On March 24, 2018, flat-earther Mike Hughes set out prove that the Earth is shaped like a Frisbee. 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.

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. According to The Washington Post, Hughes thought they were "merely paid actors performing in front of a computer-generated image of a round globe."

The attempt, ultimately, was a flop. He fell back to Earth with minor injuries after reaching 1875 feet—not even as high as the tip of One World Trade Center. 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.

Hughes isn't alone in his misguided belief: Remarkably, thousands of years after the ancient Greeks proved our planet is a sphere, the flat-Earth movement seems to be gaining momentum. "Theories" abound on YouTube, and the flat-Earth Facebook page has some 194,000 followers.

Of course, the Earth isn't flat. It's a sphere. There is zero doubt about this fact in the real, round world. To say the evidence is overwhelming is an understatement.

Or Jupiter

Mars?

@aMk nEt that doesn't prove space. you guys need to present better evidence

@perkkyy ahahahaha u read brainwashijg articles

The guy built a rocket in his yard

If you ask me hes a genius and survived

'' stars and nebulas exist therefore space exists ''

is a logical fallacy

Yes

so is your guys live talking about fake flat earthjust be normal

@aMk nEt argument from ignorance fallacy

No

Space is empty

In space there are stars

Space exists

You are currently in space

But on earth

same fallacy

Do you get it

Space is empty

It exists

And in space there are stars

Space is empty vacuum

If there is no space that what are astronomers do

Siting and just collecting money

So you’re saying that earth is the only thing that is, ever was, or ever will be?

Yes that is exectly what he is saying

Go take telescope

I take it you’re a theist

And look at the saturn for exemple

Its like earth, round, but its made of gas

What do you see around saturn

Black vacuum

That is? Space

gay earthers awnser this if a plane was going one point of earth to the other pount
