Mike Hughes: The supporter of flat Earth died from a rocket fall

The proponent of the flat Earth theory, Mike , was killed yesterday Saturday after uncontrolled of the rocket that was inside. He wanted to go high to verify his theories firsthand.

Mike Hughes was killed inside his improvised rocket, on Saturday, February 22, 2020, at the age of 64, when the parachute that was used for its smooth landing, was detached from the rocket, shortly after its launch.

The rocket crashed in the desert near Barstow, California. The launch was filmed by Science Channel, for the Homemade Astronauts series, which shows the adventures of amateur rocket makers.

Hughes' goal was to verify his belief in a flat, disc-like Earth by flying into space, with successive launches that would take him higher and higher in altitude. Its first launch took place in 2014 and reached 418 meters (1.374 ft), but subsequent successive launches did not go much higher. A 2018 reached up to 570 meters (1.875 feet).

It is not yet clear why the rocket failed. Hughes had spent about $ 18.000 on this rocket. It was financially based on contributions from followers of the flat Earth.
