Default This man launched himself in his homemade rocket

A special kind of crazy or seeking glory?

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.

Godspeed young man Darwin needs more astronauts, what could go wrong?
