Mad Mike Hughes has died at the tender age of 64. Hughes, a flat-Earth conspiracy theorist, died when his homemade rocket crashed into the ground with him inside.

I don’t like speaking ill of the dead, but the man was clearly a bit of an idiot. Otherwise he would still be alive today.

Not only did he try to fly in a homemade rocket, he was a flat-Earther who actually spread the bunkum that the Earth is flat.

My heart goes out to his family and friends, but Mad Mike Hughes clearly lived up to his name, which is why he died flying a homemade rocket in the desert.
