“Mad Mike” Hughes, an amateur engineer, daredevil and “Flat Earth” conspiracy theorist whose beliefs pushed him to prove it with homemade rockets, died Saturday when his steam-powered rocket crashed shortly after takeoff outside Barstow, California. please log in to view this image "Mad" Mike built a steam powered rocket with the intention of launching himself high enough into space that he could prove beyond doubt that the earth was flat. Despite flat earthers being a pickle short of a Ploughman's Lunch I have to say I admire his tenacity. Expect the funeral will be a closed casket though, very messy way to go. https://www.rollingstone.com/cultur...vil-mad-mike-hughes-dead-rocket-crash-956948/
