For the cost of his rocket stunt ($20,000), Hughes could have easily flown around the world on a commercial airliner at 35,000 feet.
He fell back to Earth with minor injuries after reaching 1875 feet-not even as high as the tip of One World Trade Center. According to The Washington Post, Hughes thought they were "merely paid actors performing in front of a computer-generated image of a round globe." It didn't matter that astronauts like John Glenn and Neil Armstrong had been to space and verified that the Earth is round Hughes didn't believe them. The plan: Strap himself to a homemade steam-powered rocket and launch 52 miles into sky above California’s Mojave Desert, where he'd see Earth's shape with his own eyes. Thank you for your time.On March 24, 2018, flat-earther Mike Hughes set out prove that the Earth is shaped like a Frisbee. I'm very glad someone out there has so much hate for the flat earth conspiracy theory that they used the incredible achievement that is reaching the top of Mount Everest to take a shot at all the flat earthers.Ī few months ago, Elon Musk also did his part in ending this theory, but nope, looks like that didn't help.īut, the bottom line is that the Earth is not flat, and this awesome selfie is just part of the proof now. The picture on Mount Everest clearly shows the curve of the planet, but haters will say it's photoshopped.
A simple caption was required because you have to probably dumb it down so that flat earthers can actually understand. Reddit user 'amazed_spirit' posted a picture of himself, or maybe someone they know, on top of Mount Everest with a simple caption – “Checkmate flat Earth society”. Okay, if everyone is still not convinced with all the scientific evidence, maybe a selfie will convince all the flat earthers, since, you know, logic is not a word flat earthers understand.Ī Redditor is here with a selfie to prove, once and for all, that Earth is not flat. If you still don't believe, maybe you should go and find and then jump from the end of the 'flat earth' that apparently exists. There's so much evidence that what we learned as a kid in school – that the Earth is indeed not flat – is absolutely true. It's 2018, people! It's high time we retire this truly idiotic conspiracy theory. First of all – what is wrong with you and second of all – what the hell is wrong with you? If you believe that the Earth is flat, I have some questions for you.
