Mad Mike Hughes is a Flat-Earther. He was scheduled to launch himself in a homemade rocket but the government said he could not use their land. He wants to prove that the Earth is flat by photographing it from 1800 feet in the air. The rest of us have known that the Earth is round for about 25,000 years!
