"Mad' Mike Hughes wanted to fly to edge of space to see for himself"

There are science skeptics and then there are people like Mike Hughes.
He could have just "looked out his kitchen window" and confirmed the "earth is flat"

Know anybody like this?

Who was Christopher Columbus trying to prove wrong? Didn't he always say the earth was round and everyone thought flat?

This guy must be from that same family Christopher was showing up!

Chuck2, I find it disappointing that because I don't support a carbon tax or I believe that wind and solar should only be used for what they are best at which is intermittent top ups of the power grid that you have to resort to insults like calling me a flat earther.

That is all they have left, insults and name calling. They have long since given up on evidence or science. So we get preschool level playground insults instead. It speaks volumes about the entire debate.

I watched a documentary about flat earthers and come to the conclusion they’re no different than antivaxers, JW’s, any religious wackos, and enviro nuts. They all get buffaloed into believing stupid shit and get bloody mad when people challenge them. Humans are fickle animals.

Wilton your observations of humans are correct, but you should add to the list those who deny the overwhelming scientific evidence that increasing levels of greenhouse gases cause climate change.

Given the height the rocket would have achieved, the earth still would have looked flat. He would be even stronger convinced the earth is flat.

And just to upset another entire subgroup of people, this guy definitely deserves to win a Darwin award, for adding more evidence to the case for survival of the fittest.

I want the rocket. I have a use for it that will benefit all mankind. 💥😂
