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. --- End quote --- 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. --- Quote from: BravoV on February 23, 2020, 11:07:44 am ---I guess the rocket was sabotaged by rounded earth conspirators ? :-// --- End quote --- 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. |
