With his rocket adorned with the words 'Flat Earth,' Mad Mike Hughes launched 1,875ft above the Mojave Desert Saturday afternoon. The limo driver turned rocket daredevil reached a top speed of over 350mph. This stunt is part of a larger effort by Hughes to prove the world is flat and that the work of astronauts has been a giant hoax. He hopes to propel himself 52 miles above Earth later this year.
