![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Richard Heene thought about sending one of his kids flying through the air at high, uncontrollable speeds before -- though the first time, he didn't actually stage an elaborate hoax around the idea.
TMZ has obtained a clip of Heene's Internet show -- which he also sold on DVD -- called "The Psyience Detectives." Heene often put his kids on the show, which featured Richard trying out his various crack pot scientific theories. His wife Mayumi also served as an editor.
In this particular clip, Richard shoots a 60lb rocket into the air and shouts, "60 pounds! That's like launching one of my little children" ... foreshadowing faux-flying-Falcons to come.
Unlike the balloon, Heene had full FAA approval for this launch.

This family is getting all the publicity they have been seeking for all these years. But, is it good or bad for them???? I don't have an answer yet.

Im no genius or anything, but arnt you guys just giving them what they want? More publicity, more "reality".
They wanted fame and apparently they are getting it.
Your adding fuel to the flame.
Even if it is trash about them, thats reality tv.
By keeping their name in the news, we are just giving them what they want, we are making them popular, which is what their goal was in the first place.
I hope its just 15 minutes of fame.

Wasting thousands of dollars trying to seek publicity is an outrage. I hope he pays every dime back spent trying to rescue this child. Reality tv is going over the top and he will probably get his own show now meaning more publicity hounds will try to to his stunt. Then one day it will be real and everyone will ignore it thinking its just another hoax.

I hope they make this autistic-asperger syndrome SOB pay for this. Lock the son of a bitch up and throw away the f'n key!

Richard Heene reminds me of Kurt Russell in that 80's movie called Overboard with Goldie Hawn. He looks and acts like the character in that movie.

This man is a child abuser; since the boy barfed he is likely a homo pederast, too. (Sorry, Harv, but some homos are in fact pre-erts, it's a fact.)

How the hell does the average Joe Public get authorization from the FAA to launch a 60 pound rocket?

(Sorry, Harv, but some homos are in fact pre-verts, it's a fact. Hadda fix the typo error here so y'all didn't think I was illiterate, okay? Like we know you are a buff homo, Harv, but not a pederast homo, right?)
