't say anything. What were you trying to say?" After a laugh we'd improve the original text. I like to think that the final product in English was better than the original French.
Device explained. It supposedly was an invention to save space in the luggage. Despite the dubious purpose of creating more space in the carry-on (by adding a vacuum pump to the luggage?), it fails the TSA test.
