and his face that is now flat as a mofoHe just failed to keep the nose up but he did prove that spot he crashed into was flat.

Wtf did I just watch
Was he in the parachute or the rocket crash at the end?
How was this supposed to prove that the earth isn't flat?
And he landed 'flat' on it.
DRONE?? How about "AIRPLANE"? Any commercial flight takes anyone MANY times higher than he flew today. Still not as high as he'd need to be to get a CONVINCING shot of the curvature/sphericity of the Earth, but I believe that he might have come back down in fewer pieces.The news reported that he did it this way, to get actual pictures of the Earth from above (to prove it was flat).
I have 1 word - DRONE?
Just as effective (more perhaps) and would have been a hell of lot cheaper than building that rocket.
Was he attached to the parachute, or the rocket? Then again...doesn't matter. Same result.
I'm guessing the rocket. The parachute descent seemed survialable.
Surprised he died, didnt look that bad.
Dumb muthafucka.
BARSTOW, Calif. (AP) - A California man who said he wanted to fly to the edge of outer space to see if the world is round has died after his home-built rocket blasted off into the desert sky and plunged back to earth.
So, this was as poorly a conceived idea as I have ever heard of. But really, the only complaint I have is that it wasn't a three-man ship and he took trump and mcconnell with him.
Not to mention, from outer space the earth looks like, wait for it, a fucking disc.

Daredevil and Flat Earth theorist Michael "Mad Mike" Hughes died Saturday in a rocket crash. Hughes, 64, wanted to prove the Flat Earth theory by taking photographs of the Earth from a homemade rocket.
Saturday's rocket launch was to be featured on the Science Channel, which was chronicling Hughes' attempts to launch himself high enough in a homemade rocket to take pictures of the curvature — or lack thereof as far as Hughes was concerned — of the Earth. This particular launch was only supposed to take Hughes 5,000 feet in the air, according to Discovery.
According to the article cbsnews, he only wanted to go 5,000 feet in the air. Dumb ass should have booked a window seat of a commercial airliner cruising altitude is 30,000 feet could have taken a ton of photos of the earth saved money and his life. Some people who claim to be smart sure are dumb.

If the motherfucker wanted to die there are a whole lot of cheaper options.
You're right. Without a pressurized suit he was more than likely unconscious after a few seconds.Geez, if he didn't die in he descent, I bet he wish he did. He was sitting there conscious the entire time probably, maybe, not sure if those g-forces on such a fast take off could kill a man by itself. But when it hit it top arch and was on the way down, "hey i'm not slowing down, hey, hey, I'm not slowing down, HEY, HEY WTF, GOT DAMN SHIT, FUCK. Guys the parachute isn't deploying" "Mike, your parachute is with us buddy and its shredded...you're fucked"
Or plane. Or helicopter. Or weather balloon.The news reported that he did it this way, to get actual pictures of the Earth from above (to prove it was flat).

That was no attempt, that was mission accomplishment right there.A spectacular suicide attempt
Sheeeiiit, that muhfucka plummeted from 2500ft in a giant plumb bob, picking up speed on his descent. Muhfucka come back like riding a missile.Surprised he died, didnt look that bad.
Dumb muthafucka.
