"the launch was an event hosted by local daredevil "Mad" Mike Hughes, an amateur rocket builder intent on proving that the Earth is flat."

We clearly have a prime candidate for the 2020 Darwin Award!

I never thought it was going to end well for that guy. It is one thing to be PT Barnum, and it is another thing to put your life on the line in a PT Barnum endeavor.

There are so many simpler ways to commit suicide.
Why do these nuts need to set up an audience first?

We lived in Barstow for a year...some years ago. It had military, Pacific Gas & Electric and trains. That's it.

It was hottern Hades and half way between L.A. and Vegas.

On one jaunt to L.A. we hit the biggest traffic jam I had ever seen. It STARTED 75 miles east of L.A. ALL the way to the City of the Angels. We turned off the freeway sometime before L.A., had some lunch and returned home to Barstow. I wouldn't be surprised if that traffic jam is STILL there.

He didn't prove the Earth is flat, but that he is flat.
