He is now the founding member of the Flat Mike Society.
Stupid is as stupid does.
You have to go something like 20 miles to begin to see earth’s curvature. There’s very little air that high so you’d die without a pressurized cabin or a space suit anyway. There are countless ways to debunk flat earth but no ways to debunk round earth. Occam’s razor.
“Although police did not positively identify Hughes...”
That had to be a pretty gruesome scene for the SB County coroner and law enforcement officials to have to go through!
Michael Hughes could have certainly used that information if he only had it before he launched himself into eternity.
I was in a Lear jet in 1987 that we took to max ceiling of around 51,000 feet
No question in my mind the earth is round
Ditto from sailing at sea
Ditto looking at the moon and planets
This is so stupid
I never heard anything like this from this guy. It makes me think there may have been more about his mission than we realize. Sad to here of this.
He did prove The Law of Gravity.
And the reason he just didn’t go up in an Aircraft to take pictures?
They must be “in” on the conspiracy. So is NASA, of course, all the world’s governments, every rocket scientist, all the airline/shipping companies that use global maps to navigate, all the satellite companies, every company that uses satellites, everyone that has seen a satellite (which is not hard to do), every sailor throughout history who has seen distant ships disappear below the horizon, and our own eyes whenever we see a sunrise or sunset. So why is half the world lying to the other half? That’s the biggest secret of all!

Video of the accident. His parachute deployed right at takeoff, just like Evil Kneveil’s did at the snake river. But this guy’s parachute separated. He followed a ballistic course, right back in front of the camera.
WELL, he was wrong about his rocket but he was right about the flat earth
this whole “earth is round” BS is a United Nations/EU plot, hatched by their secret agent Eratosthenes in Syene, a city south of Alexandria, on 19 June, 240 BCE. The plan is to tax half of the working class for government protection against falling off from the bottom side, and then to flip the whole thing over and tax the other half of the working class for the same “free entitlement.” Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont, Communist) will be in charge of confiscating your wealth and Congressman Henry Calvin Johnson Jr. (Democrat, Georgia’s 4th district) will be in charge of the flipping
Sad for his family, but what a dumbass.
I must say, I am enjoying the comments. Very Funny!
Weren't there any smallish mountains in his neighborhood that he could have climbed, instead?
Heck, a good-sized hill would have been high enough!

He didn’t prove that the earth was flat, but he DID learn how to make applesauce!
These flat earthers have answers to everything, even when you can prove their answer wrong. A guy I know believes the government has planes leave chem-trails to could the sky and control the weather and swears they use a “sun-simulator” to project what we rubes THINK is the sun in our sky...
I’m sure he believes that tides are operated by the government as well..
