Quote:
'Mad' Mike Hughes is believed to possibly be dead 3:59 PM PT -- We've confirmed ... 'Mad' Mike Hughes has, in fact, died. after launching himself in the air with a self-made rocket that crash-landed -- and it was captured on camera.
The well-known daredevil and amateur rocket-engineer was doing a rocket launch Saturday in what appears to be near Barstow, CA -- where a reporter says Mike propelled himself into the air with a "self-made steam-powered rocket" and then crash-landed into the ground.
The reporter, Justin Chapman, adds, "Very likely did not survive." He tells TMZ ... Mike is confirmed to be dead there on the ground as well.
In the video, you see a parachute fly out of the rocket, but it doesn't appear anyone is using it. The presumption, for now, is that Mike might've stayed in the rocket as it ascended hundreds of feet into the air... (video is in article)

Bummer, I saw the documentary "Rocketman" on Prime video. That dude had guts. That's for sure.

I never could tell if he just enjoyed doing stunts, and was saying dumb shit to get more attention, or if he was just outright dumb.

Did he at least capture some footage that proves the earth is flat?

Doesn’t even look like the rocket went that high up. I can’t imagine how bumbled his entire process leading up to this was. Still though, R.I.P...

He definitely proved the force of gravity is real.

If he proved gravity is real he simultaneously helped prove the earth is round. A flat earth would have crazy gravitational irregularities. He could have taken that hot air rocket to a section with less mass and made it to space, or maybe never fallen to his death. I guess he miscalculated.

See, if the earth was really round the rocket would’ve rolled downhill, dissipating the force.....

In all seriousness though, RIP. The flat earth shit is ridiculous, but gotta respect the balls of someone like this dude making & testing out his own rockets.

At least there was one scientific advancement that was made as a result of this tragedy.

Yikes!
RIP Flat Earther 'Mad' Mike Hughes. 
That's why rocket propulsion/vertical planetary travel should be left to the professionals, like NASA! A another hit to the Flat Earther community

This hero proved more than that. Here’s some more documentation I ran across just the other day. Odd timing, his death right after I see this. Clearly this man was getting too close to the truth and was silenced by the dark reptilian government trying to keep us all locked up in ignorance..

Excellent research Amanita. 
And seeing that video recently is no accident. Ive noticed an increase in syncronicity this year in 2020.
I really hope this happens still: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/flat-earthers-travel-antarctica-reach-14163856
Once they find the "Ice Wall", their community is going to make a huge breakthru in Flat Earth Psuedo-Sciences.
