He is now the founding member of the Flat Mike Society.
Stupid is as stupid does.
You have to go something like 20 miles to begin to see earth’s curvature. There’s very little air that high so you’d die without a pressurized cabin or a space suit anyway. There are countless ways to debunk flat earth but no ways to debunk round earth. Occam’s razor.
I wonder if he got high enough up to see the curvature of the earth for himself out the spacecraft window. I doubt it.
But, I’ve got to give some credit to him for developing a steam-powered rocket that got off the ground, even if he had a “ground-breaking” hard landing.
Although police did not positively identify Hughes...
That had to be a pretty gruesome scene for the SB County coroner and law enforcement officials to have to go through!
Im surprised he lasted THIS long.
Michael Hughes could have certainly used that information if he only had it before he launched himself into eternity.
I was in a Lear jet in 1987 that we took to max ceiling of around 51,000 feet
No question in my mind the earth is round
Ditto from sailing at sea
Ditto looking at the moon and planets
This is so stupid
I never heard anything like this from this guy. It makes me think there may have been more about his mission than we realize. Sad to here of this.
All aircraft have a lens built into the windows so the Earth looks round. It is part of the conspiracy. /s
He did prove The Law of Gravity.
I didnt want that secret to get out
Well done
I met a Flat Earther and she was not too bright. She thought the Saturn 5 launches were filmed in a studio.
And the reason he just didnt go up in an Aircraft to take pictures?
They must be “in” on the conspiracy. So is NASA, of course, all the world’s governments, every rocket scientist, all the airline/shipping companies that use global maps to navigate, all the satellite companies, every company that uses satellites, everyone that has seen a satellite (which is not hard to do), every sailor throughout history who has seen distant ships disappear below the horizon, and our own eyes whenever we see a sunrise or sunset. So why is half the world lying to the other half? That’s the biggest secret of all!

Video of the accident. His parachute deployed right at takeoff, just like Evil Kneveil’s did at the snake river. But this guy’s parachute separated. He followed a ballistic course, right back in front of the camera.
