Mike Hughes Dies Launching a Rocket to Prove Earth is Flat 🚀

“Mad” Mike Hughes, the Flat Earther who planned to launch a rocket high enough to “prove”

Earth is flat, has died in a failed launch. The well-known daredevil and amateur rocket-engineer was doing a rocket launch Saturday in what appears to be near Barstow, CA — where a reporter says Mike propelled himself into the air with a “self-made steam-powered rocket” and then crash-landed into the ground. In the video, you see a parachute fly out of the rocket, but it doesn’t appear anyone is using it. The presumption, for now, is that Mike might’ve stayed in the rocket as it ascended hundreds of feet into the air.
