Flat Earther "Mad" Mike Hughes dies in crash of homemade rocket

Horizon is just perception from light bending. Doesn't prove its round. Earth revolves around sun. Earth spins on axis. Where is proof? I observe earth as flat. Burden of proof lies with it not being is there is none outside of digital images. You can't prove it isn't without abstract information that isnt verifiable by people like us. Gonna ignore the ad-hoc attacks

So you believe the sun is round but the Earth is flat? WTF?

Or are we orbiting a flat round sun?

And if the Earth was flat how would one side have night and the other day.. it are we each on a different side of a flat Earth?

Did you flat Earth people flunk kindergarten?

a reply to: MRinder

Sun could be round. In a flat earth model the sun would be orbiting above us. Night is just the sun shining on the opposite side. Even felix's red bull jump used a fish eye. I've more family with both arguments so if that's the best you got come after you look into some more. Oh wait. Good flat info is occulted to. good luck.

Damn, goes straight up then right down....that had to hurt...
Looked like a bad idea from the beginning

You free to choose to believe as you wish. LoL

How does light bend if its a straight flat? most light travels in a straight line even through regular atmosphere.

And humanity just improved one IQ point

yay for us!!

Difference is, in 100 years you and I will be forgotten and Mike wont.

Well as good a way to die as any. I suppose, dont know much what this has to do with flat earth. And rockets especially steam rockets are pretty much crap if you want to get up anywhere. Its why even NASA doe snot even bother much using them. But hey, to each there own.

He would have been better just spending all the rocket money on a drone and a go pro if he wanted to see some higer altitudes.

Geez you guys are really something. Just because he was a flat earther you're making jokes about his death at his expense? I bet if it was a non flat earther just wanting to go in space everyone would have a different attitude about it. Sad society we live in.

He was killed by his fellow flat earthers before he revealed to them that its round! 😂 They have to keep the pretence up to save face after all. No sympathy for stupidity. Don't care if he has family etc. They should all have had the sense to not be sucked in by his dumb flat earth crusade and stopped him. Flat earthers are a total embarrassment to human- kind and need eradicating. Better they do it voluntarily eh?

Wanting to go to space for scientific reasons etc would have made him a scientist doing something to evolve and improve human knowledge. Instead, he was an idiot who had to be different for the sake of being different. He was also a part of a movement that will bring your children's IQs down if they have their way! They are a threat to decent, normal, intelligent human beings, and the need wiping out somehow. This was as good a way as any! a reply to: jidnum

We got us a flat idio.....i mean earther here! a reply to: oneiro13

Might be too late Lumenari but he would win this year's Darwin Award's top honors for believing both the stupid flat Earth theory and that his rocket would go far enough to prove his point.

An instant Darwin Award for him!

Here is a picture of the earth taken from space, I would like to hear your thoughts on this undeniable proof of the globe nature of the planet www.nasa.gov...

You dont need a rocket to see earths curvature just go to any beach and watch ships as they slowly disrepair below the curve of the earth I promises if they are to re---port there they will be back .
Baring that a tall building will do a small mountain also .
if you wate long enough to see a FULL lunar eclipse ( the sunlight hits the moon from both sides as earths shadow covers it making the moon Instance 3d and orange ( been there done that Looks like a basketball in space lololol )
I never have understood how people ever were that naive .

Frankly wile I dont think its funny the guy died I do think he really did not believe it and was just wanting to make money using a very foolish way .
Wonder if his life insurance will pay out ?

Ps earth is not anywhere near round btw Looks more like a potatoes shown without the water .
which also explanes why some ares of earth have higher gravity then others earth has Tummy bulging as well .
But being her real name is Gia and older women get tummy bulges it is expected .

I'd tell my parents to stop being dick heads and get back home. If dad was adamant that he wanted to sit on a rocket full of hot, steaming water and fly, I'd call a specialist.

I certainly wouldn't want to see him die for an absurd belief.

I mean, lets look at this innovative master of the unknown, teaching us how things work in real life...

You're saying to believe in the Earth being round is an absurd belief, right? I agree with you on that.

Whatever one believes, round or flat, it is not worth such a foolish endeavor as this, for sure.

His family doesn't deserve to be hurt, with laughs and jokes, about his death, either.

This is one subject that IS SETTLED, as Earth is round. For the proof we can use the NASA shots from the Moon, we can use the Example of a Sailing Ship where we 1st can see the Mast with the Sail before we see the ship itself as it rises above the curvature of the Earth to come toward the observation point. These people are ignoring the facts that contradict their theory. I think they have some wiring issues to their brains if that Rocket Ride designed to prove the Earth is flat is any indication whatsoever of how nutty the cult of Flat Earth has become. Thank goodness they are not many nutcases like that.

Nobody on Earth has ever seen or filmed a rocket, flying any higher than airplanes.

That sounds pretty 'nutty', I'd say. It's true, so why should we ignore that fact?


I've seen some people say it has been seen and filmed on Earth, but they've never shown any proof of it, ever.

I've asked why they've never even TOLD us where to see a rocket from Earth, along its route, towards 'orbit'. Nobody has answered it, yet...
