Man Plans To Launch Himself In Homemade Rocket Funded By Flat-Earthers

A self-taught rocket engineer who claims he believes the earth is flat plans to launch himself nearly 2,000 feet in the air on a homemade steam rocket this Saturday.

“Mad” Mike Hughes, a 61-year-old limo driver, told The Associated Press that he’ll be lifting off over the California ghost town of Amboy, traveling about a mile at 500 mph, reaching 1,800 feet in altitude and then exiting via parachute.

His ultimate plan, he said, is to launch a rocket into space so he can see for himself whether or not the earth is flat.

According to Hughes’ website, the launch is set to take place Saturday. The event won’t be open to the public, but “will be available on internet [pay-per-view].”

:hysterical Now that's funny, really it is. I hope "Mad" Mike Hughes gets his answer - without killing himself in the process.

UPDATE: Flat-Earther's Second Rocket Launch Attempt Sputters Out

The internet's favorite flat Earther is having trouble getting his rocket up—again. "Mad" Mike Hughes first hijacked headlines in November by announcing his plan to launch himself in a homemade rocket to prove that the Earth is flat. He rescheduled his stunt to this Saturday, but the rocket never took off.

It turns out that unlike things that aren't exactly rocket science, actually launching a rocket can be, well, challenging. In a video statement filmed right after the launch was scrapped, Hughes says there was a problem with an actuator that prevented the rocket from igniting. "I hate to disappoint everybody," Hughes added. "I'm ready."
