Shocked.

Daredevil "Mad" Mike Hughes died Saturday when a homemade rocket he was attached to launched but quickly dove to earth in the California desert.

The stunt was apparently part of a forthcoming television show, "Homemade Astronauts," that was scheduled to debut later this year on Discovery Inc.'s Science Channel.

He was kind of funny.

He died doing what he loved....

From video above he loved women more, so...

The part of the earth he hit sure was flat.

Ed, the crazy SOB committed suicide by rocket ship. Are we supposed to praise this loon for acting like a nutjob?

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Liveleak has the video. It’s taken from a distance—and a hill hides the sudden impact —but the camera zooms in at the right time

The man had a full-fledged death wish.

He was still a human being. Had a family I guess. Poor taste.

Do you have a Wile E. Coyote shrine in your garage or something?

I hope your dick is longer than your memory... You called for an assassination of a human being, genius.

 

[UKwizard]

RIP

 

[Rebelfreedomeagle]

He did prove one scientific theory, unfortunately it was Darwin's.

Edit: Isaac Newton's too.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

he actually seemed like a real nice guy

You literally wished for Trumps death in the political thread.

 

[Saguaro Cat]

Whether you think the earth is round or flat, you will return to it.

 

[Punkin Puss]

I obviously should be awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

 

[Crushgroove]

Who?

Beg pardon, but is there another Ed30330 on this board that is banned from the political thread?

Best thing that ever happened to me. That board is a cancer on the world. Not a healthy place

 

[bigsmoothie]

And front runner ran and narced on me. Blessing in disguise

 

[Crushgroove]

That board is a cancer on the world. Not a healthy place

... and it banned you.

 

[bigsmoothie]

... and it banned you.

It didn’t do anything. The mods did. After someone ran and cried to them.

 

[KyCatFan_rivals45723]

First thing I thought of what this.

Rockhound : Yeah, I remember this one. It's where the, uh, the coyote sat his *** down in a slingshot then he strapped himself to an Acme rocket. Is that - is that what we're doin' here?

It has been mentioned--this guy was likely appealing to the flat-earther crowd to fund his wacky (incredibly dangerous) rocket building hobby.

Just imagine if he were actually a flat-earther and did somehow manage to get that high into the air before the malfunction. He examines the earth's curvature his last moments on earth consumed with the realization that he was wrong the whole time. lol what a way to go!
