Mike Hughes’ flight in his home made rocket to prove the Earth is flat went about as well as expected.

Well, they finally got him, didn't they. I bet they got rid of his proof too.

Experiment has already been done.

He wanted to go to 5,000 feet. I've been almost three times that high, and it was in California to boot.

I did not notice the earth's curvature.

If he had only asked me . . .

I'm a Flat-Earther on Facebook. It can be fun sometimes. Just a few days ago I reposted something from CNN about how fears of the Corona Virus have the world "ON EDGE". What more proof do you need than that?

Even if it was misguided and foolish, at least he was trying. And even though he was also crowdsourcing his adventures, seeing as his rockets actually were built and "worked," he probably wasn't making a lot of money from the gullible masses.

Yes, I think he was a genuine idiot rather than a shyster dishonestly parting hoardes of idiots from their money, and he put that money where his mouth was.
