The problem is it brings out all the nuts also, people questioning everything. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, plus the flat Earth. “It’s got a bunch of storylines – the garage-built thing. “My story really is incredible,” Hughes said at the time. In March 2018, Hughes, who believed the Earth was flat, propelled himself about 570 metres (1,875 feet) into the air before a hard landing in the Mojave desert.
The sheriff’s department did not identify the person who died. “A man was pronounced deceased after the rocket crashed in the open desert during a rocket launch event,” it said. The rocket appeared to rub against the launch apparatus, which might have torn the parachutes attached to it, he said.Īccording to a San Bernardino county sheriff’s department statement, deputies were called to the event. Justin Chapman, a freelance journalist, said he and his wife witnessed the crash. Hughes, 64, wanted to prove the Flat Earth theory by taking phot.
Waldo Stakes, a colleague who was at the rocket launch, said: “It was unsuccessful, and he passed away.” He declined to comment further.Ī video posted on social media showed a rocket being fired into the sky and a parachute – apparently deployed too early – trailing behind it, before it plummeted to the ground nearby. Daredevil and Flat Earth theorist Michael 'Mad Mike' Hughes died Saturday in a rocket crash.
