Flat-Earther Mike Hughes set to launch himself into the air in another homemade rocket

Hughes' rocket measures just over 20 feet in length and is powered by 'superheated water.'

A self-taught"rocket scientist" is preparing to launch himself 5,000 feet into the air in a homemade, steam-powered rocket this Sunday.

Hughes' rocket measures just over 20 feet in length and is powered by"superheated water." It will launch itself off a 34-foot long, almost vertical ramp. Once the rocket has reached this height, Hughes—who drives limos for a living—will deploy the vehicle's parachutes, if all goes to plan, and guide himself back down to Earth.Hughes—a believer in the idea of a flat Earth—certainly has his critics, who have poured scorn on his views or what they see as his reckless attempts to launch himself into the air in such a contraption. However, he maintains that he isn't trying to prove the Earth is flat with this launch.
