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]

‘Mad’ Mike Hughes, the daredevil Flat Earth enthusiast who garnered worldwide headlines with his homemade rocket launch back in 2018, sadly passed away this weekend when an attempt at exceeding his previous feat turned tragic. The accident reportedly occurred on Saturday morning near the California city of Barstow when Hughes took to the sky in a steam-powered vessel of his own creation with the goal of reaching an altitude As a crowd of onlookers and a camera crew from the Science Channel watched in horror, the Hughes-piloted rocket soared into the air before quickly plummeting to the ground. At the start of the launch, which can be seen above in a video one of the parachutes designed to safely bring the vessel back down to Earth can be seen tearing away from the rocket. This likely set off a chain of events wherein the remaining three parachutes subsequently failed to deploy, leading to the daredevil’s demise.

Disturbing new video shows the moments before a man, who was launched in a homemade rocket, plunged to his death. About 50 people gathered in a San Bernardino County desert to watch Science Channel star ‘Mad Mike’ Hughes make the launch Saturday. But the rocket apparently hit a steel ladder on the launch ramp and ripped off a parachute can, which opened and got caught in the thrust of the rocket.

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.

Daredevil “Mad Mike” Hughes died after his homemade rocket crashed shortly after takeoff near Barstow, California. Amy Johnson reports.

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/

Not for the faint hearted. It is presumed that he didn’t make this flight out alive as his parachute clearly ejected underneath the engine plume.
