"Seeking to prove that a conspiracy of astronauts fabricated the shape of the Earth, a California man intends to launch himself 1,800 feet high on Saturday in a rocket he built from scrap metal."

In most cases they did it without the chance of explosion or crashing to the ground riding a pile of scrap metal.
