I shouldn't need to point out the obvious hole in that theory.

Another Flat Earth believer here below, maybe he got hit in the head one too many times...

...


“The Earth is flat, 100 per cent.”

“There’s no proof of the Earth’s curvature and this fake space agency NASA use CGI images and every one is different. I’m looking at them thinking, ‘Hang on a minute, they’re like cartoons.’”

Says:

Former British boxer and current boxing commentator Carl Froch who competed from 2002 to 2014, winning a number of super-middleweight world championships, including the WBC title twice, the IBF title and the WBA (Unified) title. Froch was voted Fighter of the Year in 2012 by World Boxing News.

Alongside an array of speakers discussing their research as well as, no doubt, vendors selling all manner of Flat Earth swag, one of the highlights of the conference looks to be an appearance by "Mad" Mike Hughes, who launched himself in a homemade rocket back in March in an attempt to prove that the Earth is not round. The stunt transformed the daredevil into something of a celebrity in the Flat Earth community and fans of the daredevil will be able to see the steam-powered craft he created for his headline-making mission.

Mad Mike' Hughes, 64, homemade-rocket daredevil, killed in mishap

BARSTOW, Calif. — A self-styled daredevil died Saturday after a rocket in which he launched himself crashed into the ground, a colleague and a witness said.

“Mad Mike" Hughes died after the homemade rocket crashed on private property near Barstow about 1:52 p.m. near Highway 247, the Daily Press of Victorville reported.

Justin Chapman, a freelance journalist, told the AP that he and his wife witnessed the crash.

The rocket appeared to rub against the launch apparatus, which might have torn the parachutes attached to it, Chapman said.

The rocket came straight down into the ground, Chapman said.

According to a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department statement, deputies were called to the event.

“A man was pronounced deceased after the rocket crashed in the open desert during a rocket launch event,” the statement said. The sheriff’s department did not identify the person who died.

In March 2018, Hughes, who believed the Earth is flat, propelled himself about 1,875 feet into the air before a hard landing in the Mojave Desert.

“My story really is incredible,” Hughes told the AP at the time. “It’s got a bunch of story lines — the garage-built thing. I’m an older guy. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, plus the Flat Earth. The problem is it brings out all the nuts also, people questioning everything. It’s the downside of all this.”

He died a man with his convictions totally proven correct. I bet that Earth felt pretty flat when he slammed into it. Chalk another one up for Darwin.

Once you take the position that every government agency is lying about the curvature of the earth, that means you will never accept any “proof.” These people randomly state that all pictures are photoshopped or are CGI without offering one bit of proof. What are you supposed to do with such humans? There is no point wasting precious breath on these dolts.

He must have had some kryptonite cohones to fly in a makeshift untested rocket build from scratch...I'm sure hat ground not only felt flat but also hard as hell...

I watched the flight video on TMZ. The parachute fell off the rocket shortly after take off. That couldn’t have been a good feeling plunging nose first into the ground.

Damn, I wonder if he could see when he was going to impact the ground or was covered up by metal and the impact unknown but at any moment for him...

All I can tell you from that video is when the rocket hit nose first it flattened out like a pancake. I wonder if he bothered with a test flight of the rocket only. We aren’t talking Saturn Five here. It looked like it was heading for disaster.

Got to admire Mike for living his dream. He knew the risks and seemed to have loved every minute.

Except maybe for the last 40 seconds...

Rest in peace, Mike.
Maybe now you can look down from the heavens and see what shape Earth is...

You know... I think I get his point...

He may be right to say to say that we should all be able to see it for ourselves...

Wouldn't that be nice?

It wasn't the message it was the method. Ouch. Maybe a tethered balloon next time around would hurt less
