You've got to get up mighty early in the morning

"mission accomplished"???

No it hasn't been.

So is the earth flat or not??? We might never no because Mike is keeping quiet on the issue.

It's like a Frisbee.

No he said 'he thinks" it is like a frisbee. There was no definitive answer.

I just presented scientific evidence of Frisbee shaped planets, this guy is a screwball. Next thing you know he'll be saying the earth is like a sphere

on top of a turtle.

 

and as the lady said to Bertran Russell, “it’s turtles all the way down”.

 

this guy is a screwball.

Ya, the Article say's it all.

LOS ANGELES — He finally went up — just like the self-taught rocket scientist always pledged he would.

He came back down in one piece, too — a little dinged up and his steam-powered vessel a little "cracked up".

More like crack pot, but at least he shot himself skyward. Is he an astronut?, ahem, I mean Astronaut.

Why yes, he is.

WOW, two 'Mad Mike's' die within weeks of each other!
Mad Mike Hughes.
Mad Mike Hoare (British soldier and Mercenary).
Max.

 

Not to be overly morbid, but one report implied MMH was not in the rocket when it fell, but was pulled/thrown free when the parachute deployed. Anyone have a more detailed account?

A steam-powered rocket with the capacity for a man-sized payload is kinda cool. I’m not getting in one but I’d like to see it.

 

Maybe he thought the Darwin Award came with money?

 

free when the parachute deployed.

Not deployed actually, according to the video...

 

Parachute testing is a life long occupation.

 

I had no idea steam powered rockets existed .... there seem to be a number of different designs , some use on board batteries to heat the water into steam ....

It seems Mike's rocket had a pressure vessel containing super heated water ..VERY dangerous ...".... wanted it at 350 psi for maximum thrust, but it was dropping to 340. .."

Perhaps it's like the bottle rockets you pump up to a few atmospheres ... the pressurized air pushes the water out for thrust ...

Maybe in Mike's rocket the pressurized steam pushes out super-heated water which instantly turns to steam.

Steam is the final step before warp drive. This means Mike's future engine signature won't be detected by Vulcan's until much later.

 

According to a NYTimes interview, his publicist mentioned the following:

Mr. Hughes “didn’t really care if the Earth was flat, and was fully ready to concede his error once he could see it with his own eyes in a final stunt that he was working towards,” the post read.

Mr. Shuster, his publicist, maintained that Mr. Hughes’s professed flat-Earth beliefs were simply intended to garner money and publicity for his stunts.

In plain English, he was milking suckers.......

I can think of much safer Con Games.

 

it can't be flat. now it is dented....
