Quite. The Earth isn't flat, but the universe is.

How can it be flat with 10 dimensions?

Should have been sectioned for his own good.

So, a few years later we have the predictable ending.

'Mad' Mike Hughes dies after crash-landing homemade rocket

With the help of his partner Waldo Stakes, Hughes was trying to reach an altitude of 5,000ft (1,525m) while riding his steam-powered rocket,

Could have saved himself by getting on a commercial flight, but then again he was more interested in being a budget version of Evel Knievel than really attempting to prove the Earth is flat. Maybe Musk will send his ashes up on a SpaceX rocket out of respect for a fellow rocketeer, and also for a bit of irony (look what you would have seen).

A nice thought, but kg is a unit of mass, not weight.

The most compelling evidence I've ever heard that the earth is flat is that MF hasn't rolled off it.

His gravitational pull is too great.

If the earth was flat, gravity at the south pole would drag you horizontally back to the equator.

Even if the Earth is much thicker and denser around the Southern circumference?

More amusing is that 550m is not really very high. Even if you don't believe in aeroplanes(?) You can go up buildings higher than that or just walk up a hill.

He's actually going for this years Darwin award.

He's already built successful manned rockets IIRC, certainly he has a track record of engineering things that work.

Sky News (appropriate source ) report launch delayed until Tuesday (today?). No word if he'll be taking a bowl of spaghetti with him for the journey.
