“Mad” Mike Hughes Flat-Earther to Launch Steam Rocket Today 11th August 2019 Mad” Mike Hughes — a flat-Earther, rocket builder and daredevil who previously launched himself 1,875 feet (572 meters) into the air on a homemade rocket — will attempt to launch himself again to a much higher altitude this Sunday (Aug. 11). The attempt will be filmed by the Science Channel for the upcoming new series “Homemade Astronauts.” In March 2018, after a few failed attempts, Hughes successfully launched aboard his rocket and survived the trip, landing via parachute. The then-62-year-old Hughes walked away with some soreness and a compressed vertebra, he told Space.com. In the upcoming launch attempt, Hughes will aim for an even greater height: 5,000 feet (1,500 m). Hughes will lift off aboard a refurbished, improved version of the steam-powered rocket he launched last year. He told Space.com 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. “Homemade Astronauts,” which is set to premiere in 2020, showcases civilians who endeavor to build and launch rockets and equipment for spaceflight. mojave desert, crash, conspiracy, homemade rocket, cat-news, world, disaster, flat earth, engineer, rocket, mad mike hughes, earth, inside_edition, ie offbeat, inside edition, science

“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

A California man who said he wanted to fly to the edge of outer space to see if the world was flat or spherical died when his DIY rocket blasted off into the desert sky and plunged straight back to Earth. “Mad” Mike Hughes was killed on Saturday afternoon after the crash on private property near Barstow, California. UGC footage showed the rocket taking off, with what appears to be a parachute tearing off during the launch. The steam-powered rocket streaks upward, then takes around 10 seconds to fall straight back to earth. Modern flat Earth societies are organisations that promote the belief that the Earth is flat while disputing the Earth’s sphericity. #FlatEarth #MikeHughes #RocketLaunch Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
