” Hughes, who believed the Earth is flat, propelled himself about 1,875 feet into the air before a hard landing in the Mojave Desert in March of 2018.
“My story really is incredible,” Hughes told the AP at the time. “It’s got a bunch of story lines — the garage-built thing. I’m an older guy. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, plus the Flat Earth. The problem is it brings out all the nuts also, people questioning everything. It’s the downside of all this.”

"The problem is it brings out all the nuts also, people questioning everything. It's the downside of all this." Actually, he was the head nut. And bringing out the nuts obviously wasn't the only downside.
He seemed like a nice guy, though not all there. Folks should have stopped him rather than trying to exploit him for their amusement. This outcome was a certainty.

And 5,000 feet isn’t space. There are better ways to get to that altitude.

Actually it’s not bringing OUT the nuts; it’s bringing the DOWN. At terminal velocity.

I can see it bringing out the nuts. Those were probably his last words.
“Nuts! Nuts! Nuts! Nuts! Nuts! Nuts!”
