Depending how much of a life you have, you may or not have heard of Mad Mike Hughes, a Flat-Earther who has been trying to launch himself into the sky to obtain proof that the Earth is flat.
Yesterday afternoon, in his steam-powered (sic) rocket, he finally took flight. The rocket went up 1875 feet and came down nose first. The video shows him being gingerly removed from his rocket and although he was conscious and alert, he was not entirely unscathed.
How he hopes to demonstrate that the Earth is flat with his rocket is unclear.
