the LOS ANGELES – Wanted to prove that the Earth is flat, but it is dead in an attempt to launch into space aboard a rocket craft to steam. This is what happened to the 64enne “Mad” Mike Hughes , yesterday, crashed in the california desert, after having launched near the town of Barstow with a rocket that was built by only.

believed that the Earth was flat, Hughes wanted to fly up to 1500 meters for shooting from the top his theory, thus demonstrating his faith “terrapiattista”. A video posted on social media shows the rocket taking off and the parachute, what would have had to take it in except for, which detaches soon after making him fall to the ground.

The business of the former limo driver, which won the record of the length of the jump on his third attempt, had been sustained by Homemade Astronauts, a Tv series about amateurs who try to build rockets, that was to be broadcasted on the american channel Science Channel. In a tweet of condolences to the family, Science Channel wrote that Hughes is dead, chasing his “dream”.
