Flat Earther Fails To Launch His Homemade Rocket — Yet Again (Slashdot)

Flat earther “Mad” Mike Hughes, who also bills himself as “the last great daredevil,” promised Super Bowl-sized ratings for an event Saturday where he’d blast himself nearly half a mile into the sky on a homemade rocket. “We had 20 cameras on site today, ready for a full segment,” explained the video-on-demand site Noize TV on their Facebook page. One newspaper described it as also being “an event which he hopes will get people to investigate the ideology which holds the earth is flat.” But judging from online reactions, the event was just another disappointment.
