Inevitable, but still kind of sad.

'Mad' Mike Hughes dies after crash-landing homemade rocket


--- Quote ---A US daredevil pilot has been killed during an attempted launch of a homemade rocket in the Californian desert.

"Mad" Mike Hughes, 64, crash-landed his steam-powered rocket shortly after take-off near Barstow on Saturday.

A video on social media shows a rocket being fired into the sky before plummeting to the ground nearby.

Hughes was well-known for his belief that the Earth was flat. He hoped to prove his theory by going to space.

People often say things like "he died doing what he loved". It seems to me he died being stupid. So people love to be stupid, I guess  :-//

I guess the rocket was sabotaged by rounded earth conspirators ?  :-//

While he was trying to prove something idiotic, at least I can respect that he was actually trying to use a scientifically valid-ish method.

Nah, clearly a false flag operation to create sympathy for the flat earthers.

His target? Hit an altitude of 1500m.

So, he could have walked up a small mountain and be done with it.
