This flat earth thing won't die. What many thought was just a rediculous internet meme has actually grown legs.
Could everything we've been told about our planet actually be a lie? Maybe we don't live on a spinning globe?
Perhaps flatearthers are right, that the earth is flat and the evil powers in control have been spoon feeding us lies this whole time about the shape of our planet! For what reason I'm not sure?.. but we're not here to argue that today.
Today we're here to bow down to one man..
Meet 61 year old California resident, and limo driver, Mike Hughes. New leader of the Flat Earth Campaign.
He's been studying flat earth 'science' for 4 months and he's dead set to prove the world we live on is flat. Once and for all shutting up NASA, Elon Musk and virtually every scientist that's ever lived!
He's built himself a rocket, he painted it with rustoleum and plans to launch himself into space from inside of a modified mobile home.
Sure, most of his homemade rockets have exploded and failed miserably in the past, but he's pretty sure this time he's got it all figured out..
Mike may have only raised $350 from his $20,000 Kickstarter project, but he found the funds he needed from a group of flat earthers and their moms.
With money issues aside, he's almost ready for testing. If these Mojave desert tests go well he plans to strap himself into his handmade rocket and blast off into orbit.
The mission is simple..to take pictures of the flat earth, hopefully return, and finally shut everyone up!
What could go wrong? I'll keep you updated..
Thanks for reading,
