Mad Mike and His (Flat Earth) Steam Rocket

Flat-earth rocket pilot on February launch: I expect 'more viewers than the Super Bowl'

What goes up must come down.

When it comes to football, if the Eagles go down on Saturday, they won’t rise up for an opportunity to win Super Bowl LII early next month.

But that’s neither here nor there to “Mad” Mike Hughes, who believes his event scheduled for the day before the Super Bowl will draw more international attention than big game itself.

If his name rings a bell, it’s because you heard about the daredevil/limousine driver’s plans to ride a rocket into space back in November to highlight flat-earth awareness.

That whole endeavor never took off on account of red tape at the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management. That’s no longer the case, Hughes told PhillyVoice on Friday afternoon.

Now that he’s found some private land in the “ghost town” of Amboy, California – complete with a brand-spanking-new road that’ll enable him to get his motor home and rocket gear to the site – the risky endeavor is a go.

“It’ll be a vertical launch, me strapped into the rocket with 6,000 pounds of thrust, going up about three-eighths of a mile,” he said, noting it’s a prologue to a major launch this Fourth of July weekend. “It’s the ultimate Wile E. Coyote move.”

In a crushing blow to his ego, Michael “Mad Mike” Hughes has once again failed to launch his rocket for flat Earth “research.”

The 61-year-old limo driver previously gained notoriety when he attempted to blast off in the rocket back in November 2017 — a mission he called off at the last minute. This time, Hughes says a problem with the rocket’s actuator caused its ignition to malfunction. Since he wholeheartedly seems to believe the Earth is not round — a fact proven time and again in infinite permutations — it’s hard to say if Hughes actually knows what’s going on with his rocket.

“I’m sorry to disappoint everyone; I did the best I can do,” Hughes says in a video statement released after the failed launch. “I manned up. I got in it.”
