Flat Earth Researcher Daredevil “Mad Mike” Hughes Dies In Rocket Crash

Daredevil “Mad Mike” Hughes is one of the few people who believe that the earth is not spherical in shape but rather flat. He wouldn’t stop until he sees the earth’s shape from far above with his very own eyes.

Mad Mike had been trying to complete his rocket mission for years. In 2017, he raised $8,496 on GoFundMe to build a rocket that would allow him to prove his conspiracy theory that the earth is in fact flat.




On Saturday Feb. 22, he was launched in his largest vessel yet in the Barstow, California desert, hoping he would reach the the required height of 35,000-feet to confirm (or debunk) the earth’s curvature according to HNHH.

But unfortunately, malfunctions led to him falling out of the rocket to his death. Journalist Justin Chapman shared a video that shows the fatal mishap.

It appears Hughes’ parachute disconnected shortly after the rocket’s ascent, leaving him to freefall several hundred feet once the rocket made its downward trajectory.

The rocket was steam-powered and had an ad for Hud, a hookup and dating app, emblazoned across its side. This design replaced the words “FLAT EARTH,” which had been printed on his previous rockets.




“I don’t care if it’s Russia, the United States, or China. I’m going to go up there and I’m going to see it for myself,” he said. “I’m going to have cameras with me,” he said during an interview with VICE in 2018.
