In the end I would say he died doing what he loved and believed in, so bless him and his family."Mad" Mike Hughes, a former limo driver who billed himself as "the world's greatest daredevil," was attempting to launch himself 5,000 feet into the air on a steam-powered rocket when his … Flat-Earther's bid to launch 5,000 feet into the air on a homemade steam rocket FAILS after $325 boiler he bought off Craigslist breaks down 'Mad' Mike Hughes, 63, … “Mad” Mike Hughes is carried on a stretcher after his home-made rocket launched and returned to the ground near Amboy, Calif., on Saturday, March 24, 2018. But, I don't know if we have the right to stop people like him for their own saftey, any more than we have a right to stop cliff and mountain climbers, skydivers, etc for their saftey. Also, glad he didn't injure a lot of other people with his rocket. I would also say it is to bad he didn't get more funding and then, he probably could have created an expert team and built a better rocket with better safety and backup systems and maybe actually been able to achieve his dream and still live. Personally, it doesn't seem to me like he was a flat earther, he just used that to get people to fund his project and more than likely, he was just a person who dreamed of going to space and knowing he would never get there due to the government and commercial gatekeepers to space and he decided to bypass them and do it DIY style.
Though, I do feel sorry for his families pain and suffering, I don't think they would feel any more or any less pain and suffering then if he died in a car wreck, heart attack, climbing a mountain etc, because death and the feeling of loss, causes pain and suffering for those who loved the individual regardless of how the death occurs. I will probably get slagged for my opinion, as being callous, but I don't know if I really see this as much of a tragedy as others.
