Man Launches Himself In Self-made Rocket To Prove Flat Earth Theory by obafemee80(m): 10:53am On Apr 01, 2018

A man named "Mad” Mike Hughes has launched his homemade rocket into the sky, with him aboard, in an attempt to prove that the Earth is indeed as flat as a pancake.

The launch, which took place in the Mojave Desert in California sent Mad Mike 1,875 feet into the sky in his big green rocket. The rocket, labeled with “RESEARCH FLAT EARTH”, operated surprisingly smoothly given it was homemade and built on a very small budget.

The rocket was built using scrap metal and estimates indicate the final cost to be about $20,000. The launch pad itself was a modified mobile home, which Mad Mike spent months building for his upcoming rocket launch. After reaching 1,875 feet, the rocket successfully deployed its parachutes and glided back down to Earth.

The 61-year-old daredevil by background has taken to much-publicized rocket launches in the recent years. Thankfully, he was mostly uninjured after this latest attempt researching the supposed flat earth.



Beyond a bruised and achy back, it appears Mad Mike sustained no long-term injuries from the rocket launch.

As for proving the Earth is flat, Mad Mike says that will come later with larger rockets planned to launch him into space.

So as of now, Mad Mike is not convinced one way or another. He still believes the Earth is flat but wants to confirm with his own eyes.

Enter any plane flying across the Sahara and you will see the earth is as flat as a pancake!

If it were round the plane would constantly be ascending/descending......

It should be obvious even to the uneducated that the earth is round.

Everything is in a cyclic manner...

Time, day and night, seasons etc...

This can't happen so perfectly in a flat rectangular configuration.

You would appreciate the roundness of the earth when you travel close to the poles, and experience long days with short nights and vice versa, depending on the season.

Don't waste your time Mr. 'Mad', you'll only end up proving what we already know, only your pride may not allow you to admit it.

He is a fool


Thank God for science and protestant churches, the 'church' would have continued to mislead us.

Giving us all those silly story books to read and tell us it was written OUT OF GOD'S INSPIRATION shocked

That's a fùcking big lie!

A true omnipotent and omnipresent God can't make mistakes with events and numbers as it is in those story books.
Example:


The flat earth stories...


The tower of BABEL

The moon is a light story

The earth is the center of universe stories

God created night and day stories

The sun and the moon rotates round the earth...
So many Bullshìts


Out of God's inspiration my ass.

He is not mad.Everyone who had made tremendous contribution to humanity through science was once perceived to b mad. Though the world has gone this far(progress) working on the ideology that earth is elliptical so I don't really know how it will turn out if he is right.



On the other hand he spent less than 30,000 on a rocket.that is not even up to the amount of building the smallest part of a real rocket....
