Daredevil and Flat Earth theorist Michael “Mad Mike” Hughes died Saturday in a rocket crash. Hughes, 64, wanted to prove the Flat Earth theory by taking photographs of the Earth from a homemade rocket. Saturday’s rocket launch was to be featured on the Science Channel, which was chronicling Hughes’ attempts to launch himself high enough in a homemade rocket to take pictures of the curvature — or lack thereof as far as Hughes was concerned — of the Earth. This particular launch was only supposed to take Hughes 5,000 feet in the air, according to Discovery. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mike Hughes’ family and friends during this difficult time. It was always his dream to do this launch, and Science Channel was there to chronicle his journey,” Science Channel said in a statement. Although police did not positively identify Hughes, San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Public Information Officer Cindy Bachman said Saturday in a statement, “A man was pronounced deceased after the rocket crashed in the open desert during a rocket launch event. Medical aid was staged for the launch and was on scene immediately.” Hughes had previously completed a successful launch in March 2018, which sent him 1,800 feet in the air. “The Flat Earth thing is like everything else to me,” Hughes told CBS News in October 2018. “I just want people to question everything. Question what your congressman is doing, your city council. Question what really happened during the Civil War. What happened during 9/11.” At the time,

“Mad” Mike Hughes (Daredevil) had been building a homemade rocket for years to demonstrate that the Earth is flat… Why take such risks when you just have to dip your feet in lakes, seas and oceans to simply observe the spherical shape of the Earth? Music : https://youtu.be/Gw7YRbVWx4w
Famous daredevil ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes has died after his self-made rocket crash landed, TMZ have confirmed. Local reports say Mike propelled himself in ‘self-made steam-powered rocket’ which crashed into the ground. Reporter Justin Chapman tweeted: “It is very likely he did not survive.” TMZ later posted an update stated that he had died. Shocking footage shows his rocket fly into the air at Bairstow in California. After it takes off you can see his parachute drift away, without anyone attached. Mike’s former representative told TMZ: “When God made Mike he broke the mold. The man was the real deal and lived to push the edge. “He wouldn’t have gone out any other way! RIP” The daredevil amateur rocket-maker was reportedly filming for ‘Homemade Astronauts’, a new series on the Science Channel that follows self-made teams on their quest to reach the sky, according to Space.com. With the help of his partner Waldo Stakes, he was hoping to reach 5,000 feet (1.5 km) in the air while riding his steam-powered rocket. The flat-Earther previously told the media that he’s using steam to propel his rocket because it is both inexpensive and relatively simple. “There’s no fuel cost, it’s water,” he said. Mike, from California, was a Guinness world record holder with a 103ft jump in a Lincoln Town Car stretch limo. He built his first manned rocket on January 30, 2014, and flew 1,374 feet in just over a minute over Winkelman, Arizona. We’ll be bringing you the very latest updates,

More info here: https://youtu.be/qrKoqwu94HU Do not demand apologies. I will not apologize for mocking stupidity. If you choose to deny science and common sense and go build yourself an unsafe rocket to launch yourself thousands of feet into the sky with no unmanned testing you deserve an award. The Darwin Award. I guess I should have stressed this more. I am not purely mocking his belief of flat earth. The majority of the mockery is directed at his thoroughly unsafe rocket. But I don’t believe most are reading this far anyway so not a big deal.
