Darwin Award finalist, "Mad" Mike Hughes, sets new launch date in attempt that will surely prove that his fundamental beliefs are actually a crock of stupid ass shit.
- I want to believeutopian
- If someone is this determined to prove the earth is flat, then his findings will only support his theory. No matter what he sees.dopepope
- No way he comes back and goes 'Nope, definitely round'.dopepope
- To be devils avo here, he's built himself a rocket ship to test his theory where most people just use google (or look to the horizon!) I wont say break a leg!mugwart
- lol, okay mugwartmonospaced
- That thing definitely looks like it could achieve its intended purpose.detritus

- Lol mugwart. You jokin right?fadein11
- The man is a fool with way too much money/time to throw around. If I was his child I'd be both ashamed and angry in equal measures.fadein11
- mugwart, globe earth fact was established thousands of years before google, and this guy has a hypothesis at best, not a theory.monospaced
- I mean, do you commend an adult that sets a trap to catch garden gnomes or the tooth fairy, simply because they don't believe the fact they are fictional?monospaced
- I'm only stating a "man" is free to do as he pleases and believes what he wants. All conforming in my humble view leads to oppression.mugwart
- (he - is both genders before I get stoned)mugwart
- lol, nobody said he can't believe it! you're acting like he shouldn't be mocked, which I wholeheartedly disagree withmonospaced
- I don't believe the world is flat but I have seen things in my time defy belief. I was also ridiculed but as of last december the FBI admitted.mugwart
- dont htink I'm working myself correctly. If a man wants to fire himself up into a rocket to see if the world is flat. He's taken the time to not only learn butmugwart
- build it himself ... to be fair fucking A.
Most of the world is going home and watching netflix. This guy has added a bit of colour (not ridicule) to his life.mugwart - We live in a time where freedoms are being taken away rapidly. So if someone wants to be or do - then be and do it.mugwart
- If not mistaken Tolken belived in the hollow earth. We can laugh but look at his creation to the world. Look at the lives it has touched and inspired.mugwart
- sure we can LOL but he was access to papers we are not and he is no doubt a genius and artist.mugwart
- for me - flat earth is stupid but a belief I have might be laughed at by someone else. This leads to self censorship. For me that's a crime against life.mugwart
- I'm waffling - but what if he flies up and proves it is flat (not expecting) this guy will be a hero.mugwart
- but for me if he flies up and proves it then humans can put this to bed once and for all.... me hopes but hey!mugwart
- another example - I was laughed at an humiliated for wanting to be a writer. my family did as we are doing to him. Last night was like the 5-6 oscar nominationmugwart
- I have (stressing working in a huge team). Had I listened I would probably would have committed suicide if honest. Every night I feel a failure for not owningmugwart
- a house, cause thats what was tried to be installed to me. Instead of me being me I have had to fight to be me... make sense?mugwart
- sorry for waffle. I'd prefer to have a drink with a man whom builds gnome traps against the concensist of belief as it will be a lot more fun then most. IMHOmugwart
- lolfadein11
- why? I know I'm weird, that's okay but I don't think its okay to publicly humiliated cause they are different?mugwart
- Referencing Tolkien makes no sense at all. Who cares if he believed in hollow earth? I’d make fun of his ass too.monospaced
- Doesn’t change the fact that lord of the rings is epic. The relevance is nonexistent.monospaced
- Also, I’m NOT publicly humiliating this guy. I’m talking shit about him on a forum. He’s humiliating himself, and it is entertaining.monospaced
- Finally, believing the earth is flat is quite possibly the most idiotic belief any human has ever had. :)monospaced
- But when this dumbshit launches, I'm gonna watch, if only in hopes of seeing his genes erased from the pool forever.monospaced
- I dunno guys, I only trust science from people whose name starts with "Mad".garbage
- jesus this current trend of people not believing anything due to some from of conspiracy or programming is embarrassing. it's great to question things of coursefadein11
- but defending morons and utterly idiotic ideas just makes you look stupid.fadein11
- form*fadein11
- I think this guy looks stupid enough, but defending him only drags you down with him. Get a grip, it's 2018 for fucks sake.Ianbolton
- In fact, to give people like this a safe space to do these things is fine, but to protect their ignorance is fucked up. Give them all the shit in the world!Ianbolton
- Be nice to everyone, weird or not, but clearly question/debate/have a rant at this guy for doing the most stupid thing ever.Ianbolton
- exactlymonospaced
- im probably not explaining myself. I am about to drop with exhaustion, I'm not saying not question this guy ... I guess I'm extremely sensitive to ridicule.mugwart
- to be fair @Ian your probably right I am being dragged down with this guy. This isnt my belief at all. I just really respect personal free through.mugwart
- I was sort of saying let this guy be the modern day Icarus as his karma.
I am in desperate need of rest and I am burning out at work.mugwart - Mono - do as you will!
I'll get some rest!mugwart - you seemed impressed this guy is going to risk his life to question an established fact, which is funny in itselfmonospaced
- look, if I drove to this guy's house and started harassing him, then maybe you could accuse me of humiliating him .. but that ain't happeningmonospaced
- TBF, I think that alone and of itself is a fairly admirable intent. It's just a fucking stupid thing to decide to challenge.detritus
- ANYWAY ... back to the point: mocking this fucking retard: he isn't even allowing peer review on site. No spectators, no science, nothing. What a moron.monospaced
- I mean, this is the kind of asshat that insists there is a conspiracy about round earth, but won't allow anyone to witness his own research. Opposite of sciencemonospaced
- I agree with above. If it is science then he should be open to all. Live web feed etc.
I just don't llke the assumption that he's moron because of normmugwart - also to stress, he is a man of age he is free to do as he pleases. I also mean that in his death. If he wants to do this... fuck it I think I'm just arguing mymugwart
- own exhaustion.mugwart
- ALSO TO STRESS: nobody said he isn't free to do as he pleases. I AM ALSO FREE to say he's an idiot, with MORE confidence than he has that earth is flat.monospaced
- you are free as well. Good point but you sort of inflict your free will on someone else's free will. To be honest the world is really bring in me down &mugwart
- I'm just sick of all this internet finger pointing.mugwart
- You are insanely confused. My will is not being imposed on anyone. This stupid fuck will never hear my opinion.monospaced
- I agree with mugwart. Idiot or not, respect for actually doing something. Maybe he'll help put the idea to rest.set
- "Any drone flying near the private property will be shot down" sounds like a right cunt though ..set
- You too? He didn’t do anything! He could have easily taken a day hike and gone to a higher elevation. Or even take a flight. He didn’t do anything.monospaced
