This man is about to launch himself in his homemade rocket to prove the Earth is flat - The Washington Post

Seeking to prove that a conspiracy of astronauts fabricated the shape of the Earth, a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket he built from scrap metal.
Assuming the 500-mph, mile-long flight through the Mojave Desert does not kill him, Mike Hughes told the Associated Press, his journey into the atmosflat will mark the first phase of his ambitious flat-Earth space program.
Hughes’s ultimate goal is a subsequent launch that puts him miles above the Earth, where the 61-year-old limousine driver hopes to photograph proof of the disc we all live on.
“It’ll shut the door on this ball earth,” Hughes said in a fundraising interview with a flat-Earth group for Saturday’s flight. Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.
Hughes promised the flat-Earth community that he would expose the conspiracy with his steam-powered rocket, which will launch from a heavily modified mobile home — though he acknowledged that he still had much to learn about rocket science.
“This whole tech thing,” he said in the June interview. “I’m really behind the eight ball.”




Don't really got much to add. It's 2017 and this exists. :loco:

if the authorities don't stop it, Hughes will never learn that the earth is indeed round, but he will learn what the afterlife holds.

Good luck armchair!

I say we let it work itself out.

 

[Zues1]

Ole rocket scientist we barely knew ye

 

[volsarelife1]

Once he dies, nobody should feel sorry him. Darwinism at its finest.

 

[Roustabout]

Hope this has a live feed!!

 

[MSME Vol]

Could have sworn this came out of alabama

 

[joevol33]

His people will swear the government killed him to stop the truth.

That's not the only area of science he still has much to learn about.

 

[NEVolFan]

He's gonna discovery gravity.

 

[pismonque]

One other nice detail that was left out here: when he lands he’s gonna announce his candidacy for Governor.


I’m not joking.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Kids, don't do drugs.

Something I saw in the comments of the Gizmodo article about this:

 

[LouderVol]

Steam powered rocket? lol.


I really hope this guys successfully launches.

[BRTiger]

This is phenomenal stuff.

I'm torn between wanting him to eventually succeed at a high enough altitude to show that the earth is indeed round... or die in a heap of scrap metal on this attempt.

 

[VOLatile]

This is just an elaborate suicide attempt.

 

[malinoisvol]

Rocketman's partner: Rocketman's life insurance policy paid (check). Let's lite this candle!

 

[WB4LBJ_4_UT]

Reminds me a little of Evel Knievel's X2 rocket.

NASA is here so nah

We can have both. He can live stream round earth and then play meteorite.

Darwinism

 

[PKT_VOL]

1,800 feet? Why not look out of a plane? Or is that a freemason conspiracy too?

 

[Carl Pickens]

This wil not end well
