Guardian UK: Self-taught rocket scientist plans launch to test flat Earth theory - ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes, 61, plans to reach an altitude of 1,800ft over California in his home-made steam-powered rocket
Hughes has stated that once he lands at the weekend, he intends to announce that he is running for the governorship of California.
Flat Earth theory has seen a resurgence in recent years, fuelled by online message boards and some high-profile endorsements from celebrities. The Flat Earth Society, founded in 1956 and relaunched online in the 2000s, currently boasts of having over 500 members, although the group has splintered into two separate factions with competing websites.
