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.
Hughess 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.
Itll shut the door on this ball earth, Hughes said in a fundraising interview with a flat-Earth group for Saturdays flight. Theories discussed during the interview included NASA being controlled by round-Earth Freemasons and Elon Musk making fake rockets from blimps.

He may be raking in tens of thousands on gofundme, and call it off at the last moment.
I read that whole article. Did you watch the YouTube video of his first launch in the desert. I was cracking up!
LOL! I heard that an airline pilot at over 10,000 feet radio’d the control tower and said we just passed a guy in a lawn chair. LOL! If that was Larry, I have nothing but praise for the guy.
Actually, for a first flight it was a success.
Looks like Hydrogen Peroxide/ catalyst motor.

Have fun....
I have a friend who believes this crap...
What if it’s true?
That hes an idiot?
Oh, I believe it's a sphere. I mean, that's if we really do have three (or so) dimensions....
I just lost about 20 IQ points listening to that.
Maybe a bottle of bourbon will bring them back ...
He thinks the Earth is a flat disc like a DVD. A boat would solve nothing. If he thought his 1st rocket trip was painful, his 2nd rocket trip will be a blast ...
4 dimensions
There’s an entire sub-group of morons who believe the Earth is flat. Amazing.
How can it be global warming if the Earth is flat? It’d have to be “discal warming” or something...
Darwin line one..
Darwin line one... future award winner on the line..
Follow your dreams.
Um, put a gopro on the nose of the rocket, that way the rocket will not have to carry his ass all the way up
Well, that's 3, or so.
"Anyway, if the earth is flat, how does it stay up?"
Oh, it rides on the back of a turtle.
OK, so what holds the turtle up"?
Ahhh, it's turtles all the way down....
He won’t be around to get his 15 minutes of fame.
More likely drugs but he did build a home made Scud. ATF?
Phappt !That’s nothing ! Ron Obvious tried to run to Mercury!
